Fan X, Gao X, Li R, Pan D, Zhou C. Myofibrillar proteins' intermolecular interaction weakening and degradation: Are they mainly responsible for the tenderization of meat containing l-arginine, l-lysine, or/and NaCl? Food Chem 2024; 441:138318. [PMID: 38181666 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
This study explored the effects of l-arginine, l-lysine, and NaCl alone and in combination on the tenderness of porcine meat. Arg, Lys, and NaCl alone improved the tenderness, decreased the cooking loss, and increased the myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI) of porcine meat; Both Arg and Lys cooperated with NaCl to better achieve this effect. Furthermore, Arg/Lys collaborated with NaCl to increase muscle fiber swelling and moisture content of the meat and promoted the extraction of main myofibrillar proteins. FT-IR revealed that Arg, Lys, or NaCl alone or in combination caused changes in protein-water interactions. Western blotting revealed varying degrees of meat protein degradation in all cases, but the results did not well coincide with those of shear force and the MFI. Therefore, the weakening of intermolecular forces between myofibrillar proteins was considered the main reason for meat tenderization under the present study conditions.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:3947-3957. [PMID: 38264924 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to improve the tenderness of dried shrimp products as well as to reduce the hardness of the meat during the drying process, shrimp were treated with ultrasound combined with pineapple protease and the tenderization condition was optimized by measuring the texture and shear force of dried shrimp. In addition, the sulfhydryl content, myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) and microstructure were also examined to clarify the mechanisms of shrimp tenderization. RESULTS The results showed UB1 group with ultrasonic power of 100 W, heating temperature of 50 °C and pineapple protease concentration of 20 U mL-1 were the optimum tenderization conditions, where shrimp showed the lowest hardness (490.76 g) and shear force (2006.35 gf). Microstructure as well as sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis results suggested that during the tenderization process the muscle segments of shrimps were broken, degradation of myofibrillar proteins occurred, and MFI values and total sulfhydryl content increased significantly (P < 0.05) (MFI value = 193.6 and total sulfhydryl content = 93.93 mmol mg-1 protein for UB 1 group). CONCLUSION Ultrasound combined with bromelain could be used as a simple and effective tenderization method for the production of tender dried shrimp. The best conditions were 100 W ultrasonic power, 50 °C ultrasonic temperature, and 20 U mL-1 bromelain. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Marinating is a traditional method of improving the quality of meat, but it has been modified in response to consumer demand for "clean label" products. The aim of this review is to present scientific literature on the natural ingredients contained in marinades, the parameters of the marinating process, and certain mechanisms that bring about changes in meat. A review was carried out of publications from 2000 to 2023 available in Web of Science on the natural ingredients of meat marinades: fruit and vegetables, seasonings, fermented dairy products, wine, and beer. The review showed that natural marinades improve the sensory quality of meat and its culinary properties; they also extend its shelf life. They affect the safety of meat products by limiting the oxidation of fats and proteins. They also reduce biogenic amines and the formation of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This is possible due to the presence of biologically active substances and competitive microflora from dairy products. However, some marinades, especially those that are acidic, cause a slightly acidic flavour and an unfavourable colour change. Natural compounds in the ingredients of marinades are accepted by consumers. There are no results in the literature on the impact of natural marinades on the nutritional value and health-promoting potential of meat products, so it can be assumed that this is a future direction for scientific research.

Abstract
This study investigates the features of interactions between cysteine proteases (bromelain, ficin, and papain) and a graft copolymer of carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt with N-vinylimidazole. The objective is to understand the influence of this interactions on the proteolytic activity and stability of the enzymes. The enzymes were immobilized through complexation with the carrier. The interaction mechanism was examined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and flexible molecular docking simulations. The findings reveal that the enzymes interact with the functional groups of the carrier via amino acid residues, resulting in the formation of secondary structure elements and enzyme's active sites. These interactions induce modulation of active site of the enzymes, leading to an enhancement in their proteolytic activity. Furthermore, the immobilized enzymes demonstrate superior stability compared to their native counterparts. Notably, during a 21-day incubation period, no protein release from the conjugates was observed. These results suggest that the complexation of the enzymes with the graft copolymer has the potential to improve their performance as biocatalysts, with applications in various fields such as biomedicine, pharmaceutics, and biotechnology.

