Assessment of different proteases on degree of hydrolysis, functional properties and radical scavenging activities of salted duck egg white hydrolysate.

ABSTRACT: The impact of different proteases (alcalase, ficin, protamex, and neutrase) on the hydrolyzation, foaming and radical scavenging potency of salted duck egg white was studied. Egg white without protease hydrolyzation served as control. Regarding the degree of hydrolysis, neutrase and protamex were more capable of hydrolyzing duck egg white than the others. The ?-amino nitrogen content in the egg whites was highly correlated with hydrolysis ability of the enzymes, and it had gradually increased with curing. Foam stability, capacity and emulsion stability were significantly influenced by proteases and curing period. However, the solubility of the egg white hydrolysate was not much affected by curing but showed significant differences between hydrolyzed and control samples. Emulsion stability of hydrolysate decreased with curing times. Neutrase and alcalase hydrolysates gave the best foaming and emulsion properties. Moreover, neutrase and protamex hydrolysates showed good scavenging potency against the DPPH radicals, hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and ferrous ion radicals. Overall, the hydrolysate from neutrase hydrolyzed duck egg white showed the highest foaming and radical scavenging capacities among the other hydrolysis treatments in this study.

Project description:The egg-laying rate is an important indicator for evaluating fertility of poultry. In order to better understand the laying mechanism of Muscovy ducks, gene expression profiles and pathways of ovarian tissues in high- and low-laying black (BH and BL) and white Muscovy ducks (WH and WL) during the peak production period were performed by using RNA-seq. The total number of reads produced for each ovarian sample ranged from 44,344,070 to 47,963,328. A total of 113, 619 and 87 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in BH-vs-WH, BL-vs-BH and BL-vs-WL, respectively. Among them, 54, 356 and 49 genes were up regulated and 59, 263 and 38 genes were down regulated. In addition, there were only 10 up-regulated genes in WL-vs-WH. In the comparison of DEGs in black and white Muscovy ducks, two co-expressed DEG genes were detected between BH-vs-WH and BL-vs-WL and seven DEGs were co-expressed between BL-vs-BH and WL-vs-WH. The RNA-Seq data were confirmed to be reliable by qPCR. Numerous DEGs known to be involved in ovarian development were identified, including TGFβ2, NGFR, CEBPD, CPEB2, POSTN, SMOC1, FGF18, EFNA5 and SDC4. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations indicated that DEGs related to ovarian development were mainly enriched in biological processes of "circadian sleep/wake cycle process," "negative regulation of transforming growth factor-β secretion," "positive regulation of calcium ion transport" in BH-vs-WH and "cell surface receptor signaling pathway," "Notch signaling pathway" and "calcium ion transport" in BL-vs-BH. Besides, "steroid biosynthetic process," "granulosa cell development" and "egg coat formation" were mainly enriched in BL-vs-WL and "reproduction," "MAPK cascade" and "mitotic cell cycle" were mainly enriched in WL-vs-WH. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and ovarian steroidogenesis were the most enriched in Muscovy duck ovary transcriptome data. This work highlights potential genes and pathways that may affect ovarian development in Muscovy duck.

Project description:Though nutritional, the remaining separated duck egg white in duck egg processing plants presents challenges for its transportation and use, as it spoils easily and has a strong odor. Uses for the excess egg white are of paramount concern for agricultural resource reuse. The purpose of this study was to increase its value and use efficiency. Duck egg white was mixed with sodium hydroxide to produce translucent alkali-induced egg white jelly similar to that in preserved egg whites. To develop a heatable translucent egg white jelly, their physiochemical properties and thermal stabilities were investigated. A gel prepared with 150 mM sodium hydroxide at 25°C had optimal bloom strength and the densest microstructure. Storing the jelly at 5°C helped maintain its disulfide bonds and delayed liquefaction. Although heating decreased its bloom strength and total disulfide bond content as temperature increased (P < 0.05), scanning electron microscopy of the heated jelly revealed that the protein network structure was denser than that of unheated jelly. Heating caused parts of the structure to shrink and even dehydrate, leading to a wrinkled surface. However, no signs of liquefaction or collapse were observed, and the free alkali released during heating was lower than that from the white of existing preserved eggs. These results confirmed the thermal stability of the jelly and its potential to be served hot or used in food processing. Furthermore, in addition to disguising the odor and special flavor attributable to the alkaline treatment, adding ginger juice or turmeric to the preparation yielded higher bloom strength, resulted in lower free alkalinity, and delayed liquefaction, thus improving the jelly's thermal stability. Like preserved eggs on the market that can be served in hot congee, the proposed egg white jelly is rich in proteins and suitable for hot or instant serving. These findings may help address the problem of excessive remaining duck egg white created during food processing by diversifying duck egg processing and boosting its value.
