A multi-approach peptidomic analysis of hen egg white reveals novel putative bioactive molecules and food markers of storage.

This study provided the largest inventory of peptides described in chicken egg while so far. In addition, it identified a number of protein fragments associated with hypothetical antihypertensive, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, antibiofilm, calcium-binding, antidiabetic, antithrombotic, adipogenic differentiating, stimulating/immunostimulating, hormonal, lipid-binding and cell adhesion-affecting activities. These results confirmed previous observations regarding functional characteristics of egg white unfractionated preparations or purified molecules, emphasizing the useful application of this raw material in human nutrition and cosmetics.
