Abstract
Spanish dry-cured ham is a high quality product whose economic value is mainly given by its curing time. An intense proteolysis takes place throughout the dry-cured processing, which results in the generation of a high amount of peptides and free amino acids responsible for the final quality of dry-cured hams. In this work, a peptidomics approach has been used to study the evolution of peptides throughout the ham dry-curing process, identifying and quantifying the generated peptides in order to define potential quality biomarkers. For this purpose, dry-cured ham extracts at different processing times (0, 2, 3.5, 5, 6.5 and 9months) were fractionated by size-exclusion chromatography and analysed by nanoliquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Differences obtained in the relative quantification of peptides by using a label-free methodology were useful to establish differences between processing times, being peptides generated by the degradation of myosin light chain 1 protein mainly responsible for the observed differences during the last stages of curing. In particular, APAPAPAPPKEEKI and PAPAPAPAPAPAPAPPKE, exclusively identified at 9months of curing, would be potential markers to control the time of curing and thus the final quality of dry-cured hams. Biological significance A peptidomics approach has been used to study the evolution of peptides throughout the ham dry-curing process, identifying peptides APAPAPAPPKEEKI and PAPAPAPAPAPAPAPPKE, which were only detected at 9months of process. So, they would constitute good potential markers to control the time of processing and thus the final quality of dry-cured hams.

Abstract
The food additive nitrite (E249, E250) is commonly used in meat curing as a food preservation method. Because of potential negative health effects of nitrite, its use is strictly regulated. In an earlier study we have shown that the calculated intake of nitrite in children can exceed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) when conversion from dietary nitrate to nitrite is included. This study examined time-dependent changes in nitrite levels in four Swedish meat products frequently eaten by children: pork/beef sausage, liver paté and two types of chicken sausage, and how the production process, storage and also boiling (e.g., simmering in salted water) and frying affect the initial added nitrite level. The results showed a steep decrease in nitrite level between the point of addition to the product and the first sampling of the product 24 h later. After this time, residual nitrite levels continued to decrease, but much more slowly, until the recommended use-by date. Interestingly, this continuing decrease in nitrite was much smaller in the chicken products than in the pork/beef products. In a pilot study on pork/beef sausage, we found no effects of boiling on residual nitrite levels, but frying decreased nitrite levels by 50%. In scenarios of time-dependent depletion of nitrite using the data obtained for sausages to represent all cured meat products and including conversion from dietary nitrate, calculated nitrite intake in 4-year-old children generally exceeded the ADI. Moreover, the actual intake of nitrite from cured meat is dependent on the type of meat source, with a higher residual nitrite levels in chicken products compared with pork/beef products. This may result in increased nitrite exposure among consumers shifting their consumption pattern of processed meats from red to white meat products.

Abstract
Large amounts of different peptides are naturally generated in dry-cured meats as a consequence of the intense proteolysis mechanisms which take place during their processing. In fact, meat proteins are extensively hydrolysed by muscle endo-peptidases (mainly calpains and cathepsins) followed by exo-peptidases (mainly, tri- and di-peptidyl peptidases, dipeptidases, aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases). The result is a large amount of released free amino acids and a pool of numerous peptides with different sequences and lengths, some of them with interesting sequences for bioactivity. This manuscript is presenting the proteomic identification of small peptides resulting from the hydrolysis of four target proteins (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, beta-enolase, myozenin-1 and troponin T) and discusses the enzymatic routes for their generation during the dry-curing process. The results indicate that the hydrolysis of peptides follows similar exo-peptidase mechanisms. In the case of dry-fermented sausages, most of the observed hydrolysis is the result of the combined action of muscle and microbial exo-peptidases except for the hydrolysis of di- and tri-peptides, mostly due to microbial di- and tri-peptidases, and the release of amino acids at the C-terminal that appears to be mostly due to muscle carboxypeptidases.

Abstract
Hydrodynamic pressure processing (HDP) or shockwave treatment improved tenderness (18% reduction in Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) of beef loin steaks. Endogenous muscle proteolyic activities (cathepsins and peptidases) and protein fragmentation of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were not influenced by HDP. However, microstructure changes were clearly detected using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Specifically a disruption of the structure at the muscle fiber bundles and an increased endomysium space were observed. The present paper supports the evidence of physical disruption of the muscle fibers as a cause behind the tenderness improvement. The paper discusses the possible mechanisms responsible for the meat tenderisation induced by HDP treatment.

