In this study, we determined the vitamin B-12 content of commercially available century eggs (pidan) and characterized their vitamin B-12 compositions in detail. The egg yolk and white of century eggs (each 100 g wet weight) contained 1.9 +/- 0.6 and 0.8 +/- 0.3 mu g of vitamin B-12, respectively. The vitamin B-12 compounds purified from the egg yolk and white were identified as vitamin B-12 using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry. The vitamin B-12 present in the yolk or white of century eggs was recovered completely in macromolecular fractions, but not in free vitamin B-12 fractions by Sephadex G-50 gel filtration. However, with respect to the vitamin B-12 bound to protein in the century egg yolk, approximately 52% of the free vitamin B-12 was formed during in vitro gastric digestion and no free vitamin B-12 was detected in the egg white.
