Dear Susanne, 

I would think that as a minor (<1%) component in
eggs, analysis of carbohydrates is often omitted, like it seems to be
the case in the most recent British survey (see
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nutrient-analysis-of-eggs
[4]) 

A Google Scholar
(http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=carbohydrates+in+egg&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C22&as_sdtp
[5]=) search gives a few references. Take for example a look at this:


Hens Eggs: Their Basic and Applied Science edited by T. Yamamoto of
which some of pages are available s a Google book
(http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=fLmAYGxmTfIC&oi=fnd&pg=PA13&dq=carbohydrates+in+egg&ots=NyApJYSlZM&sig=9y47YlIDXKEIrO0ilWEcKhRQFo0
[6]) 

You will find some information in chapter B of this book. I
think the information there will give you the answers to your questions.


All the best, 

Anders

carbohydrate content of chicken eggs, in particular the polysaccharide
content. Analytical values seem to be available for sugars, but not for
polysaccharides.

where to find) analytical values on the content of mono+disaccharides
and polysaccharides in chicken egg, both for the whole egg, egg white
and egg yolk? 
> 2. We assume that it is reasonable to make the
assumption that mono+disaccharides in egg equals the total carbohydrate
content, in other words that polysaccharides is zero. Do you agree?

Thank you very much for any replies.
