Front face fluorescence spectroscopy as a tool for comparison of aromatic amino acids, nucleic acids, vitamin A and FMRP containing in different egg types

Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to determine contents of amino acids, nucleic acids, Maillard reaction products and vitamin A in whites and yolks of eggs from hens, geese, ducks and quail. The fluorescence spectra obtained varied between egg types and allowed the eggs to be grouped and differentiated from each other on the basis of their composition.
