Egg-Derived Lipids and Phospholipids as Emerging Functional Ingredients: Molecular Structure, Bioavailability, Metabolic Effects, and Food Applications
Egg yolk is often treated in the functional-food literature as a single, compositionally uniform fat depot, but this simplification obscures its actual structure: the yolk is a compartmentalized lipid system in which egg-yolk lipids are distributed between a triglyceride-dominant, low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) plasma f...
