Hydrolysisreaction

Proteinundergoeshydrolysisreactionundertheactionofacid,alkaliorenzyme.Afterpolypeptide,avarietyofα-aminoacidsarefinallyobtained.

Whentheproteinishydrolyzed,the"breakingpoint"ofthebondinthestructureshouldbefound,andthepeptidebondispartiallyorcompletelybrokenduringhydrolysis.

Colloidproperties

Someproteinscanbedissolvedinwater(forexample,eggwhitecanbedissolvedinwater)toformasolution.

Whenthemoleculardiameteroftheproteinreachesthesizeofcolloidalparticles(10-9~10-7m),theproteinhascolloidalproperties.

Precipitation

Reason:addinghighconcentrationofneutralsalt,addingorganicsolvents,addingheavymetals,addingalkaloidsoracids,asmallamountofsalt(suchasammoniumsulfate,sodiumsulfate,etc.))Canpromotethedissolutionofprotein.Ifaconcentratedinorganicsaltsolutionisaddedtotheproteinaqueoussolution,thesolubilityoftheproteincanbereducedandprecipitatedoutofthesolution.Thiseffectiscalledsaltingout.

Secondly,areasonablecombinationofvariousfoodsisaneffectivemethodthatiseconomicalandcaneffectivelyincreasethenutritionalvalueofprotein.Itisbesttohaveone-thirdoftheproteinconsumeddailyfromanimalprotein,andtwo-thirdsfromplantprotein.Thepeopleofourcountryhavethehabitofeatingmixedfoods.Mixingseveralkindsofproteinswithlownutritionalvalue.Theaminoacidsinthemcomplementeachother,whichcansignificantlyincreasethenutritionalvalue.Forexample,cerealproteincontainslesslysineandmoremethionine.Beanproteincontainsmorelysineandlessmethionine.Whenthesetwotypesofproteinaremixed,theessentialaminoacidscomplementeachother,closetotheneedsofthehumanbody,andthenutritionalvalueisgreatlyimproved.

Third,everymealmusthaveacertainqualityandquantityofprotein.Thehumanbodydoesnotsetupastoragewarehouseforprotein.Ifyoueattoomuchproteinatatime,itwillinevitablycausewaste.Onthecontrary,whenthereisinsufficientproteininfood,youngpeoplewillbestunted,andadultswillfeelfatigue,weightloss,anddiseaseresistanceweakened.

健身人群补充

健身锻炼期间,人体对蛋白质的需求比其他阶段要旺盛得多。粮食类蛋白质含有的赖氨酸较少,如果将其与大豆、肉食、蛋类等含有较多赖氨酸的食物搭配食用,就会相互提高几者间的营养价值。再比如,大豆中含有的蛋氨酸很低,而玉米中蛋氨酸却很高,如果两者之间组合一下,就会产生互补,提高营养价值。

通过上面的实例,在健身锻炼期间调整我们以往的饮食结构,实现食物多样化,粗粮细粮均衡搭配,动物蛋白合理分配到每一餐,适量摄取豆制品,可以很好地提高我们每一餐的营养价值。在这一情况下进行健身锻炼,最终表现出来的结果是健身效果明显提高。
