As part of a whole egg, egg white proteins are embedded in a lipid matrix that could modify their presentation to the immune system and their allergenic properties. The present study examines the impact of the main egg lipid components, triacylglycerides and phospholipids, in the early events of sensitization to egg. To this end, BALB/c mice were exposed intragastrically to egg lipids and egg lipid fractions, alone and in mixtures with egg white proteins, and Th2-promoting and proinflammatory effects were investigated. Our results highlight that the egg lipid fraction is responsible for Th2 adjuvant effects and point at a different influence of triacylglycerides and phospholipids on the bioavailability and immunomodulating properties of egg white proteins. While triacylglycerides promote type 2 responses at the small intestine level, phospholipids reduce the solubility of EW proteins and induce Th2 skewing in lymphoid intestinal tissues, which may have a direct impact on the development of egg allergy.

Introduction and objectives: It was urgent to explain the role of egg yolk allergen sensitization to the egg allergic population and we would evaluate the diagnostic value of allergen components in whole eggs, including egg white and egg yolk.Materials and methods: Firstly, we collected 99 positive and 21 negative sera against egg allergy. Then we used modified enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to survey specific IgE (sIgE) to all-proven and single component in eggs, Ovomucoid (Gal d 1), Ovalbumin (Gal d 2), Ovotransferrin (Gal d 3), Lysozyme C (Gal d 4), Serum Albumin (Gal d 5), and YGP42(Gal d 6) in allergic and non-allergic populations. Last but not least, we studied the sIgE reactivities to egg allergen components by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.Results: Among egg-allergic individuals, nearly 10% were sensitized to five of six egg allergen components, and the cross-reaction frequency between two egg yolk allergens with Gal d 1 was about 30% in the groups diagnosed with egg allergy or non-allergy. The best component-combination diagnosis in egg allergy of Gal d 1+ Gal d 6 demonstrated the largest area under curve (AUC) of 0.994.Conclusions: Our results suggested that there were individual differences in allergenicity of different egg allergen components, especially in the samples negative to egg allergy diagnosed but sensitive to egg yolk components. It was indicated that component resolved diagnosis of egg yolk improved the value for egg allergy management indispensably.

Proteins are essential constituents of all organisms; both egg white proteins and egg yolk are source of protein. The aim of this study was conducted to perform preliminary studies to analyses and compare egg white proteins and yolk proteins from different avian species (guineafowl, dwarf hens, local hen, Shami, turkey, duck, geese, partridge and quail) via or with SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate–Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis ). 18 Fresh eggs of different poultry species (guineafowl, dwarf hens, local hen, Shami, turkey, duck, geese, partridge and quail) were collected from various farms in the Sulaimani province. Data on egg proteins were analyzed using Statistical Xlstate used for dendrogram construction and PCA. The main egg white proteins were Ovomicin, Ovotransferrin, Ovalbumin, Flavoprotein, α- chymotrypsinogen, and Trypsin inhibitor. The main lipoproteins were Apovitellenin VI, Apovitellenin Vb, Apovitellenin V, Apovitellenin IIIa, Apovitellenin III, Apovitellin 7, B-Livetin, Apovitellenin IIa, Apovitellenin II, and Apovitellenin I. All these lipoproteins were observed in the nine birds species. The egg white proteins and yolk lipoproteins for nine species were examined. It can be concluded the large differences were found in a mount of egg white proteins and yolk lipoproteins of the nine species of birds.

