Essential elements content of hen egg-white in Markazi province (Iran)

Abstract

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.

Assessment of Rice Marketed in Iran with Emphasis on Toxic and Essential Elements; Effect of Different Cooking Methods

“…On the other hand, the water rate used in these two methods can be effective in reducing the content of the elements (usually rinse cooking 4:1 versus traditional cooking 2:1) [18,28]. Today, the role and importance of essential elements in the health of humans and mammals are well known [29], so that the deficiency of any of the trace elements causes certain diseases such as dermatitis or gustatory decline (Zn deficiency) [30], anemia (Cu or Fe deficiency) [31],and cardiovascular disease (Mg deficiency) [32]. As regards, rice is an important food source and contains many essential elements for humans.…”

Essential elements in the different type of fruits, soil and water samples collected from Markazi province, Iran: a health risk assessment study

“…Therefore, an investigation is vital for the production of best-quality fruits for inhabitants. In the previous studies, only one study investigated the level of elements, such as Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Cr, calcium (Ca(, potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P) and selenium (Se), in hen egg-white in the Markazi province (Rezaei et al, 2016). However, no studies have been conducted to determine the level of essential elements in fruits produced in this area.…”
