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.

What is the correct name for eggwhite?
The correct name for egg white is albumen. It is a clear, viscous fluid that surrounds the yolk of an egg and is rich in protein. It is commonly used in cooking and baking for its binding and leavening properties.
Why does an egg cook faster when there is more hot water?
An egg will cook faster in more hot water because a larger volume of hot water can transfer heat more efficiently to the egg, speeding up the cooking process. The increased thermal energy in the larger volume of hot water results in quicker heat transfer to the egg, leading to faster cooking.
Which part of the egg contain protean?
The whole egg contains protein but the albumin is ALL protein
What has to be broken to be used?
An egg has to be broken to be used for cooking or baking.
Why does a egg have protein in it?
Protein is a building block. Eggs can become chickens.
Biotin absorption is inhibited by a. phytate. b. oxalate. c. avidin. d. copper.?
c. avidin. Avidin, a protein found in raw egg whites, can bind to biotin and inhibit its absorption in the body. Cooking egg whites denatures avidin and reduces its ability to interfere with biotin absorption.
Does cooking an egg reduce protein level?
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.
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.
Does cooking an egg give off heat or absorb it?
Cooking an egg generally gives off heat to the surrounding environment, as the process of cooking involves the transfer of heat from a heat source to the egg. However, while the egg absorbs heat during the cooking process to change its state from raw to cooked, the overall effect is a release of heat into the surrounding air or cooking medium. Therefore, it absorbs heat for cooking but ultimately results in heat being given off to the environment.
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.
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 is egg protein different from meat protein?
Egg protein gives off less protein then meat protein.
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?
Yes there is protein in egg whites.
What is the correct name for eggwhite?
The correct name for egg white is albumen. It is a clear, viscous fluid that surrounds the yolk of an egg and is rich in protein. It is commonly used in cooking and baking for its binding and leavening properties.
What is the name of the protein found in egg white?
The protein found in egg white is called ovalbumin. Ovalbumin is the main protein component of egg white and represents approximately 54% of the total protein content in a chicken egg. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids required by the human body for growth and maintenance. Ovalbumin denatures and coagulates when exposed to heat, which is why egg whites solidify when cooked.
