Abstract

Functional foods can provide a positive impact on the prevention of diseases and/or improve human health as well as their nutritional features. Egg is defined as 'natural functional food' with its superior biological structures; proteins, vitamins and minerals, natural active components. In this study, egg is the most common natural functional food of animal origin and its components and functional properties have been reviewed

Fonksiyonel Gıda Olarak Yumurta: Bileşenleri ve Fonksiyonel Özellikleri

Abstract

Fonksiyonel gıdalar, bilinen besleyici etkilerinin yanı sıra insan sağlığının iyileştirmede ve/veya hastalıkların engellenmesi üzerinde olumlu etkiler sağlayabilen ürünlerdir. Yapılarında bulundurdukları üstün biyolojik protein, vitamin ve mineraller, doğal aktif bileşenleriyle yumurta ‘doğal fonksiyonel gıda’ olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışmada hayvansal kaynaklı en yaygın fonksiyonel doğal gıda olan yumurta ve yumurta bileşenleri, fonksiyonel özellikleri hakkında bilgiler derlenmiştir

Keywords