Meat tenderization using acetaminophen (paracetamol/APAP): A review on deductive biochemical mechanisms, toxicological implications and strategies for mitigation. Heliyon 2023; 9:e15628.

Abstract
Meats consist of edible portions originating from domestic and wild animals. Meat's palatability and sensory accessibility largely depend on its tenderness to consumers. Although many factors influence meat tenderness, the cooking method cannot be neglected. Different chemical, mechanical, and natural means of meat tenderization have been considered healthy and safe for consumers. However, many households, food vendors, and bars in developing countries engage in the unhealthy use of acetaminophen (paracetamol/APAP) in meat tenderization due to the cost reduction it offers in the overall cooking process. Acetaminophen (paracetamol/APAP) is one of the most popular, relatively cheap, and ubiquitous over-the-counter drugs that induce serious toxicity challenges when misused. It is important to note that acetaminophen during cooking is hydrolyses into a toxic compound known as 4-aminophenol, which damages the liver and kidney and results in organ failure. Despite the reports on the increase in the use of acetaminophen for meat tenderizing in many web reports, there have not been any serious scientific publications on this subject. This study adopted classical/traditional methodology to review relevant literature retrieved from Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect using relevant key terms (Acetaminophen, Toxicity, Meat tenderization, APAP, paracetamol, mechanisms) and Boolean operators (AND and OR). This paper provides in-depth information on the hazard and health implications of consuming acetaminophen tenderized meat via genetic and metabolic pathways deductions. Understanding these unsafe practices will promote awareness and mitigation strategies.

Abstract
Papain, bromelain, and ficin are commonly used plant proteases used for meat tenderization. Other plant proteases explored for meat tenderization are actinidin, zingibain, and cucumin. The application of plant crude extracts or powders containing higher levels of compounds exerting tenderizing effects is also gaining popularity due to lower cost, improved sensory attributes of meat, and the presence of bioactive compounds exerting additional benefits in addition to tenderization, such as antioxidants and antimicrobial effects. The uncontrolled plant protease action could cause excessive tenderization (mushy texture) and poor quality due to an indiscriminate breakdown of proteins. The higher cost of separation and the purification of enzymes, unstable structure, and poor stability of these enzymes due to autolysis are some major challenges faced by the food industry. The meat industry is targeting the recycling of enzymes and improving their stability and shelf-life by immobilization, encapsulation, protein engineering, medium engineering, and stabilization during tenderization. The present review critically analyzed recent trends and the prospects of the application of plant proteases in meat tenderization.

Abstract
The impact of papain and/or ultrasound treatments on tenderization of semitendinosus muscle through a proteomic approach was studied. Sixteen bovine muscles were submitted to the following treatments: aging at 3 °C (Control), papain injection (PI), ultrasound (US), PI followed by US (PIUS) and US followed by PI (USPI). pH, myofibrillar fragmentation indices (MFI), soluble collagen, texture profile and changes of myofibrillar proteins were investigated after 2, 24, 48 and 96 h of storage. The highest MFI and soluble collagen content were found in PI, PIUS and USPI samples while control samples showed the lowest values. PI samples showed the lowest WBSF and hardness values until 48 h of storage while at 96 h meat from USPI treatment showed WBSF value comparable to PI treatment. The lowest values of cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were found in PI samples during all storage times. Proteomic analysis revealed a different quantity and expression of proteins among tenderization treatments. US treatment did not exhibit a significant ability to degrade muscle proteins, while, all treatments containing papain, showed a greater ability to hydrolyse and degrade myofibrillar proteins. PI promoted intense proteolysis leading to an early tenderization process; on the contrary, in PIUS and USPI treatments the sequence of treatments was relevant on meat tenderization. Particularly, USPI treatment, after 96 h, reached the same improvement in tenderness of enzymatic treatment but with slower hydrolysing rate; this could be determinant to preserve textural structure.

DRUG METABOLISM AND BIOANALYSIS LETTERS 2022; 15:159-165.

