Thermal aggregation of egg white proteins as affected by saccharides

Thermal characteristics of egg white proteins (EWP) may differ in the presence of saccharides. Therefore, the influence of saccharides including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), pectin, sucrose and maltodextrin and heating time on physicochemical characteristics of EWP as a whole were studied. Investigation of Heat Coagulation Time (HCT), solubility, turbidity and protein secondary structure of h...

Polymorphisms of prolactin gene in a native chicken population and its association with egg production

The induction and regulation of broodiness is of the most important role of prolactin in avian species.The promoter region of the prolactin gene is an appropriate model for studying tissue-specific andhormonally-regulated activation of gene transcription. In this study, the association between prolactinpromoter region alleles and egg production in Fars native chickens was investigated. In total...

Egg White Proteins

Egg white as a protein system possesses much interest, both biochemical and technological. Study of the egg white proteins has been handicapped by the difficulty of preparation. The five variant system developed by Cohn and coworkers for the fractionation of plasma offers many advantages over the salting-out techniques (1). Low temperatures are employed to improve protein stability. Since low s...
