[PMID: 38788639 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139704] [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: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of ultrasound-assisted dry-curing (UADC) on water holding capacity (WHC) and tenderness of pork at different powers and times, and the mechanism was discussed by considering the functional and structural properties of salt-soluble proteins (SSP). The results showed the application of appropriate UADC treatments (300 W, 60 min) have disruptively affected the muscle structure and decreased the size of the SSP particles (P < 0.05), resulting in the increased concentration of active sulfhydryl and surface hydrophobicity (P < 0.05). These modifications facilitated the dissociation of the myofibrillar structure and the dissolution of more connected proteins, which in turn improved the WHC and tenderness of the pork (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, extended periods of high-power UADC treatments negatively affected the WHC and tenderness of dry-cured pork (P < 0.05). In general, using SSP modified by UADC provides a novel strategy for enhancing the WHC and tenderness of dry-cured products.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:6242-6251. [PMID: 38456730 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The pickling process with NaCl is an essential step for pork preservation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different ultrasonic intensities of tri-frequency simultaneous ultrasound (TSIU) pickling on the NaCl content and quality of pork (longissimus dorsi). After 30 min pickling, the NaCl content, moisture content, pickling yield, cooking loss, textural properties, color, pH, moisture migration and distribution as well as microstructure of pork were assessed. RESULTS Results showed that among all the ultrasonic treatment intensities (85-150 W L-1), the NaCl content of the sample pickled by an intensity of 101.3 W L-1 was higher than that of other intensities. TSIU 101.3 W L-1 showed 59.95% higher NaCl content than the control sample. In addition, the sample treated with TSIU of 101.3 W L-1 had higher pickling yield and moisture content, better textural properties of pork (including hardness and chewiness), and less cooking loss. The results of the low-field nuclear magnetic resonance showed that, compared with the control group, the relaxation time T21 of the ultrasound-assisted pickling samples increased, while the proportion of T22 (A22) reduction ranged from 175.0% to 379.9%. The microstructure designated that the ultrasonic treatment could facilitate changes in meat texture. CONCLUSION Ultrasound marination of different intensities promoted the diffusion of NaCl and affected the quality of pork tenderloins. The TSIU at 101.3 W L-1 could better accelerate NaCl transport and homogeneous distribution on meat, thereby improving the sample quality. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

J Food Sci 2024; 89:4162-4177. [PMID: 38795377 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/27/2024]
Abstract
This paper aimed to investigate the effects of ultrasound-assisted L-lysine treatment on meat quality and myofibrillar proteins (MPs) properties of pork longissimus dorsi during postmortem aging. The results revealed that the L-lysine (Lys) and/or ultrasound treatment significantly increased (p < 0.05) the water-holding capacity and tenderness of the pork during postmortem aging, while the ultrasound-assisted Lys treatment had the lowest cooking loss, pressurization loss, Warner-Bratzler shear force, and hardness. In addition, L-lysine and/or ultrasound treatment increased (p < 0.05) pH value, T21, and myofibrillar fragmentation index, while the ultrasound-assisted Lys treatment had the highest value. Meanwhile, the protein solubility was increased with Lys and/or ultrasound treatment during postmortem aging, and ultrasound-assisted Lys treatment had the highest solubility, reaching 88.19%, 92.98%, and 91.73% at 0, 1, and 3 days, respectively. The result of protein conformational characteristics showed that Lys and/or ultrasound treatment caused the unfolding of the α-helix structure, resulting in the exposure of more hydrophobic amino acids and buried sulfhydryl groups, ultimately enhancing MPs solubility. In summary, ultrasound-assisted Lys treatment altered the structure of MPs, resulting in the enhancement of the water-holding capacity and tenderness of the pork. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study showed that ultrasound-assisted L-lysine (Lys) treatment could enhance the water-holding capacity and tenderness of pork during postmortem aging. The results might provide a reference for the application of ultrasound-assisted Lys treatment on the improvement of pork meat quality. To facilitate practical applications in production, the development of medium and large-sized ultrasound equipment for conducting small-scale and pilot experiments is crucial for future research.

