Stable isotope ratios are biogeochemical tracers that can be used to determine the source of nutrients and contaminants in avian eggs. However, the interpretation of stable carbon ratios in lipid-rich eggs is complicated because (13)C is depleted in lipids. Variation in (13)C abundance can therefore be obscured by variation in percent lipids. Past attempts to establish an algebraic equation to ...

Increasingly, the health claims made by food products focus on marketing of specific molecular enrichments. Research exploring consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for assumes that individuals hold perfect information benefits enrichment, and their valuations depend solely whether or not they need improve health. While interventions are aimed at higher risk, consumers may be unaware risks face, ...

Egg has valuable nutrients however; these may be affected by many factors. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of cage type, oviposition time and egg storage period on quality characteristics laying hens. A total 410 eggs were collected from unenriched enriched cages in morning afternoon. After weighed, they stored at 21oC 20% relative humidity until 30th day storage. It determ...

Food borne diseases are considered as the major problems for public health in the world and salmonella serotypes are the most important pathogens causing these types of diseases. Present study was carried out for the isolation of salmonella and determination of their antibiotic sensitivity and serovars from local, industrial and breeder poultry eggs. In this cross-sectional survey, 300 samples ...
