Biotin and Raw Egg White Avidin Interaction

  • Yes, the avidin protein found in raw egg whites binds biotin (Vitamin B7) extremely tightly and irreversibly in the human gastrointestinal tract.
  • This creates a chelating effect, forming an avidin-biotin complex that is highly resistant to proteolytic digestion and gut enzymes.
  • Because of this exceptionally high binding affinity, the biotin becomes unavailable for absorption, which can potentially lead to a biotin deficiency if raw egg whites are consumed in large quantities over a prolonged period.
  • Cooking denatures the avidin protein, permanently altering its three-dimensional structure and destroying its ability to bind biotin, rendering cooked eggs safe and fully digestible regarding biotin status.
