Dear all,
We have received a question on the carbohydrate
content of chicken eggs, in particular the polysaccharide content. Analytical
values seem to be available for sugars, but not for polysaccharides.
My questions are:
1. Does anyone have (or know 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.
With kind regards,
Susanne
