Article Abstract

The effect of polyphenols on the texture and flavor of egg yolk hot gel (EY) was studied. Tea polyphenols (TP), rosmarinic acid (RE), and curcumin (CC) showed significant antioxidant properties during egg yolk processing and could effectively reduce lipid oxidation products (decreased by 68.9%, 76.4%, and 58.61%, respectively) and protein oxidation products (decreased by 47.49%, 37.47%, and 52.51%, respectively) and volatile odor components (styrene, nonanal and 1-octene-3-ol). In addition, these polyphenols enhanced the hot gel properties of the yolk, but did not significantly change the taste of the yolk. This improvement could be attributed to hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds formed between polyphenols and egg yolk proteins. These interactions produced a more stable structure that was less likely to unfold during heat treatment. As a result, exposure to free sulfhydryl groups, free amino acids and free fatty acids was minimized, thus reducing oxidation reactions.

Cryopreservation can adversely affect sperm motility, structural integrity, and fertilization ability. This study investigated the effects of MitoQ and antifreeze protein III (AFP III) on frozen-thawed semen from eight adult dogs using a Tris-fructose extender. Ejaculates were divided and diluted with a standard Tris-fructose-egg yolk extender containing MitoQ (200 nM/mL) and AFP III (0.

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are important energy sources and significant for energy transport in the body. They also play a crucial role in cellular oxidative stress responses, following cell membrane depolarization, making accurate quantification of FFAs essential. This study presents a novel supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SFC-MS) method using selected ion recording in negative electrospray ionization mode, enabling rapid quantification of 31 FFAs within 6 min without derivatization.

The objective of this study is to develop an HPLC-UV method for the cost-effective and quantitative determination of vitamin D3 in food, even in the presence of vitamin D2, with a specific focus on egg yolk. During method development, the performance of three stationary phases in resolving the peak of vitamin D2 from that of vitamin D3 was investigated. The physicochemical properties of these phases differed particularly in the extent of hydrophobicity and silanophilic activity, including a GraceSmart RP C18 column without silanol endcapping, a Robusta RP C18 column with silanol endcapping, and a Waters Xbridge RP C18 column with ethylene-bridged hybrid (BEH) particle technology.

Maternal nutritional status plays a crucial role in embryonic development and has persistent effects on postnatal chicks. Vitamin C (VC) plays an important role in embryonic and postnatal development involved in nutri-epigenetics. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding (IOF) of VC on embryonic development, egg hatching time, and chick rectal temperature.