Abstract
Paracetamol poisoning is the commonest cause of acute liver injury. Therefore, the unethical use of paracetamol as a food tenderizer poses a threat to human health. Although this is a common practice in Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria, and Kenya, there are few or no scientific records on the use of paracetamol as a food tenderizer and its deleterious effects, thus making it difficult to regulate this practice. This review aims to fully collate and present a systematic overview of the literature on the use of paracetamol as a food tenderizer in these countries, the potentially harmful effects posed by the practice, and measures in place to curb the situation. Additionally, this review aims to reveal the scientific gaps and areas requiring more research, thus providing a reference for further research to regulate this unscrupulous practice. From our extensive review of the literature, the high cost of fuel used in cooking and longer cooking times are the main reasons for the inappropriate use of paracetamol as a food tenderizer. Also, this review concludes that little has been done to create public awareness of this unethical practice. Furthermore, few ways to monitor, control and regulate this practice have been proposed.

Bibliometric Analysis of Research on the Main Genes Involved in Meat Tenderness. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12212976.

Abstract
Simple Summary A bibliometric analysis was carried out to know the evolution of research on genes associated with meat tenderness, of interest for the development of selection programs. Since 1993, studies have been limited to a few researchers in high-income countries due to the costs associated with the techniques. The main findings showed that the scientific production had a discontinuous growth because science experienced a significant change since approximately 2010. Marker-assisted selection was widely used, evaluating mainly CAPN (calpain) and CAST (calpastatin) genes for their contribution to meat tenderness, especially in cattle. However, the effects are small; therefore, genomic selection was implemented by genotyping thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for further explanation of genetic variation. The results shown are important for scholars to identify emerging methodologies and gaps in the literature and to know who the prolific authors and institutions in the field for possible collaborations, etc., are. Abstract Tenderness is one of the main characteristics of meat because it determines its price and acceptability. This is the first bibliometric study on the trend of research on the role of genes in meat tenderness. A total of 175 original and English-language articles published up to 2021 were retrieved from Scopus. The bibliometric analysis was carried out with VOSviewer (version 1.6.18, Eck and Waltman, Leiden, Netherlands) and complemented with the Analyze search results service from Scopus. Erroneous and duplicate data were eliminated, and incomplete information was added to standardize the results. Scientific production was evaluated by means of quantity, quality and structure indicators. As a first glance, 8.816% of authors have published more than 50% of papers mainly related to genes encoding the calpain (CAPN)-calpastatin (CAST) system and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Among other findings, a strong link was found between the contribution of the main countries (led by the United States with) and their institutions (led by the USDA Agricultural Research Service with) to their gross domestic product. Most studies on the topic are published in the Journal of Animal Science, and other journals with high impact according to the number of citations and different metrics. Finally, when evaluating the most cited articles, the occurrence and association of the main keywords, it was confirmed that research is focused on the role of CAPN and CAST genes and of SNPs in beef tenderness. The change in science was emphasized; although marker-assisted selection is still used, genes have an infinitesimal effect on complex traits. Therefore, since about 2010, new research groups adopted genomic selection to evaluate dense panels of SNPs and better explain genetic variation in meat tenderness.

Abstract
Dysphagia is a medical condition that describes the difficulty of swallowing food, and texture modified food (TMF) is the best intervention for dysphagia. The relevant guidelines to identify dysphagia food are provided by the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI). Developing texture modified meat is a challenging task due to its fibrous microstructure and harder texture. Various meat tenderization attempts are therefore evaluated in the literature. Meat texture modification for dysphagia is not just limited to tenderization but should be focused on safe swallowing attributes as well. The application of hydrocolloids for designing TMF has a major research focus as it is a cost-effective method and offers an opportunity for careful control. The present review focuses on the meat texture modification attempts that have been used in the past and present, with special attention to the use of hydrocolloids. Several studies have shown improvements in texture upon the addition of various hydrocolloids; however, few studies have attempted to develop texture modified meat for people with dysphagia. This area has to be further developed along with the sensory evaluations conducted with the dysphagia population, to validate the industrial application of hydrocolloids to TMF.

Abstract
Tenderness could measure the eating quality of meat. The mechanism of muscle tenderization is becoming more and more critical in the past decade. Since the transforming of muscle into edible meat requires a complex physiological and biochemical process, the related tenderization of meat can be beneficial to improving the meat quality. As a non-thermal processing technology with energy-saving, environmental protection, and intense penetration, ultrasonic treatment has been widely used in the tenderizing process of meat products. In this paper, the principle of meat tenderization, the ultrasonic technology, and the application of ultrasonic technology in meat tenderization is summarized. The effect of ultrasonic technology on the tenderization of meat products is discussed from different perspectives (muscle fibers and connective tissue properties).