Eggs are widely utilized because of their high nutrient value, coagulating, foaming, emulsifying and sometimes even colouring or flavouring facilities in food manufacturing. Production of processed egg products shows an increasing trend. Frozen products belong to first processing, their shelf life can increase up to 1 year. By freezing, a large reduction in microbial loss can be achieved. But different undesirable processes can occur. The effect of freezing on animal cells is highly dependent on freezing parameters. It has a different effect on egg subtituents. Egg yolk undergoes a gelation process while proteins can denaturate. In our study pasteurized liquid egg products (liquid egg white, liquid egg yolk and liquid whole egg) were frozen by dripping into liquid nitrogen. After that, a 14-day frozen storage experiment was carried out at -18°C. Before freezing and on the 1th, 7th and 14th days of storage experiment pH, dry matter content, colour and calorimetric properties (denaturation temperatures and enthalpy of denaturation) with differential scanning calorimetry were tested. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA (α = 0.05) was employed. In our experiment, we found no significant change in calorimetric properties of liquid egg white after freezing, but significant decreasing of enthalpy and denaturation temperatures of liquid egg yolk and liquid whole egg was identified. In contrast, frozen storage had a decreasing effect in all these products. Freezing caused a clearly visible colour change in LEW, a visible change in colour of LWE and a very clearly visible change in colour of LEY. In case of LEW and LEY changes increased to clearly visible 14 days. In conclusion, our results show that frozen storage had a greater effect on liquid egg products properties than freezing in liquid nitrogen.

Water-soluble proteins, mainly livetins (α-, β-, γ-), are present in hen egg yolk (Martin, Vandegaer & Cook, 1957). They represent 5% of fresh yolk solids (Saito, Martin & Cook, 1965). During the later stages of incubation the watersoluble proteins (water-soluble fraction, WSF) undergo a marked increase in relative proportion; after 15 days of incubation they form over 15% and at 18 days over 40% of yolk-residual solids (Saito et al. 1965). This proportional increase of the WSF is tentatively explained by the passage of egg-white proteins into yolk (Mclndoe, 1960; Saito et al. 1965). Indeed some egg-white proteins (ovalbumin, conalbumin and lysozyme) have been found in the yolk from 14 to 15 days of incubation (Saito & Martin, 1966; Carinci, Wegelin & Manzoli-Guidotti, 1966). At these stages ovalbumin is present in the yolk in such a great quantity that it is difficult to detect qualitative and quantitative changes of other proteins without resorting to further fractionations.

Four commercially pasteurized liquid egg products were individually inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Aeromonas hydrophila. They were unsalted whole egg blend, unsalted egg white, 5% NaCl whole egg blend, and 10% NaCl egg yolk. The inoculated samples and uninoculated controls were held at 2, 6.7, and 12.8°C (temperature abuse) for 14 d. Psychrotropic pathogen growth or survival risks in the unsalted and NaCl supplemented eggs were Y. enterocolitica > A. hydrophila > L. monocytogenes, and L. monocytogenes > Y. enterocolitica > A. hydrophila, respectively. Y. enterocolitica produced delayed (≥4 d) growth responses in unsalted eggs held at ≤6.7°C but was inhibited by ≥5% NaCl at all three holding temperatures. L. monocytogenes growth was prevented at ≤6.7°C in the unsalted and NaCl supplemented eggs. The organism rapidly increased in the temperature abused 5% NaCl whole egg blend. L. monocytogenes and A. hydrophila were inactivated in the unsalted egg white and NaCl supplemented eggs, respectively. Psychrotropic pathogen behavior was unaffected by the competitive growth of indigenous spoilage microflora including pseudomonads, Serratia spp., and NaCl tolerant micrococci. Properly refrigerated and hygienically handled pasteurized liquid eggs are microbiologically safe against a broad range of psychrotropic pathogen strains.

Abstract In this method 25 g of sample is preenriched in lactose broth, incubated, subcultured in selenite cystine broth and tetrathionate broth, incubated, and streaked on selective plates of brillant green agar, Salmonella Shigella agar, and bismuth sulfite agar. After incubation of the selective plates, suspicious colonies are transferred to triple sugar iron agar slants and incubated. Cultures arc identified as Salmonella or not Salmonella by biochemical and serological tests. Eleven of the 13 collaborators reported correct results. Evaluation of the results indicates that the method does detect and identify Salmonella from positive samples with a level of about 35 Salmonella cells/25 g of sample. The method is recommended for adoption as official, first action.
