Article Abstract

In this study, a technique that combines supercritical fluid extraction with ethanol extraction was employed to effectively fractionate egg yolk extracts into non-polar and polar lipids. By utilizing feature based molecular networking (FBMN) and MS-DIAL database search, 35 glycerolipids were identified in the supercritical extract (SE), and 70 glycerophospholipids in the ethanol extract (EE). Following the identification of lipids, a heatmap was generated using R software to visualize the abundance of lipids across both fractions. The results indicated that glycerolipids in SE primarily included C18:1, C16:0, and C18:2 fatty acids. In contrast, the glycerophospholipids present in EE exhibited a significant proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, notably docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6) and arachidonic acid (C20:4). Further analysis using GC-MS revealed that the combined content of DHA and arachidonic acid in EE exceeded 10 %. Moreover, EE exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activities, whereas SE showed significant analgesic effects in zebrafish model.

The poor foaming of egg yolks has long plagued the food industry. In this study, four egg yolk spheres (EYS) were prepared via acid- and alkaline pH-shift methods, and the main factors affecting the variation in their foaming capacity were determined. The tertiary structure of EYS under hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions unfolded in acidic shifts, exposing many functional groups, and refolded in basic shifts and exposed hydrophobic side chains.

Egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) has emerged as a promising alternative to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) due to its facile extraction, higher yield, and greater tolerance to organic solvents. This work developed a selective IgY antibody against bongkrekic acid (BA) and isobongkrekic acid (IsoBA), the lethal toxins produced by Burkholderia gladioli pv. Cocovenenans (BGC), which led to severe food poisoning incidents and resulted in casualties.

Analyzing consumers' preferences and perceptions of eggs can provide data support for the egg industry to produce products that better meet consumer preferences. The study evaluated consumers' egg consumption preferences based on an online survey from 2022 to 2024 of 3,434 consumers of different ages. The results showed that Generation Z (Gen Z), referred to the people born after 1997, was more concerned about the topic of eggs and was willing to purchase eggs through e-commerce platforms.

Eggs play an important role in skeletal muscle development, but their active components are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of yolk extract-derived vitellogenin 2 on dexamethasone (DEX)- and cancer cachexia (CC)-induced skeletal muscle atrophy. We used iTRAQ to detect the changes in protein expression between fertilized egg yolk extract (FEYE) and unfertilized egg yolk extract (UEYE).
