Metabolomics Analysis Reveals Characteristic Functional Components in Pigeon Eggs.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to identify the characteristic functional components of pigeon eggs and the differences among pigeon, chicken, and quail eggs. We analyzed the metabolite profiles of three kinds of eggs using an untargeted metabolomics-based approach to better understand the differences in metabolites among pigeon, chicken, and quail eggs. Then, we quantitatively validated the differences in abundance of partial metabolites through a targeted metabolomics-based approach. A total of 692 metabolites were identified in the three types of eggs. A total of 263 significantly differentially abundant metabolites were found between pigeon eggs and chicken eggs, and 263 significantly differentially abundant metabolites were found between pigeon eggs and quail eggs. The metabolites that were significantly mo
