Cooking an egg will significantly reduce the protein levels. This is why most nutritionists will recommend taking raw eggs once in a while.

Why is cooking a egg is chemical reactions?

Cooking an egg is a chemical reaction because of how the proteins of the egg change through the heating process. The heating of the egg white, for example, converts the amino acids to a different protein arrangement that is of bound texture.


What is the ideal pH level of egg whites for achieving the best results in baking or cooking?

The ideal pH level of egg whites for best results in baking or cooking is around 7.6 to 8.0.


What is the significance of the pH level in an egg?

The pH level in an egg is significant because it affects the egg's freshness and quality. A higher pH level indicates a fresher egg, while a lower pH level indicates an older egg. This is important for determining the egg's taste, texture, and cooking properties.

Is it true that egg white is an incomplete protein because the methionine amino acid is missing?

No it isn't an incomplete protein. Egg whites are just albumin protein that has been denatured by the heat of cooking. They are still whole proteins, they are just in a different conformation than their original form.


Should you drink eggs to get protein?

Eggs are a great source of protein, but drinking them raw can put you at risk for salmonella. I would suggest cooking them. For low fat but high protein option, eat egg whites.


Does cooking an egg have an effect on protein absorption?

I am going to assume that you are asking if cooking an egg has any affect on how your body absorbs its proteins.The answer is; not really. Your body would still get all the protein, though it would have to work harder if it was a raw egg.Think of cooking as a process that is very similar to digestion. When our bodies digest proteins, we are actually breaking them down into their peptides and essential amino acids. So all you are doing by cooking the egg is to 'pre-digest' a bit in order to give your body less work to do.In other words, when Sly Stallone 'Rocky' drank the raw eggs, it was more of an exhibition on masochism than good nutrition.


Where would an egg cook faster at sea level or on a mountain?

An egg will cook faster at sea level because the boiling point of water is lower at higher elevations, leading to slower cooking times.


How is egg protein different from meat protein?

Egg protein gives off less protein then meat protein.


What dishes illustrate protein denaturation and how?

Protein denaturation is the process by which proteins lose their three dimensional structure. This makes them easier to digest. One example of this is cooking an egg white. The coagulation of the denaturing proteins causes the change in color from clear to opaque.


How much time a egg should be boiled without harming the protein and other nutrients?

You can't "harm" the protein or nutrients in an egg. Cooking the egg enough so that the egg white turns white causes the albumin protein to denature, or rearrange, because of the heat. The nutritional properties are not affected. You should be more concerned that your egg is cooked thoroughly enough to kill any food borne pathogens such as Salmonella and E. Coli.


Is there protein in egg whites?
