The purpose of this paper is to examine the fatty acid profile (FA) of egg yolk and albumen in cemani and white leghorn chickens. Cemani and white leghorn chickens were given a commercial feed of 110 g/head/day, and drinking water was given ad libitum. Two fresh eggs from each hen were used in this study to examine egg yolk and albumen fatty acids by gas chromatography. The data obtained were analyzed statistically with an independent sample T-test. The results showed that the FA profiles of egg yolk and albumen were not significantly different (P>0.05) for the parameters of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from chicken. Cemani and white leghorn chickens, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) are found in more amounts than SFA and PUFA in egg yolks and albumen. It can be concluded that the FA profiles of cemani and white leghorn chickens are almost the same.Read More
