Abstract

The content of the ovomucin gel obtained from the gel parts of stored thick white decreased during storage. Changes of the content of the ovomucin gel (A) was much larger than that of the ovomucin gel (B). The content of the ovomucin sol obtained from the sol parts of stored thick white increased during storage. The hexose and hexosamine contents of the ovomucin gel (B) decreased to about one half and the sialic acid content decreased to one eighth after 20 days storage at 30°C On the other hand, the carbonhydrate contents of the ovomucin sol (B) increased during storage and those obtained from sol parts of the stored (20 days) thick white were higher than those of the control ovomucin gel (B) obtained from the newly laid thick white. The amino acid composition of the ovomucin gel (B) and sol (B) did not show a great deal of change during storage. It is suggested from these results that the properties of the ovomucin gel (B) changed greatly during storage; one portion of the ovomucin gel (B), the carbohydrate-rich component, solubilized to the sol parts of stored thick white and the other portion, the carbohydrate-poor component, remained insoluble.
