Eggs are among the nutrient-rich food in the human daily diet. Knowledge of the essential element content of hen eggs is required for different purposes for the nutritional value for human consumption. Within the current study, content of elements in hen egg-white from 32 industrial poultry farms was investigated by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Eggs were sampled in the Markazi province (Iran), in autumn 2014. The results of our study show that, except about P, egg-whites produced in Markazi province are poor sources for supply essential trace element. Thus, nutritionists have focused their research on the impact of supplementing the diet of the hen with different levels of trace elements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
