  1. 1The number of the scattering curve used for the analysis among a series of 390 curves in the SEC-SAXS measurement. These positions in the elution profiles are shown by arrows in Fig. 3.
  2. 2I(0) values were normalized to 100 based on the I(0) at the MP1 of unpasteurized whole eggs.
  3. 3Ratio of the I(0) value at MP1 to that at MP2.
  4. 4Fitting errors to Eq. (1).
  5. 5Pasteurized frozen whole egg.
  6. 6Not detected.
