Antioxidant Profile

The chicken egg is one of nature’s flawlessly preserved biological products, recognized as an excellent source of nutrients for humans. Selenium (Se) is an essential micro-element that plays a key role in biological processes. Organic selenium can be produced biologically by the microbial reduction of inorganic Se (sodium selenite). Therefore, the possibility of integrating Se enriched bacteria as a supplement in poultry feed can provide an interesting source of organic Se, thereby offering health-related advantages to humans. In this study, bacterial selenoproteins from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was used as a dietary supplement with other Se sources in Lohman brown Classic laying hens to study the egg yolk color, egg yolk and breast antioxidant profile, oxidative stability, and storage effect for fresh and stored egg yolk at 4 ± 2 °C for 14-days. The results showed that dietary Se supplementation significantly (p < 0.05) improved egg yolk color, the antioxidant profile of egg yolk, and breast meat (total carotenoid and phenol content). When the Se treated groups were compared to control groups, there was a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in total cholesterol in fresh and stored egg yolk and breast muscle. In hens that were fed ADS18-Se, the primary oxidation products (MDA) concentrations in the eggs, breast, and thigh muscle, and plasma were significantly (p < 0.05) lower. However, the MDA content increased (p < 0.05) with an extended storage time in egg yolk. In comparison to inorganic Se and basal diets, egg yolk from hens fed organic Se remained fresh for two weeks. The egg yolk color, antioxidant profile, and oxidative status of egg yolk and tissue improve with dietary Se organic supplementation (ADS18 > Se-Yeast). The source of supplemented organic Se is critical for egg enrichment and antioxidant properties. As a result, ‘‘functional eggs’’ enriched with organic Se becomes possible to produce.

Abstract Background: The chicken egg is one of the nature’s flawlessly preserved biological products, recognized as an excellent source of nutrients for humans. Selenium (Se) is an essential micro-element that plays a key role in biological processes. Organic Se sources have shown many advantages over inorganic Se in poultry and can be produced biologically by microbial reduction of Se. Therefore, the possibility of integrating Se enriched bacteria as a supplement in poultry feed can provide an interesting source of organic Se, thereby increase egg Se concentration, improve oxidative stability and offer health-related advantages to humans. The objective of this study was to examine the effects inorganic and different organic Se sources on egg yolk colour, antioxidant profile, oxidative stability, and storage effect in relation to the treatments for fresh and stored egg yolk at 4±2 0C for 14 days. Results: The results reveals that dietary Se supplementation, especially the organic (ADS18 > Se-Yeast) sources influence (p < 0.05) egg yolk colour. Dietary inorganic Se and organic Se were noted to significantly improves egg yolk and breast meat antioxidants profile (total carotenoid and phenol content). There was a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in total cholesterol in fresh, stored egg yolk and breast muscle of Se treated groups compared with control. Whereas for breast muscle, only hens with organic Se supplementation (ADS18 > Se-Yeast) showed lower (p < 0.05) cholesterol compared to inorganic and control hens. The oxidative stability parameters of the eggs, breast and thigh muscle, and plasma showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in primary oxidation products (MDA) concentrations with hens supplemented with ADS18. However, the MDA content increased (p < 0.05) with an advanced storage period in egg yolk. It should be noted that, compared to inorganic Se and basal diets, egg yolk from hens fed with organic Se remain fresh for 2 weeks.Conclusions: Dietary Se organic supplementation (ADS18 > Se-Yeast) improves egg yolk colour, antioxidant profile, and oxidative status of egg yolk and tissue. For egg enrichment and antioxidant properties, the source of supplemented organic Se is essential. Thus, ‘’functional eggs’’ enriched with organic selenium becomes possible to produced.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of dietary inclusion of walnut and bilberry leaves (WL and BL), as sources of natural antioxidants in poultry diets, on the enrichment of antioxidant nutrients in the egg yolk and on the susceptibility of the yolk to lipid peroxidation during storage. The experiment was conducted on 32-week-old TETRA SL LL laying hens, which were assigned to three dietary treatments with 30 birds each. Each treatment was replicated 10 times with three chicks per replicate pen. Experimental dietary treatments differed from control diet (C) by addition of 0.5% BL supplement or 1% WL supplement. The phytoadditives were not significant contributors to the productive parameters. The addition of BL and WL in laying hens’ diets significantly increased the total polyphenol content, and the zinc, lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations in the egg yolks. In regards to the oxidative stability parameters, a significant decrease in the concentrations of primary oxidation products formed in the egg yolk of experimental groups was seen, proving an efficient inhibition effect of the phytoadditives on peroxyl radical formation. A significant correlation was observed between primary oxidation products and total polyphenol content of the egg yolks, where zinc, lutein and zeaxanthin are the bioactive compounds that inhibit the formation of secondary oxidation products.