Abstract
Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides derived from Spanish dry-cured ham have been examined for their stability during processing and after in vitro digestion. Results indicate that peptides preserved almost the same ACE inhibitory activity before and after applying diverse heating (from 50 to 117°C), times of processing (from 3 to 60min) and simulated in vitro digestion with gastrointestinal proteases. Peptides KAAAAP, AAPLAP, KPVAAP, IAGRP, and KAAAATP were the most potent peptides with IC50 values ranging from 12.37 to 25.94μM. Peptides IAGRP and PTPVP have also been identified in the processed sample (6min at 117°C), and in the in vitro digested sample. This study proves the high stability of ACE inhibitory peptides derived from Spanish dry-cured ham against temperature of processing and gastrointestinal digestion as well as the powerful ACE inhibitory activity of some of the peptides identified in Spanish dry-cured ham.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to purify and identify antioxidant peptides present in a water soluble extract of Spanish dry-cured ham. The initial extract was loaded into a Sephadex G25 column and fractions showing antioxidant activity were collected, pooled together and subjected to reversed-phase chromatography for further purification. Using a nano-LC-MS/MS analysis, 27 peptides were identified in these fractions. Several key peptides were selected for synthesis and the determination of their antioxidant properties using the DPPH radical-scavenging assay and reducing power analysis. The strongest radical-scavenging activity was observed with peptide SAGNPN which showed 50% antioxidant activity at a concentration of 1.5mg/ml. On the other hand, the peptide GLAGA showed the higher reducing power with 0.5 units of absorbance at 700 nm at a concentration of 1mg/ml. Other synthesised sequences showed lower antioxidant activity. The results indicate the potential of Spanish dry-cured ham as a source of antioxidant peptides naturally generated during the dry-curing process.

Abstract
Cathepsins B, D, H and L as well as the glycosidases β-glucuronidase and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase were assayed for activity in fresh pork muscles stored for up to 20 days at 4°C and in 3- and 8-month dry-cured hams. Cathepsin B, H and L activities fell by 40-79% after 20 days while cathepsin D activity remained unchanged. All the enzymes were still active after 8 months of dry curing; with the recoveries found to be in the range 14-73%. Contaminant microorganisms did not appear to contribute to the observed proteinase activities. Cathepsins B, H and L activities from the 8-month ham have been confirmed as cysteine proteinases by the use of specific inhibitors. It was further confirmed that the cathepsin B and L activities in fresh pork and dry-cured ham were similar by isoelectrofocusing. We suggest that the presence of the curing salts may be important in stabilising the muscle enzymes during the curing process.

Abstract
Twenty pork carcasses were classified in different pork meat qualities: red, firm and non-exudative (RFN), pale, soft and exudative (PSE), red, soft and exudative (RSE) and dark, firm and dry (DFD) meat. The content of peptides and free amino acids during the ageing process was analysed and compared within quality classes. Four peptide fractions were isolated through cation-exchange and reverse-phase chromatography. The main significant differences among qualities were obtained for peptide fractions 3 and 4. Peptide fraction 3 at 4 days and peptide fraction 4 at 2 h postmortem were higher in the ideal pork quality (RFN) than in the other quality classes. The ageing of pork meats produced a general increase in all free amino acid concentrations for the studied quality classes except for Gln, β-Ala, Taurine and Orn and the dipeptides carnosine and anserine. The DFD class showed higher increases in Lys, Ala and Met probably due to the activation of neutral aminopeptidases.

Abstract
AIMS The capacity of Lactobacillus sakei CRL1862 to prevent the growth of pathogens and its ability to degrade sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins in pork meat systems was evaluated. In addition, basic safety aspects of Lact. sakei CRL1862 such as production of biogenic amines and antibiotic susceptibility were addressed. METHODS AND RESULTS The bacteriocin-producing Lact. sakei CRL1862 showed respectively bactericide and bacteriostatic effect against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus in beaker sausage assay during 9 days of storage at 22 °C. The hydrolytic effect of Lact. sakei CRL1862 on protein extracts was evaluated by SDS-PAGE and reverse phase HPLC. A more pronounced proteolysis was evidenced in inoculated sarcoplasmic proteins compared with myofibrillar extracts with the generation of predominantly hydrophilic peptides and increase of total free amino acids concentration. Lactobacillus sakei CRL1862 produced neither histamine nor tyrosine and exhibited no resistance to the antibiotics assayed. CONCLUSIONS Lactobacillus sakei CRL1862 effectively controlled the growth of L. monocytogenes and Staph. aureus; moreover, it was able to hydrolyse pork meat extracts generating peptides and amino acids, which may improve hygienic and sensorial attributes of fermented meat products. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The use of an integrated approach to evaluate the major traits of Lact. sakei CRL1862 showed it can be applied as an autochthonous functional starter in meat fermentation.
