IgY(Immunoglobulin Yolk) is a specific antibody in egg yolk, and it protects human body from virus and antigen. There are a lot of egg yolk components such as lipoprotein and protein. To separate IgY, HPLC(High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and precipitation were used in a batch mode and SMB(Simulated Moving Bed) was adopted for continuous purification of yolk proteins. IgY and other proteins in yolk were separated by using three-zone SMB chromatography. Before performing SMB experiments, batch chromatography and PIM(pulse input method) were performed to find operation parameters and adsorption isotherms. The results of batch chromatography were compared with simulated results using Aspen chromatography. To find the most suitable separation condition in SMB chromatography, simulations in $m_2$-$m_3$ plane on the triangle theory were carried out. $m_2$ = 0.18, $m_3$ = 1.0 and ${\Delta}$t = 419 s are the best conditions for the highest purity of IgY. With this operating parameters(flow rate in three zone and switching time), the purity of raffinate results in 98.39% from Aspen chromatography simulation. Most of the simulation reached steadystate within second recycle.

The study was performed to investigate microbial and physicochemical properties of domestic liquid eggs during cold storage. The liquid eggs used in the experiment were whole liquid, liquid egg yolks, and liquid egg whites. All samples were analyzed in summer and winter. The aerobic microorganisms were 1,270-83,300 CFU/g from non-sterilized liquid eggs produced in summer and their numbers increased from those produced in winter (ND, ~4,330 CFU/g). Total coliforms were not observed in non-sterilized whole liquid and non-sterilized liquid egg yolk regardless of season. Total coliforms from nonsterilized products were not detected in liquid egg whites during cold storage. Salmonella sp. was not observed in any of the liquid egg products. However, Pseudomonas sp., Pseudomonas geezennei, Pseudomonas otitidis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were identified by 16S rRNA from non-sterilized whole liquid eggs produced in summer. The pH and viscosity of whole liquid eggs and liquid egg whites were not different between the sterilized and non-sterilized treatments during cold storage. These results suggest that managing cross-contamination is necessary when non-sterilized liquid eggs are processed in summer.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) extracted from egg yolk on the oxidation of tocopherol-stripped canola oil and its browning, as well as their content changes during 12 hr of heating at $180^{\circ}C$. PC and/ or PE contents in the oil were measured at 200, 500, 1,000, or 2,000 ppm. PL contents in the oil and oil browning were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometry, respectively. The oil oxidation was evaluated by the combination of fatty acid composition, conjugated dienoic acid content, and p-anisidine value. PC was degraded at a slower rate than PE during heating and the co-presence of PE reduced its rate of degradation. PE increased oil browning more profoundly than PC did. PC significantly reduced oil oxidation during heating; however, we noted a possible antagonism between PE and PC in reducing the oil oxidation. Egg yolk PC was a better antioxidant in oil oxidation during heating.

The objective of this study is to establish the shelf life of non-pasteurized whole egg, egg yolk and egg white liquid. Each sample was stored for two weeks at $5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, and $25^{\circ}C$, and then sensory, microbial, and physicochemical tests were performed periodically. The estimation of shelf life was based on the microbial standards of total viable counts and coliforms. The chemical properties highly correlated with the sensory evaluation were also used. Our results showed that the shelf life was the most influenced by microbial properties. Exceptionally, however, whole egg and white liquid stored at $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ with limited bacterial growth were affected by chemical property. The shelf life of the three non-pasteurized liquids was calculated to be less than one day at over $15^{\circ}C$. At $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$, the shelf life was calculated to be 5 d and 1 d for egg yolk liquid, 5 d and 5 d for egg white, and 7 d and 5 d for whole egg, respectively. Therefore, it is advisable to establish reasonable shelf life in the more specific manner based on consideration of these findings.

To separate IgY, HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and precipitation were used in a batch mode and SMB (Simulated Moving Bed) was adopted for continuous purification of yolk proteins. IgY and other proteins in yolk were separated by using three-zone and four-zone SMB chromatography. Before performing SMB experiments, batch chromatography simulation parameters and adsorption isotherms were obtained. The parameters of batch chromatography were used to simulate SMB using Aspen chromatography. To compare three-zone and four-zone SMB chromatography, simulations in $m_2-m_3$ plane on the triangle theory were carried out. In terms of concentration and purity of both IgY and other lipoproteins, 3-zone SMB process is considered as ideal at the vertex of triangle ($m_2$, $m_3$=0.1, 1.1). 4-zone SMB yields the highest IgY purity at the coordinate ($m_2$, $m_3$=0.06, 0.5), which is the pure raffinate region. In 3-zone SMB without recycle, other lipoproteins in extract are largely affected in purity by small shift from the vertex of triangle ($m_2$, $m_3$=0.1, 1.1).

