When protein powder and muscle-building powder are taken with boiling water, they tend to clump. What is the reason? This is the so-called protein denaturation. Protein powder is very sensitive to temperature. As long as the temperature exceeds its own temperature tolerance, the activity of the protein will decrease in a straight line.
Thermotolerance refers to the highest temperature point that a protein can endure without the protein itself deteriorating. This highest temperature point is called thermotolerance.
Does temperature resistance have an impact on the protein powder we are eating? Of course it does, because the extracted protein is in an unstable state and is very sensitive to temperature. As long as the temperature exceeds its own temperature tolerance, the activity of the protein will decrease linearly. When it is lowered, the utilization rate is also relatively reduced. Temperature resistance is an important indicator of product quality and stability.
The higher the temperature resistance, the higher the stability of the protein and the less it will be destroyed by temperature. The corresponding protein can live longer and the higher the utilization rate by the human body. You must have eaten instant noodles with raw eggs. When boiling water is poured into the bowl, you must see that the originally clear liquid egg white immediately turns into a white insoluble block of protein. This is the so-called protein denaturation. After the protein is denatured, its structure will change and precipitate, then the protein will be damaged.
Therefore, in order to avoid damaging the protein activity, do not drink a cup of hot boiling water when drinking protein powder. The correct way to drink it is: pour the warm boiled water into the cup first , add protein powder, stir or shake until it is completely dissolved before taking it, or accompany it with juice or orange juice containing VC, because VC helps the protein to be absorbed by the body.
