What happens when proteins in egg white are denatured?.

|| ▼ Answer ▼ ||

When the egg white is denatured like what is done in frying or boiling an egg, the protein present in the egg white will be coagulated.

|| ✪ Explanation ✪ ||

The texture of the egg will change due to denaturation. With the application of heat, protein is coagulated by losing its bonds for its shape. When the egg is boiled, the protein present will group together making the egg texture hard. Denaturation of proteins contributes to the change of their structure and thereby losing their function.

If you have any questions please ask.

Denaturation of proteins in egg disrupts the tertiary structure of proteins.

Explanation:

The bond between the charged groups and the non-polar groups is altered. This takes place at high temperatures and it is an irreversible denaturation. it results to whitening of the albumen
