Protein denature?

[rake922]

"One of the big problems with mixing a drink to sip
on is that protein (any protein) will begin to denature after a few
hours after being mixed. This means it's going to be breaking down
before you even ingest it and your body will not be able to utilize it
fully. "

no clue.

if that's an issue... use a ziplock baggy to pack some pro. powder in. use the shaker bottle for the liquid... then combine when needed.

I hope it's not true. I've been pre-mixing my protien drinks before work for 17 years.

What is the citation for that quotation? I know creatine monohydrate shouldn't be mixed in water for more than 12 hours or so before it starts to lose efficacy, never read anything about protein.The problem the supplement industry had for years with ready to drink shakes was that the regulations on heating the canned product would denature the protein, nothing about water denaturing protein. Milk is mostly water, are you saying milk is useless as a protein source since the protein is in water? Sorry, I don't see the mechanism of action.....

so it's BS?

 

[javaguru]

I know that CERTAIN individual amino acids, free form L-glutamine, will break down in water but I've never seen anything about intact proteins or polypeptides rapidly breaking down in water.

I think it's bs. Where the heck would it go?

if this was true........boiled chicken is pointless. Protein is very hard to break down. Your body has special enzymes for them. Protein extracted away from fats and carbs from a certain food doesn't mean that it becomes more vulnerable to denaturing if put into water alone.
