Raw eggs

[thor159]

I'm thinking about drink those pasteurized eggs instead of eat it. Will be easier and will save me some time. I just would like to know from the guys over there what to do to give it some taste. Do you think if I mix a bit of vanilla or any other flavor will be good? Any other ideas?

All the best and thanks in advance!

Pasturized egg is not really raw, but nothing wrong with drinking it, add a cup to your protein shakes

I used the pasteurised/frozen egg whites quite a lot...they make a nice protein shake with whey powder in a blender; or use Weightwatchers jelly crystals, Milkshake flavouring (1 tsp is low in sugar content), Coffee, or sugar free drink flavours, which not easy to find, you may have to look elsewhere than your usual supermarket, but they are out there.

Actually, thinking about it, the one thing I HAVEN'T done with pasteurised egg whites is cook them!

or just add a bit of milo or nesquick for flavouring (give you bita carbs/sugar too :shifty: )

Raw eggs have pretty low bioavailability, don't they? Are pasteurised whites any different?

as mentioned somewhere on here raw egg whites have a tendancy to just go right through you, pasteurisation makes no difference it just kills the bugs

go for it if you want to piss it straight out ur ass

Pasteurization will deactivade avidin.

[curtb]

Supposedly raw eggs contain biotin, which will cause only half the protein to be ingested into your body. This biotin gets destroyed in the cooking process.

[thor159]

Do you know what's pasteurization? Anyway... the topic isn't about it.

All the best guys!

you stated that you were thinking about drinking PASTURISED eggs instead of cooking them, people were just pointing out that drinking raw egg whites pasturised or otherwise is not generally a good idea as tha body can't process raw egg white very well and you would most likely end up pissing it out your arse!!

pasturisation is relevant for comment as it kilss bacteria but DOES NOT increase the bioavalibility of them.

but hey, knock yourself out and drink them on down 8)

This is incorect, crossed linked proteins are notoriously hard to digest, cooking causes the protien to bo denatured and re assembles the amino acid profile, the quality of raw egg protein is higher than that of cooked.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denaturati ... emistry%29

When food is cooked, some of its proteins become denatured. This is why boiled eggs become hard and cooked meat becomes firm.

A classic example of denaturing in proteins comes from egg whites, which are largely egg albumins in water. Fresh from the eggs, egg whites are transparent and liquid. But by cooking they are turned opaque and white, and form an interconnected solid mass.

Denaturation is the major change in protein or nucleic acid structure by application of some external stress for example, treatment of proteins with strong acids or bases, high concentrations of inorganic salts or organic solvents (e.g., alcohol or chloroform), heat ,which results in improper functioning of cell activity. Denatured proteins can exhibit a wide range of characteristics, from loss of solubility to communal aggregation. Proteins are very long strands of amino acids linked together in specific sequences.

A protein is created by ribosomes that "read" codons in the gene and assemble the requisite amino acid combination from the genetic instruction, in a process known as translation.

Most biological proteins lose their biological function when denatured. For example, enzymes lose their catalytic activity, because the substrates can no longer bind to the active site, and because amino acid residues involved in stabilizing substrates' transition states are no longer positioned to be able to do so.

Maybe a little silly, but wouldn't raw egg denature in your stomach acid? lol :roll:

Now I'm confused...pasteurising does do something to raw egg whites which makes them safe to drink - but they're not cooked, right?

As for the unpleasant side effects, I was on ten pasteurised/frozen egg whites twice a day for a while, never once encountered upset stomach/ diarrhea.

So, what is the truth about pasteurised eggs versus unpasteurised?

I'll try to explain. Sorry in advance for my english.

Pasteurization will kill the bachterias and deactivate the avidin.

The pasteurization process heats the egg white to 134 degrees for 31/2 minutes.

Denaturation is the change of original structures by changes in the PH or temperature. That's why when you cook the eggs they change from liquid to solid.

Denaturation will happen in the egg whites if you expose them to a bigger temperature than that of pasteurization of if expose them for that temperature for a longer time.

this will explain better

[Dr.Jackal]

That is 134 degrees fahrenhite, egg white will coagulate at around 70 degrees celsius so must be pasturised at a temp lower than that.

[flexingtonsteel]

that seems like a long ass time just to basically eat raw eggs. i usually just chuck 5 whole eggs in my protein shakes and u cant even taste it

I was just confused about the right temperature. But the sure is that do denaturate you need a bigger temperature or same to pasteurize but for longer time.