Using chicken antibodies IgY (purified from egg yolks) against mammalian cytochromes P450 and by means of cytochrome P450 marker substrates, we found for the first time the presence of hepatopancreatic cytochrome P450 in crayfishOrconectes limosus(an inducible cytochrome P450 2B-like enzyme) and we were able to detect and quantify cytochrome P450 1A1 in microsomes of human livers. Expression levels of cytochrome P450 1A1 in human livers constituted less than 0.6% of the total hepatic cytochrome P450 complement. The results obtained in our study are clear examples that chicken IgY are suitable for cytochrome P450 detection and quantification. Due to the evolutionary distance, chicken IgY reacts with more epitopes on a mammalian antigen, which gives an amplification of the signal. Moreover, this approach offers many advantages over common mammalian antibody production since chicken egg is an abundant source of antibodies (about 100 mg IgY/yolk) and the egg collection is a non-invasive technique. In the case of antibodies against cytochrome P450 2B4, we documented fast and steady production of highly specific immunoglobulins. Thus, chicken antibodies should be considered as a good alternative to and/or superior substitute for conventional polyclonal antibody produced in mammals.

Volatile Aldehydes

Food emulsions with high amounts of unsaturated fats, such as mayonnaise, are prone to lipid oxidation. In the food industry, typically accelerated shelf life tests are applied to assess the oxidative stability of different formulations. Here, the appearance of aldehydes at the so-called onset time, typically weeks, is considered a measure for oxidative stability of food emulsions, such as mayonnaise. To enable earlier assessment of compromised shelf-life, a predictive model for volatile off-flavor generation is developed. The model is based on the formation kinetics of hydroperoxides, which are early oxidation products and precursors of volatile aldehydes, responsible for off-flavor. Under accelerated shelf-life conditions (50 °C), hydroperoxide (LOOH) concentration over time shows a sigmoidal curvature followed by an acceleration phase that occurs at a LOOH-concentration between 38–50 mmol/kg, here interpreted as a critical LOOH concentration (CCLOOH). We hypothesize that the time at which CCLOOH was reached is related to the onset of aldehyde generation and that the characterization of the LOOH-generation curvature could be based on reaction kinetics in the first days. These hypotheses are tested using semi-empirical models to describe the autocatalytic character of hydroperoxide formation in combination with the CCLOOH. The Foubert function is selected as best describing the LOOH-curvature and is hence used to accurately predict onset of aldehyde generation, in most cases within several days of shelf-life. Furthermore, we find that the defining parameters of this model could be used to recognize antioxidant mechanisms at play.

Cornelian Cherry

The use of natural plant extracts in poultry feed could improve their productivity as well as the oxidative stability of stored derived meat. The roles of cornelian cherry extract (CCE) in growth, cecal microbes, and meat antioxidative markers of broiler chickens were evaluated. A total of 500 Ross 308 broiler chicks were fed diets supplemented with CCE (0, 50, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg of diet) for 38 days. The highest levels of weight gain and feed utilization were observed in a group fed 200 mg/kg of CCE. Maximum upregulation of glucose transporters—1 and 2 and sodium-dependent glucose transporter genes—were found in the group fed 200 mg/kg of CCE. Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium colonization increased as the CCE levels increased. The greatest upregulation of antioxidant genes (glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase) in breast meat was observed in groups fed CCE (200 and 400 mg/kg). Dietary CCE significantly delayed the lipid oxidation of breast meat compared with that of the control group. The total phenolic content, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrihydrzyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and reducing power in meat improved with higher levels of CCE. Dietary CCE improved the growth, performance of broilers, and meat antioxidant stability after 90 days of storage.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a supplementation diet for hens consisting of dried basil herb and flowers of calendula and dandelion for color, carotenoid content, iron-induced oxidative stability, and sensory properties of egg yolk compared with commercial pigment (control) and marigold flower. The plant parts were supplemented in diets at two levels: 1% and 3%. In response to dietary content, yolks from all diets differed in carotenoid profile (p < 0.001). The 3% supplementation level resulted in a similar total carotenoid content as the control (21.25 vs. 21.79 μg/g), but by 3-fold lower compared to the 3% marigold (66.95 μg/g). The tested plants did not achieve yolk color fan values as the control (13.47) or 3% marigold (11.47), and among them, calendula had the highest values (9.73). Despite the low carotenoid content in diets supplemented with basil herb, iron-induced malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration was low as for marigold (on average 106.83 vs. 92.68 ng/g after 250 min). The treatments differed in sensory color scores for fresh and hard-boiled yolks and flavor while other sensory properties were similar. In conclusion, the supplementation of plants in a hen diet may result in yolks containing carotenoids and other compounds showing a high antioxidant effect.
