The Hen's egg is widely used in many processed foods as an ingredient and is one of the most prevalent food allergens in children. To detect egg proteins in processed foods, we developed a competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ciELISA) using an anti-ovomucoid (OM) antibody, which was produced by immunization of rabbits with OM, the most heat-stable component of the egg proteins. The detection limit of this quantitative assay system was 30 ng/mL. Cross-reactivity of the anti-OM antibody toward OM, ovalbumin, skim milk, casein, whey protein isolate, and isolated soy protein was 100, 0.4, 0.2, 0.04, 0, and 0%, respectively. In the spike test of egg white powder in milk replacer, commercial sausage, and in-house sausage, the assay recoveries ($mean{\pm}SD$) were $129{\pm}13.7%$, $73.9{\pm}12.5%$, and $65.5{\pm}13.6%$, respectively. When egg white in a commercial crab meat analog and sausage was determined by ciELISA, the assay recovery was found to be 108% and 127%, respectively. The combined results of this study indicate that this novel ciELISA for OM detection could be applied for the quantification of hen's egg proteins in processed foods.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation for the reduction of an egg allergy in a cake with the irradiated egg white. A white layer cake was manufactured including 10- or 20-kGy-irradiated egg white. Enzyme-Iinked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) with immunoglobulin (Ig) E from egg-allergic patient and with rabbit anti-ovalbumin (OVA) IgG were used to identify and quantify native OVA in the samples. Concentrations of native OVA detected by IgE and IgG in the control were $432.88{\mu}g/g$ sanple and $375.46{\mu}g/g$ sample, respectively. However, native OVA in white layer cake prepared with 10- and 20-kGy-irradiated egg white were detected at low concentrations detected by IgE to 14.27 and $8.78{\mu}g/g$ sample, respectively. Whereas, IgG recognized OVA more often in 10- and 20-kGy samples than in control. The result appear to suggest that irradiating egg white might reduce ie allergenicity by the conformational change of OVA. Therefore, gamma irradiation could utilize reduce an egg allergy.

Egg white powders (EWPs) were produced after pH adjustment (PH 6-9) of fresh egg white, followed by spray-drying, and foaming and gelling properties of EWPs were examined. EWP produced after pH adjustment to 6.5 (EWP-6.5) resulted in significantly higher foaming ability and gel hardness than control and other pH-adjusted EWP. Significant increases in surface -SH content and surface hydrophobicity of EWP-6.5 coincided with improved foaming ability and gel hardness. Significantly higher consistency index for reconstituted EWP-6.5 indicates unfolding of egg white protein was substantially increased in EWP-6.5. Decreased a-helix content in EWP-6.5 was confirmed by circular dichroism spectral analysis. These results indicate pH adjustment prior to spray-drying leads to structural changes in egg white proteins, significantly affecting major functionalities of EWP.

This dissertation was aimed to study the stability of egg foams and the quality of rice yackwa added with egg foams. Because of the difference of protein composion between rice flour and wheat flour, yackwa made from rice powder turned out to be harder and less raised. Egg foams were added to the rice flour to help raise the dough to a great extent and make it softer when frying. The smaples were prepared differently: in the finess of rice flour (100, 140 mesh), the kinds of egg foams (whole egg, egg white), and the content of egg foams (40 g, 60 g), respectively. The stability of egg foams was determined by an Optical microscope, the hardness of rice yackwa was examined by Instron, the structure by Scanning Electron Microscope, the color by Hunter's Colorimeter, and the sensory evaluation was also made. The resluts are as knows: The most stable egg white foam and whole egg foam were the 2 and 3 min. whipped ones, respectively. In the case of rice yackwa, which was made from 140 mesh rice flour and 60 g of whole egg, the hardness and the structure were similar to those of wheat yackm. It was very tasty and most preferred. As a whole, the color of rice yackwa was lighter man mat of wheat yackwa.

냉동 저장온도에서 비동결 상태로 액란을 저장할 수 있는 방법을 연구하기 위하여 cryoprotectants를 첨가하거나 papain으로 처리하여 $-15^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 품질변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. Cryoprotectants로는 제품의 향미를 고려하여 fructose와 glucose를 45 : 55로 혼합하여 사용하는 것이 좋고, whole egg나 난황을 $-15^{\circ}C$에서 비동결 상태로 저장하는데 필요한 cryoprotectants의 농도는 각각 70.3%와 45.2%이었다. 그리고 액란에 cryoprotectants를 첨가하여 저장하면 gel화를 효과적으로 방지할수 있었으며, gel화가 발생한 액란에서는 consistency의 증가, 단백질 침전도의 증가 및 미세구조의 파괴를 볼수 있었다. 액란에 0.15%.papain을 처리한 후 냉동온도에서 저장하면 액란의 gel화를 상당히 방지할 수 있었다.

