Comparison of amino acids profile and antioxidant activities between edible bird nest and chicken egg
Edible bird’s nest (EBN) and eggs are sources of high quality protein. The objectives of this study were to compare the amino acid profile between EBN and eggs to determine the differences in nutrition composition and antioxidant properties. Amino acid profile and antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABT...

| description | Edible bird’s nest (EBN) and eggs are sources of high quality protein. The objectives of this study were to compare the
amino acid profile between EBN and eggs to determine the differences in nutrition composition and antioxidant properties.
Amino acid profile and antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABTS and FRAP) of four samples, raw EBN (EBNraw), EBN
hydrolysates (EBNh), commercial chicken egg (Eggcomm) and free range chicken egg (EggFR) were determined and correlated
with one another. It was found that EBN
raw and EBNh have significantly higher (p<0.05) DPPH and ABTS activities compared
to Eggcomm and EggFR, whereas Eggcomm and EggFR have significantly higher (p<0.05) FRAP activities compared to EBNraw
and EBNh. Amino acid profile analysis showed that Eggcomm and EggFR have significantly higher (p<0.05) methionine, cysteine,
lysine and isoleucine content compared to EBNraw and EBNh. Histidine, proline, phenylalanine and tryptophan in EBN were
found to have significant (p<0.01) positive correlation with DPPH and ABTS antioxidant activities assays, while methionine
and cysteine in chicken eggs have significant (p<0.01) positive correlation with FRAP activity. In conclusion, both EBN and
chicken eggs are good sources of proteins and essential amino acids, but EBN showed higher antioxidant activities. |
