Cholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol content of chicken egg yolk as affected by the cholecalciferol content of feedP Mattila
Agricultural Research Centre of Finland, FIN 316 000, Jokioinen, Finland
J Agric Food Chem 47:4089-92. 1999..According to the present study, there was strong positive correlation between cholecalciferol content in poultry feed and cholecalciferol (r = 0. 995) and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (r = 0.941) content in egg yolk...
Phenolic acids in berries, fruits, and beveragesPirjo Mattila

Effect of vitamin D2- and D3-enriched diets on egg vitamin D content, production, and bird condition during an entire production periodP Mattila
MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Food Research, FIN 31600 Jokioinen, Finland
Poult Sci 83:433-40. 2004..However, especially vitamin D3 improved bone strength (P < 0.05). Autopsy at the end of the experiment indicated no detrimental accumulation of calcium in the kidneys, liver, heart, muscles, or lungs...
Effect of cholecalciferol-enriched hen feed on egg qualityPirjo Mattila
Food Research, MTT Agrifood Research Finland, FIN 31600 Jokioinen, Finland
J Agric Food Chem 51:283-7. 2003..Moreover, the cholecalciferol levels used in this study appeared not to affect eggshell strength or to be harmful for hens...
Basic composition and amino acid contents of mushrooms cultivated in FinlandPirjo Mattila
MTT Agrifood Research Finland, FIN 31600 Jokioinen, Finland
J Agric Food Chem 50:6419-22. 2002..The mean nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor analyzed in the present study was 4.7 +/- 0.21. When using this factor, a very good estimation of protein contents could be obtained for the main species of mushrooms cultivated in Finland...
Determination of free and total phenolic acids in plant-derived foods by HPLC with diode-array detectionPirjo Mattila
MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Food Research, ET talo, 31600 Jokioinen, Finland
J Agric Food Chem 50:3660-7. 2002..Recovery tests of phenolic acids were performed for every hydrolysis condition using several samples. Recoveries were generally good (mean >90%) with the exceptions of gallic acid and, in some cases, caffeic acid samples...

J Agric Food Chem 48:1229-33. 2000..2 and 0.3 ng/injection by EC detection. Results derived from the two detection systems were generally similar. However, although EC detector was 20-fold more sensitive, the selectivity was, in some cases, poorer than that of DAD...
Effect of different vitamin D supplementations in poultry feed on vitamin D content of eggs and chicken meatPirjo H Mattila
Biotechnology and Food Research, MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Jokioinen, Finland
J Agric Food Chem 59:8298-303. 2011..However, because the relative activity between 25-OH-D(3) and vitamin D(3) is unknown, it remains questionable whether the use of 25-OH-D(3) in hens' feed is beneficial to human vitamin D intake from eggs...