Demonstration of the highly positive correlation between blood cholestrol levels and heart disease has made consumers wary of the fats in meat, milk and eggs. The egg, as perhaps the single largest common source of cholesterol, has been cited by many members of the medical and scientific world as a food contributing to heart disease. In light of decreasing per capita egg consumption and continuing dietary egg cholesterol controversy, many researchers have focused their efforts on egg nutrition. The results reported, however, are often contradictory. In spite of the disputable scientific evidence, the egg has been labelled (erroneously) as a highly cholesterogenic food. The objective of this presentation is to present a general picture of the problem and discuss our laboratory findings relevant to the problem. An isotope technique was utilized to incorporate $^{14}C$-cholesterol into egg yolk lipoproteins and study the metabolic fate of dietary ovo-cholesterol in rats. Two hundred and fifty micro-curies of 4-$^{14}C$-cholesterol, emulsified in corn oil, were orally administered to five Single Comb White Leghorn laying hens. Eggs were collected, hard-boiled, and the hot dried egg yolk powder (HEY) was prepared. Total radioactivity excreted via feces was determined. The rat groups fed egg yolk powder excreted more than 95% of the ingested ovo-cholesterol, whereas the rat chow group excreted only 47%. No difference was observed between HEY and CEY treatments. Therefore, an unknown lipid factor present in egg folk accelerates cholesterol turnover rate and excretion via feces.

This study was designed to compare content and composition of fatty acid in egg yolk oil among general eggs from chicken, quail, duck. We also compared those of general and functional chicken egg. Fatty acids were determined by GC method and the results were as follows: Palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and timnodonic acid were identified in egg of chicken, quail and duck. The major fatty acid was oleic acid and palmitic acid in three kinds of eggs. Arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were analyzed in egg of quail , but no in chicken. Monounsaturaterd fatty acid (MUFA) was higher in egg yolk oil of chicken and quail. Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) was higher in duck egg. Ginseng egg had significantly higher palmitic acid and oleic acid lower than general chicken egg. Gamgoal egg had lower palmitic acid and oleic acid, and higher palmitoleic acid and stearic acid than general chiekcn egg. The content of oleic acid was lower in DHA egg than in general chiecken egg, but arachidonic acid was detected only in DHA egg. Ginseng egg had the highest content of saturated fatty acid among chicken eggs. The content of MUFA acid was the highest in gamgoal egg and general chicken egg. DHA egg had the most amount of PUFA among all chicken egg.

Egg yolk is widely used to extract lecithin, which is utilized in the food and cosmetics industry. After lecithin is removed, the rest of egg yolk is generated as a by-product. Thus, it is necessary to properly utilize it. In this study, egg yolk protein extracts were produced using ethanol (EYE-E) and water (EYE-W). Their antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects were then evaluated. Antioxidant activities of EYE-E and EYE-W were determined using cellular antioxidant capacity (CAC) assay and comet assay. EYE-E and EYE-W showed significant (p<0.05) scavenging effects on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a dose dependent manner. At a concentration of 50 ㎍/mL, EYE-W showed higher (p<0.05) antioxidant activity than EYE-E. EYE-E and EYE-W also exhibited protective effects against DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. After treatment with EYE-E and EYE-W, DNA damage level of 48.7% due to oxidative stress was decreased to 36.2% and 31.8% levels, respectively. In addition, EYE-E and EYE-W showed immunomodulatory effects by regulating Th1 cytokines (TNF-α and IL-2) and Th2 cytokines (IL-10 and IL-4) in Balb/c mouse splenocytes. These data suggest that EYE-E and EYE-W could be used as functional food ingredients with excellent antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities in the food industry.

In recent years, the consumption of livestock products were markedly decreased by awareness of world-widely occurred diseases including mad cow disease, Foot and mouth disease, Hog cholera, and Poultry Influenza virus. the consumers ara also wanting to have highly safe food such as organic animal products because of concerning about residual of antibiotics in animal products. However, disease control and impairment of productivity are the major problem in organic animal production. On these points of view, the present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of 1% or 2% of dietary probiotics fortified with various minerals on improvement of egg production and egg quality in old lay6r feeding low quality feed mainly composed of food waste, sesame meal, and rice bran. After 4 weeks of experimental feeding, the diameter of spreading of egg white was clearly decreased from 11.2cm of control eggs to 10.5m and 10.1m in 1% and 2% treatment group eggs, respectively. The color of egg yolk was 9.3 in control eggs but remarkably increased in treatment groups showing 10.1~10.2. Egg production was 75.8% in control layers but significantly increased to 79.8% of 1% treatment group and 82.9% of 2% treatment group layers. Egg weights (C : 66.3g, 1% : 73.2g, and 2% : 76.7g) and egg shell thickness (C : 0.33mm, 1% : 0.35mm and 2% : 0.36mm) were also increased by the addition of 1% or 2% of probiotics when compared to those of control group eggs. All together, it has been suggested that dietary addition of probiotics fortified with various minerals can improve the egg quality and egg production in layer's productivities by the recycling of organic waste resources such as food waste and agricultural by-products.
