Would not the resulting hydrolysis and then subsequent dehydration, if done on a lower heat ,yet for longer, still give out the liberated amino acids from that process, thus making that powder kind of an advanced Amino 50, Keratine powder?
I would have thought that would really come into its own as a hookbait coating or an addition to a bait/basemix?
I think you could actually take that a whole step further if you chose to!

Can I just throw this out there, are we using livers just as a source of amino acids. I think there is something in Liver aside from the protein. Liver powder plain and hydrolysed, has a high fat content and is rich in fat soluble vitamins.
There is definitely to my mind something that elevates it above other meals.

Lets think what about the function of the liver and what it actually does in ANY animal or human. Then, allowing for all the toxicity accumulated, dependent on feed, hormones, steroids etc, It really does make you wonder just why these organs are so attractive to carp?
Going down this animal product line, has anyone tried, heart, kidney, flesh, intestines as a viable source of inclusion? Why is everything so one dimensional? Mince these, dehydrate these, Hydrolyse these and include these. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised. Blood products,both in liquid and powdered forms have always been a winnner for Carp attraction.
From my own perspective, the days of innovation have given way to lazy imitation. The instant carp angler syndrome most definitely prevails. Those that go above and behond through personal experimentation will, with a certain level of angling ability, shine much brighter.
What you put in, you will eventually receive back for your steadfast experimentation.
Christian.......Fats are KING!

I picked up some dried beef from the market yesterday as a bit of fun. Once ground to a fine powder it became apparent the the protein element is very water soluble just leaving the remaining sinews etc and the resulting liquid is a very strong smelling one. It seems that liver dried at lower temps retains almost all protein as soluble. As another point, it's been well documented that liver goes well with yeast which have good nucleotide properties so the combo of liver/sodium inosinate/msg could bring good results. I don't think liver is that reliant on amino acids as an attractant but is actually a very good palatant with the added bonus of ffaa's mixed with a good array of aromatic compounds derived from maillards reaction plus fats just makes a bloody tasty treat. To then have nucleotidea added just adds to the attraction.

LOL....I here you, but i guess its just tripe. Dogs love the stuff. No accounting for taste i guess. It does bloody pong for sure.
Interesting about the beef. Again, dehydrated and powdered, i guess the possibilities of an effective blend are endless, limited only to your imagination and what the old woman will tolerate on the stench scale! lol

Off the back of this thread, has anyone tried the raw liver route or......Letting an enzyme treated solution begin to turn naturally and incorporate it into a good fishmeal/ milk protein mix? The fact that enzymes do not switch off without deactivation via Ph or heat in extreme, it would be interesting to decipher the possibility of the natural decomposition of these ingredients post enzymatic breakdown.
Hopefully back on track, if not it'll be gone forever which would will be a shame.

So my question still stands from my original post. Can anyone recommend a supplier for beef liver powder or is it only mirage baits that it's easily accessible from?
Alongside that, what is the general consensus about liver powders? On one hand there are bait companies etc that are adamant chicken liver is inferior and then there are others that say there is simply no difference.
Which is it?
If you were let's say going to make a bait with liver as the main focal point. Would using beef liver produce a better bait or would using the chicken liver result in the bait being no different?

AA baits sell it. Never used it myself so no idea what it's like

Agreed, the best way of all is finding out yourself.
It's also about what else is in the make up of the bait not just best this or that.
