Abstract

ABSTRACTMethods were examined to fix hen's egg yolk while retaining its original sol structure and to elucidate the fine structure of fresh yolk by using the freeze‐cutting fixation method with liquid nitrogen. In fresh native yolk, histological differences were observed in the yolk spheres in each layer and latebra part. These spheres were closely packed in the vitelline membrane, with various sizes and shapes. Protein granules with high electron density were noted in the yolk sphere and their distribution and shape differed between the outer and inner layers.
