In addition, cooking meat with a higher content of fat has also a further advantage.

The splitting of protein molecules <strong>begins in the stomach, <\/strong>where pepsin is released due to hydrochloric acid, which begins to cleave protein bonds to amino acids. In the stomach, there is <strong>10-20% of the digestive process<\/strong>, which further continues in the small intestine. The pancreas will neutralize hydrochloric acid and create an alkaline environment. Enzymes later work on the<strong> cleaving of protein into the smaller amino acids.&nbsp;<\/strong>Frankly said, <strong>the stomach and the thin intestine &#8220;boil&#8221; the proteins <\/strong>in the same way as if you were to fry them on the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact is, however, that the protein powder mixed with water is easier for<strong> the organism to digest than<\/strong> protein pancakes.
