卵製品の品質・機能向上を目的とした鶏卵のプロテオーム解析

抄録

Hen egg is a nutritious food and a major source of biologically active compounds that are beneficial for human health. Proteomic technology has the power to monitor the protein composition of foods and changes in protein composition during the production and storage processes. Molecular changes in egg white proteins during storage have been investigated using two-dimensional electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry. The appearance and degradation of protein spots and shifts in isoelectric points of protein spots were observed during storage at 40°C for 7 days. These results support the use of proteomic profiling as a valuable tool for understanding the properties of egg white.
