Bioactive fractions of eggs for human and animal health
Résumé
Hen's eggs provide nutrients to the embryonic bird and protect it physically and microbiologically. Apart the physical barrier represented by shell, the constituents that eggs contains present biological functions vital for the protection of the embryonic bird. Thses constituents are consequently potential sources of bioactive fractions exploitable for medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical and biotechnological applications.
