AngiochefEgg
Eggs are a versatile staple and a complete protein, supplying all the essential amino acids. They contain choline and the yolk carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, and they are a source of vitamin B12, which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Boil, poach, scramble, or fry them, fold them into omelettes and frittatas, or use them to bind and enrich batters and doughs.
Polyols
SorbitolNot a source
Source: Not a source of sorbitol or excess fructose (structural classification)
What this means
This is egg's own sorbitol content, not a recipe amount. Sorbitol is a polyol — a type of sugar alcohol — calculated from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.20 g threshold (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
Sugars
Total fructoseNot yet analysed
Excess fructoseNot a source
Source: Not a source of excess fructose (structural classification); total fructose not measured
What this means
These are egg's own fructose figures, not a recipe amount. Total fructose is how much fructose the food contains. Excess fructose is fructose minus glucose, counted only when positive, since glucose helps the body absorb fructose — it is the figure behind the "Low fructose" filter and the recipe figures. When measured, both come from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.40 g threshold of excess fructose (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