On account of the recent improvement in performance of brown layers, the market share taken by brown layers has increased to about 50% in the world and to almost 100% in Korea. There are several other reasons why the industry has moved from white to brown, such as : brown layers are used to be more robust, more docile and easier to manage ; e brown layers are easier to sex at the hatchery ; brown layers lay less second grade eggs, due to a better shell Quality ; brown eggs seem to be more attractive than white ; and a clear consumer preference, thus a better price per egg. More recently, however, the trend towards brown eggs has been slowing down. The main reasons for this lie in that white layers can still produce an egg at a lower cost and that white eggs have better de-shelling properties, easier candling and higher yolk and solid content of the liquid egg which are benefits for egg processing industry. Although the performance of the brown layers is still improving, there are increasing opinions in the poultry industry that the market portion of white layers should be increased based on the following reasons, such as : shell color has no effect on the nutritive value of eggs ; . brown layers consume more feed ; the percentage of meat spots is significantly higher in brown eggs than in white eggs ; . brown layers are less efficient in the second cycle of production than in the first ; white layers are more resistant to the disease of fowl typhoid. In order to increase the market share of white layers in Korea, it may be needed to enlighten the consumers not to prefer the brown and large eggs and to inform the excellencies of white eggs widely.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary natural mineral liquid complex on egg production and characteristics in laying hens. A total of two hundreds fifty two, 63-weeks-old, Hy-line brown commercial layers were used for 6 weeks. Seven dietary treatments included CON (Control), C1-M0.25 (CON diet+1% chitosan+0.25% natural mineral complex), C1-M0.5 (CON diet+1% chitosan+0.50% natural mineral complex), C2-M0.25 (CON diet+2% chitosan+0.25% natural mineral complex), C2-M0.50 (CON diet+2% chitosan+0.50% natural mineral complex), C3-M0.25 (CON diet+ 3% chitosan+0.25% natural mineral complex) and C3-M0.50 (CON diet+3% chitosan+0.50% natural mineral complex). For overall period, egg production, egg shall breaking strength, haugh unit, K and Fe concentrations of blood and Fe concentration of yolk were improved in additive natural mineral treatments compared to control treatment(P<0.05). K and Fe concentrations of blood and Fe concentration of yolk were increased in added 0.5% mineral treatment compared to added 0.25% mineral treatment(P<0.05). Additive 3% chitosan + 0.5% mineral treatments were improved on egg Production and egg shall breaking strength in laying hens(P<0.05). In conclusion, chitosan and natural mineral complex supplementation in lay hens diet improved egg oduction, egg all strength and mineral concentrations of blood and yolk.

This study was carried out to obtain informations regarding the effect of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in the LEY (lactoseegg yolk) diluent according to incubation time in 5 ml maxi-straw and the effects of freezing rate, thawing temperature and thawing time in the LEN (lactose-egg yolk and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) diluent on acrosome morphology and motility of frozen-thawed boar sperm. The study showed that the LEN diluent was higher post-thaw NAR (normal apical ridge) acrosome than the LEY diluent for 0.5 h incubation at 37$^{\circ}C$. However, there were no differences between the LEN and LEY diluents on post-thaw sperm motility according to incubation time. The straws frozen from 5.0 cm (20$^{\circ}C$/min) to 17.0 cm (1$^{\circ}C$/min) above the liquid nitrogen surface did not show any significant differences on post-thaw sperm motility. However, the straws frozen above 5.0 cm from the liquid nitrogen surface were higher NAR acrosome than those frozen above 17.0 cm. The post-thaw percentages of motile sperm and NAR acrosome were significantly higher (p<0.05) for the maxi-straws submerged for 40 or 45 sec in a 52$^{\circ}C$ water bath than for 30, 35, 50 or 55 sec. The mean sample temperatures of maxi-straws after 40 or 45 sec submersion were 20.7 or 26.4$^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, the sample temperature of the thawed semen was very important for post-thaw sperm survival in the LEN diluent of 5 ml maxi-straw. When the temperature of the thawed semen was 20.7$^{\circ}C$, the percentages of motile sperm and NAR acrosome were highest.

The percentages of sperm motility and normal acrosome on the liquid boar semen diluted and preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ with lactose hydrate, egg yolk and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (LEN) diluent were significant differences according to preservation day and incubation time, respectively. The sperm motility steadily declined from 96.9% at 0.5 h incubation to 78.8% at 6 h incubation at 1 day of preservation. However, the sperm motility rapidly declined after 4 day of preservation during incubation. The normal acrosome steadily declined from 93.3% at 0.5 h incubation to 73.8% at 6 h incubation at 1 day of preservation. However, the normal acrosome rapidly declined after 3 day of preservation during incubation. The rates of sperm penetration and polyspermy were higher in 5 and $10{\times}10^6$ sperm/ml than in 0.2 and $1{\times}10^6$ sperm/ml. Mean numbers of sperm in penetrated oocyte were highest in $10{\times}10^6$ sperm/ml compared with other sperm concentrations. The rates of blastocysts from the cleaved oocytes (2-4 cell stage) were highest in $1{\times}10^6$sperm/ml compared with other sperm concentrations. In conclusion, we found out that liquid boar sperm stored at $4^{\circ}C$ could be used for in vitro fertilization of pig oocytes matured in vitro. Also, we recommend $1{\times}10^6$sperm/ml concentration for in vitro fertilization of pig oocytes.
