“…Our results for the deposition of riboflavin in the yolk and albumen of chicken eggs in response to dietary riboflavin agree with those of Stamberg et al (1946) andPetersen et al (1947). At the time of their work, it was not known that the transfer of riboflavin to the egg was dependent upon riboflavin-binding protein.…”

“…Our interest is in the deposition of riboflavin in the egg and the role of riboflavin-binding protein in this process. Petersen et al (1947) showed that up to 30% of ingested riboflavin can be transferred to the egg by a laying hen. They also showed that the riboflavin content of eggs is proportional to dietary riboflavin over the range 0-5 mg of riboflavin/kg of feed and more-or-less independent of dietary riboflavin above that range.…”

The concentration of riboflavin and riboflavin-binding protein were determined in the plasma, egg yolk and albumen from hens fed a riboflavin-deficient diet (1.2 mg/kg) supplemented with 0, 1, 2, 3, 10 and 40 mg of riboflavin/kg. We observed that the deposition of riboflavin in egg yolk and albumen is dependent on dietary riboflavin and reaches half-maximal values at about 2 mg of supplemental riboflavin/kg. The maximal amount of riboflavin deposited in the yolk is limited stoichiometrically by the amount of riboflavin-binding protein, whereas the maximum amount of riboflavin deposited in albumen is limited by other factors before saturation occurs. The amount of riboflavin-binding protein in yolk and albumen is independent of dietary riboflavin. If there is a specific oocyte receptor for riboflavin-binding protein, it cannot distinguish between the apo and holo forms of the protein. Riboflavin-binding protein is about six times more concentrated in yolk than in plasma.

“…It was found that the most efficient utilization of riboflavin occurred when the birds were fed 3.62 ug per gram, but that maximum riboflavin concentration in the egg was not obtained until the birds received 5.00 ug per gram of ration. It was also noted by Stamberg, et al (1947), upon analyzing the meats of these experimental birds, that maximum body storage of riboflavin did not occur until a level of 5.00 ug per gram was fed.…”