Abstract
Dried-bonito (Katsuobushi) exhibits a unique uniform "glass-like" texture after traditional smoke-drying. Herein, we developed a novel processing method for dried-bonito and elucidated the mechanism of transformation of loose muscle into a "glass-like" texture in terms of texture, microstructure, and protein properties. Our findings showed that the unfolding and aggregation of proteins after thermal induction was a key factor in shaping the "glass-like" texture in bonito muscle. During processing, myofibrils aggregated, the originally alternating thick and thin filaments contracted laterally and aligned into a straight line, and protein cross-linking increased. Secondary structural analysis revealed a reduction in unstable β-turn content from 26.28% to 15.06%. Additionally, an increase in the content of SS bonds was observed, and the conformation changed from g-g-t to a stable g-g-g conformation, enhanced protein conformational stability. Taken together, our findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the mechanism of formation of the uniform "glass-like" texture in dried-bonito.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complex phosphates (CP) can improve the physicochemical properties and gelation properties of myofibrillar fibrous protein (MP) in mixed meat products, but an excessive intake of phosphates over a long period of time is harmful to health. The present study investigated the effects of partial or complete substitution of CP with sodium bicarbonate (SB) on the physicochemical properties and gel properties of beef-pork-chicken mixed myofibrillar protein (BPC-MP), aiming to evaluate the feasibility of this method in reducing the amount of phosphate in mixed meat products. RESULTS Under the optimal substitution conditions, the turbidity of BPC-MP was reduced by 37.8%, the net negative potential was increased by 28.9% and the modulus of elasticity (G') was increased. The tertiary structure indexes of protein (including fluorescence intensity, surface hydrophobicity and active thiol content) were significantly changed, whereas the α-helix and β-turn angle contents in the secondary structure of protein were significantly increased. In addition, the water retention ability and strength of gel were also improved, which were increased by 20.7% and 42.6%, respectively. The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that the SB substitution group had a more compact and ordered microstructure. CONCLUSION The results showed that partial substitution of CP with SB reduced the amount of phosphate added to BPC-MP and had a positive effect on the physicochemical and gel properties of BPC-MP. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Yuan J, Yang C, Cao J, Zhang L. Effects of Low Temperature-Ultrasound-Papain (LTUP) Combined Treatments on Purine Removal from Pork Loin and Its Influence on Meat Quality and Nutritional Value. Foods 2024; 13:1215. [PMID: 38672887 PMCID: PMC11048761 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
A combined pretreatment method of "low temperature-ultrasound-papain" (LTUP) was proposed to remove the purine of pork loins. Compared with untreated pork loin, under optimal conditions (temperature 58 °C, ultrasound density 100 W/cm2, and papain concentration 0.085%), the purine removal rate of treated pork loin could reach 59.29 ± 1.39%. The meat quality of pork loin treated with the LTUP method such as hardness and chewiness decreased by 58.37% and 64.38%, respectively, and the in vitro protein digestibility was increased by 19.64%; the cooking loss was decreased by 15.45%, compared with the simulated household blanching process (HT). In view of the high purine removal rate, the losses of free amino acids and soluble peptides were acceptable and reasonable. SEM and LF-NMR results showed that low temperature and ultrasound combined with papain treatment opened a channel for purine transfer and promoted purine dissolution by affecting the protein structure of pork loin. In addition, the migration of water within the muscle tissue was also related to purine removal. In summary, LTUP is recommended as an efficient and green way for the meat industry to remove purine.

Abstract
The influences of various m-γ-PGA (0.08-0.20%, w/w) concentrations on the properties of minced beef meat paste in terms of rheological properties, texture, moisture distribution, and microstructures were evaluated. The results indicated that m-γ-PGA enhanced the water-holding capacity, gel strength, texture, and whiteness of the minced beef meat paste. Based on the microstructural results, m-γ-PGA helped form a more organized and compact gel, thereby limiting the migration of water through the gel matrix. In contrast to the control group, the water-holding property, gel strength, and whiteness of minced meat paste gels with m-γ-PGA content of 0.12% increased from 75.89%, 584.51 g·cm, and 61.83 to 79.91%, 780.87 g·cm, and 62.54, respectively (p < 0.05), exhibiting the highest water-holding property and gel strength. Thus, m-γ-PGA exhibits great potential for minced meat paste products as a healthy gel water retainer and enhancer in low-fat meat products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temperature, which affects numerous physiological processes, has been described as the 'main ecological factor' for fish. The aim of this modeling study is to explore the impact of climate-induced temperature changes on fish fillet quality and shelf life. RESULTS Temperature stress in rainbow trout affected ash and moisture, and inhibited myofibril fragmentation in the fillets. However, with the increase in temperature, there was a decrease in the total amount of saturated fatty acids (∑SFA) and there were significant increases in the total amount of omega 3 (∑n3) and 22:6n-3 (DHA). It was determined that temperature increase had a negative effect on color, texture, water-holding capacity, water activity, pH, lactic acid, and glycogen levels in fillets, and it had a positive effect by delaying microbial spoilage, especially in cold storage. CONCLUSION This study suggest that the effects of climate change on product quality and shelf life in fish requires further research. It highlights knowledge gaps to guide future research in this emerging field. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Effects and mechanisms of different κ-carrageenan incorporation forms and ionic strength on the physicochemical and gelling properties of myofibrillar protein. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128659.

