how to nutritionally enhance those shrimp!

Cool. Suprised you'd leave it uncooked overnight in a fridge though. Anyway using warm water out a tap won't make any difference than if it was cold. Maybe it would make a difference if you were defrosting in warmer temperatures, but I'm still not sure... waiting for the answer of the previously asked question.
Your paper go ok?
Your paper go ok?
I always defrost shrimp in cold water(I forgot who told me). But now I think I gotta get some of the Kent Marine stuff.
Zinq;879390; said:Cool,marine biology, that's a field I've always been interested in.
One point though, (too many molecular biology classes), I understand the whole concept of denaturation via heat, pH, etc etc. But I don't understand why it matters whether a protein that is going to be digested is biologically active or not.
I can see how the digestive enzyme itself has to be in it's optimal environment but why must the protein to be digested also be in its original conformation?
One possible argument I can foresee would be that fish have digestive enzymes that are more particular, only able to break down proteins in certain conformations. I have no clue whether that's true or not seeing that I know little about fish physiology. But in humans, we break down and absorb about 98% of all the protein in our diet, with our broad spectrum enzymes and what not, randomly cleaving here n there.
Anyways, could you explain how come the conformation of the protein that is going to be digested matters?
Thanks
PS. Good luck with your paper, seems like a really interesting topic.
hi zinq, interesting question, I would like some expert explain this topic. Maybe cooking the shrimp affects its vitamin content or something, because I know it doesn´t affect the quality or amount of aminoacids.
This may be an insane question, but what are you feeding these large shrimp TO? Any and all fishies??
that recipe looks delicious. i might try it myself. add people-vitamins and lemon/lime juice and i'll have my own healthy "One-A-Day Garlic Shrimp Ceviche".
very imformative post!!! i do almost what you do (switching to cold water now) i also stuff with pellets prior to feeding. thanks for sharing
