By focusing on fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, and avoiding ultra-processed foods, Mills says over time, the eating pattern can result in lower inflammation, which can ...
Take a closer look at the pros and cons of eating whole eggs (yolk and all!) to find out what's behind egg's bad reputation and whether you're missing out on some key nutrients.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now classifies eggs as a “healthy, nutrient-dense" food, according to a new proposed rule. Registered dietitians react to the change.
Egg white consists primarily of about 90% water into which about 10% proteins (including albumins, mucoproteins, and globulins) are dissolved. Unlike the yolk, which is high in lipids (fats), egg white contains almost no fat, and carbohydrate content is less than 1%. Egg whites contain about 56% of the protein in the egg.
Avidin is a tetrameric biotin-binding protein produced in the oviducts of birds, reptiles and amphibians and deposited in the whites of their eggs. Dimeric members of the avidin family are also found in some bacteria. [1] In chicken egg white, avidin makes up approximately 0.05% of total protein (approximately 1800 μg per egg).
Ovotransferrin (conalbumin) is a glycoprotein of egg white albumen. [1] Egg white albumen is composed of multiple proteins, of which ovotransferrin is the most heat reliable. It has a molecular weight of 76,000 daltons and contains about 700 amino acids. Ovotransferrin makes up approximately 13% of egg albumen (in contrast to ovalbumin, which ...

Ovomucin is a glycoprotein found mainly in egg whites, as well as in the chalaza and vitelline membrane. The protein makes up around 2-4% of the protein content of egg whites; like other members of the mucin protein family, ovomucin confers gel-like properties. It is composed of two subunits, alpha-ovomucin (MUC5B) and beta-ovomucin (MUC6), of ...
