Carp are omnivores, they eat anything and everything. They are a highly aggressive, dominant species in most habitats and are regarded as pests in many parts of the world. They cause havoc in aquatic environments by eating everything out of house and home as well as by eating the eggs, fry, larvae and adults of pretty much everything else. They also convert food into carp very efficiently which is why they are a big business table fish in many parts of the world.

Stick a bit of bread, Luncheon meat or sweet corn on, or if you need to cast or beat nuisances stick a decent mainstream boilie on. You'll catch a lot of fish.

If bait making races your motor, enjoy. I do think you might be overthinking it a touch.

Sorry but you haven't a clue. You do not 'lose some of its amino acids' when protein is denatured. A protein is a chain of AA. When you denature proteins you break some of these bonds and the chain unravels a bit. If it was a functional protein such as trypsin then it will no longer function.

When a carp digests proteins it uses enzymes to break down the long chain proteins into smaller chains which it can then adsorb.

Carp do not have a stomach..... But if they did guess what the acids do to help digestion.... They denature the proteins

What happens if you hydrolyse a protein into a hydrolysate (which carp love, very attractive and they scream food to there senses)? You are denaturing the proteins

By using heat denaturing you are giving the carps digestive system a helping hand so to speak

The old saying that denatured proteins are 'bad' in baits is just incorrect. I did not make this discovery it's published findings.

My 11 year old knows carp are omnivores

Agreed

You also have to take pressure into account as it can have a significant impact, but most likely not in a home rolling environment.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
