Q.2
Which of the following egg proteins are responsible for its heat setting property and Sensory attributes
EXPLANATION
Poultry & Egg Processing: Egg Quality, Ovalbumin/Conalbumin Gelation & Poultry Carcass Dressing
- Functional Egg White Proteins in Heat Gelation:
- Gel-Forming Proteins:
- Ovalbumin ($54\%$): Principal phosphoglycoprotein, undergoes thermal denaturation ($T_m \approx 84^\circ\text{C}$) forming irreversible elastic three-dimensional gel networks.
- Conalbumin / Ovotransferrin ($12\%$): Highly heat-sensitive iron-binding protein that denatures at lower temperatures ($T_m \approx 61^\circ\text{C}$), initiating early heat-setting matrix formation.
- Conclusion: Ovalbumin and conalbumin (Option 2).
Correct option: (2) Ovalbumin and conalbumin
