Intraspecific variation in body pigmentation is an ecologically and evolutionary important trait; however, the pigmentation related trade-offs in marine zooplankton are poorly understood. We tested the effects of intrapopulation phenotypic variation in the pigmentation of the copepod Eurytemora affinis on predation risk, foraging, growth, metabolic activity and antioxidant capacity. Using pigme...

This study investigated the effects of bamboo vinegar (BV) on production performance, egg quality, antioxidant status, and serum biochemical parameters laying hens during summer. One hundred twenty 36-week-old Hy-Line Brown were randomly assigned to 4 groups, with 30 per group. The control group was fed a basal diet 1 mL/kg, 5 10 mL/kg BV added 0.1% BV, 0.5% 1.0% respectively. experiment lasted...

Egg proteins and lipoproteins are responsible of a wide range of interesting properties of many emulsions, foams, gels and other foods processed by industry. The modifications of functional properties of these proteins during food processing determine a complex behaviour that can result in structural changes of difficult prediction, and rheological measurements are a useful tool to study them. ...

ii Egg yolk contamination of egg whites continues to be a serious problem in the egg industry. The ability of egg whites to form stable and voluminous foams is greatly inhibited by accidental yolk contamination, even at extremely small levels. Experiments were conducted to determine if lipase can regenerate the functional properties of yolkcontaminated egg whites. Treatments included control, 0...

the aim of present study was to investigate and compare antioxidant properties of green tea and rosemary extracts and determine the effect of their combination on the antioxidant properties. results of total phenols, dpph free radical scavenging assay, total antioxidant capacity, reducing power and their addition into soybean oil, showed that the green tea extract was significantly (p<0.05) mor...

background and objectives:hormozgan province is located in the south of iran, bordering waters of the persian gulf and oman sea. due to the antioxidant potential of plants which might be responsible for their medicinal properties, the antioxidant properties of four medicinal plants of the region were evaluated. methods: the antioxidant properties of chrozophora obliqua, daphne mucronata, salvia...

Examination of egg white proteins and effects of high pressure on select physical and functional properties" (2010). Egg white proteins have become an important and desirable ingredient to the food industry due to their functional properties which include gelling, foaming, and emulsification. Egg white is also well recognized as an excellent source of nutrition. The goal of this work was to det...

Free radicals may attack cells or tissue, leading to chronic diseases, and antioxidant consumption is potentially useful for removing free radicals. Egg proteins may be used as potential sources of antioxidant considering their ability of scavenging free radicals to apply for food or cosmetics industry. In this study, we obtained a natural antioxidant protein from fertilized eggs, which was a d...