Abstract
Physicochemical and in vitro protein digestibility of alginate/calcium (AC) restructured pork steak hydrolyzed with bromelain with addition of LA gellan, LM pectin and κ-carrageenan at various concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2% w/w) was evaluated for masticatory dysfunction people. The AC samples with κ-carrageenan showed the lowest cooking losses and highest water holding capacity (WHC). Moreover, addition of κ-carrageenan showed the highest Kramer shear force (KSF) and higher hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness, and gumminess, but the adhesiveness value was lower than those of the other treatments. According to SEM, the gel network of AC samples with κ-carrageenan was more clearly than those with the other treatments. FTIR demonstrated that the addition of polysaccharides to AC sample enhanced the hydrogen bonds in the gel system. For in vitro protein digestibility results, addition of 0.5% (w/w) LA gellan and κ-carrageenan samples showed the highest pepsin (73-74%) and trypsin (79-80%) digestibility.

Abstract
Until now, the detection methods for serine proteases have been quite time-consuming or cannot indicate the "real" protease activity. Here, a rapid and simple method for determining the "real" activity of serine proteases toward AAPX (a kind of mixed polypeptide substrates, with X representing 20 standard amino acids) was developed. This AAPX method has high reliability, sensitivity, and repeatability and can be used for detecting the serine protease activity spectrophotometrically. Additionally, the site-directed saturation mutagenesis library of alkaline serine protease PRO (BcPRO) from Bacillus clausii was screened with this AAPX method. Three beneficial mutants S99R, S99H, and S99W were identified, and S99W displayed the highest activity. In comparison to wild-type BcPRO, S99W exhibited enhanced catalytic performance toward eight AAPX monomers, and the molecular dynamics simulation revealed the mechanism responsible for its improved activity toward AAPM. Consequently, this work provides an efficient method for detecting, characterizing, mining, and high-throughput screening of serine proteases.

Abstract
Meat proteolytic systems play a crucial role in meat tenderisation. Understanding
the effects of processing technologies and post-mortem storage conditions on
these systems is important due to their crucial role in determining the quality
characteristics of meat and meat products. It has recently been proposed that
tenderisation occurs due to the synergistic action of numerous endogenous
proteolytic systems. There is strong evidence suggesting the importance of
μ-calpain during the initial post-mortem aging phase, while m-calpain may
have a role during long-term aging. The caspase proteolytic system is also a
candidate for cell degradation in the initial stages of conversion of muscle to
meat. The role of cathepsins, which are found in the lysosomes, in post-mortem
aging is controversial. Lysosomes need to be ruptured, through aging, or other
forms of processing to release cathepsins into the cytosol for participation in
proteolysis. A combination of optimum storage conditions along with suitable
processing may accelerate protease activity within meat, which can potentially
lead to improved meat tenderness. Processing technologies such as high pressure,
ultrasound, and shockwave processing have been reported to disrupt muscle
structure, which can facilitate proteolysis and potentially enhance the aging
process. This paper reviews the recent literature on the impacts of processing
technologies along with post-mortem storage conditions on the activities of
endogenous proteases in meat. The information provided in the review may be
helpful in selecting optimum post-mortem meat storage and processing conditions
to achieve improved muscle tenderness within shorter aging and cooking
times.

Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:635.

Abstract
This study investigated the influence of the production system (conventional vs. organic), the grass consumption level and the ageing period (7 and 14 days) on beef quality. Three groups of samples from Limousin × Avileña calves were analysed: F100, formed by animals fed 100% on forage; F74, formed by animals fed on an average amount of forage of 74%; and F35, formed by animals fed on straw fodder (35%) and concentrate (65%). The results showed that the higher the grass content, the lower the fat oxidation and the higher the n-3 content, but also the higher the SFA level, the initial Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), and the more residue it leaves on chewing. As for the effect of production system, organic samples showed higher intramuscular fat content and lower moisture and MUFA content. These samples were darker and showed lower values for flavour quality. Among the organic samples, F100 had higher n-3 and CLA content and higher values for colour, hardness, odour and flavour quality. Increased ageing time may improve the sensory characteristics of the meat, especially in the case of the F100 samples. The results pointed out that F100 samples aged at least 14 days showed the best physico-chemical, nutritional and sensory characteristics.
