Egg White Powder

Any opinions on this?

Works out at half the cost of Liquid Egg Whites for equivalent protein content so in theory quite cost effective for getting in a good quality protein source.

More food, less supps.

i can't imagine they'd be good quality. Sound awful. If you wanna eat eggs why not fresh eggs?

I've no problem with more food but from a cost perspective it's worth exploring options. I use very little powders now anyway.

Proteins denature when frothed up and exposed to air, and in the case of egg white the denatured protein is harder to digest than undenatured as the new chemical bonds are more numerous than the old ones. Adding some fat or carbs should reduce the ability of any protein to foam up and can actually protect its nutritional value.

Adding to whole egg for cooking would probably solve this.

Would you say the forthing issue applies to the likes of Isolates and Peptopro?

The frothing indicates that denaturing has already occured, so yes isolates that froth excessively without too much shaking aren't great. This doesn't affect the total protein content of the protein, but just adds extra work to the digestive process and may reduce levels of certain useful NEAAs - liek in whey where denaturation converts a lot of the Cysteine into Cystine, which markedly reduces the amount of glutathione synthesis that occurs in response to a feeding of whey protein.
