Abstract
Protein seems to be the most crucial
macronutrient for wound healing, enhancing immune system performance, and
preserving lean body mass in the critical care situation. The majority of
critically sick patients have high protein needs due to high catabolic stress. High-quality
proteins, vitamins, and minerals are found in eggs, a nutrient-dense food. Eggs
whites are recognized as a source of high-quality proteins with an amino acid
score of 100.It is important to pay more attention to the role that eggs and
egg components play in the prevention and treatment of disease. Eggs are used
in a wide range of industrial processes in addition to being renowned as a
"functional food" that helps prevent illness and promote wellness.
Egg white is broken down by enzymes, producing hydrolysates that are quickly
absorbed and have a variety of physiological effects. The egg white peptide's
potential pharmacological actions, such as antibacterial, anti-cancer,
anti-inflammatory, and ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibition as well
as immunomodulatory effects, have been documented. Unfortunately, the scientific
evidence supporting the advantages of egg white powder supplementation over
conventional additive proteins like whey protein or casein in the context of
severe illness is still lacking. Thus, we performed a narrative review
concentrating on the effect of egg white supplementation in critically ill
patients. We used search engines like PubMed and Google Scholar for this
purpose. However, this is a narrative review, we would recommend more systemic
reviews and interventional studies to highlight the effect of egg whitepedtide
supplementation in critically ill patients.