Abstract
The present work was aimed to investigate the effects of incorporating κ-carrageenan into myofibrillar protein (MP) as a dry powder (CP) or water suspension (CW) and the ionic strength (0.3 or 0.6 M sodium chloride (NaCl)) on MP physicochemical and gelling properties. The results indicated that incorporation of either CP or CW significantly increased turbidity, surface hydrophobicity, particle size and rheological behaviour of MP. In contrast, the protein solubility and fluorescence intensity of MP decreased when added with each form of κ-carrageenan (P < 0.05). These observed effects improved MP's gelling properties and produced a more compact and homogenous gel network after heating treatment. Moreover, the addition of CW rendered higher gel strength, water holding capacity and intermolecular interactions, such as ionic, hydrogen and disulphide bonds and hydrophobic interactions in MP gel compared with those added with CP, especially for 0.3 M NaCl (P < 0.05). Furthermore, addition of CW significantly decreased the α-helix content of MP gels (P < 0.05), which mainly contributing to the transformation from a random structure to an organised configuration. In addition, a higher NaCl concentration (0.6 M) enhanced the gelling properties of MP gels compared with 0.3 M NaCl concentration in the presence of each form of κ-carrageenan. Therefore, our present study indicated that incorporation form of κ-carrageenan and ionic strength have distinctive effects on regulating physicochemical characteristics and improves gelling properties of MP.

Abstract
The structural properties and emulsification of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) are susceptibly affected by salt ions. The effect of different salt ions on the structural properties and emulsification of MPs from hairtail (Trichiurus haumela) remains unclear. Hairtail MPs were analyzed under different ion treatments of Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+. MPs at K+ and Na+ treatment showed a similar trend on salt effect due to the unfolding of proteins under salt ions. However, the excessive electrostatic effect of divalent ions could enhance protein aggregation, especially at Ca2+ and Mg2+. The β-sheet of MPs at different salt ions interconverted with α-helix and random coil at ionic strengths from 0.1 mol/L to 1.0 mol/L. The surface hydrophobicity and active sulfhydryl content of MPs increased with the improvement of ionic strengths at 0-0.8 mol/L. Under Ca2+ and Mg2+ treatments, the turbidity of MPs was low compared to that under the treatment of Na+ and K+. Additionally, the emulsification of hairtail MPs treated with different ions was improved at an ionic strength of 0.6 mol/L. This study can contribute to using salts in constructing fish protein-based emulsions for manufacturing emulsified surimi products and promoting the development and utilization of hairtail proteins.

Gong H, Jang J, Deng Y, Ma J, Zhang Y, Zhou Y, Zhang Y, Sun W. Effect and mechanism of DC magnetic field combined with calcium chloride on saltiness and flavor enhancement of low salt pork gel. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113235. [PMID: 37803549 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113235] [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: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
This study intended to investigate the synergistic effect of direct current magnetic field (DC-MF) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) on improving the saltiness and quality of pork gel and to explore the potential adjustment mechanisms involved. Pork mince was subjected to low-salt treatment of DC-MF for 3 h (T1), CaCl2 substitution (T2) or DC-MF combined with CaCl2 (T3) respectively under high and low salt controls (HC and LC). Heat-induced gels of pork mince were prepared and analyzed in terms of gel texture, saltiness perception, moisture status, salt release and protein structure. Results indicated that DC-MF combined with CaCl2 treatment could reduce the addition of sodium chloride by 5% while maintaining the saltiness and overall acceptability of mince as well as improving its texture and yield. Further studies revealed that DC-MF in concert with CaCl2 treatment could not only increase the moisture content of mince gel, but also enhance saltiness perception by causing gel matrix to release salt-bearing juices under external forces. The energy spectrum analysis also illustrated that co-treatment technique could avoid the salt loss of minced meat during cooking process. Finally, a possible potential regulatory mechanism was speculated that the synergistic action of DC-MF and CaCl2 could alter the gel texture and sodium salt availability by modifying protein conformation and inducing a competitive binding reaction site for calcium and sodium ions. In conclusion, synergistic treatment by DC-MF and CaCl2 was a potential strategy in meat salt reduction.

Abstract
The effects on the quality of loin ham from using wet-aging with a commercial refrigerator (CR) and with a pulsed electric field system refrigerator (PEFR, at 0 and - 1 °C) were compared. The CR sample recorded an increased cooking loss alongside a decrease in color stability and shear force. In contrast, the samples using PEFR observed improved color stability, water holding capacity, and weight loss. In electronic nose analysis, wet-aging samples were shown to be significantly different from raw meat samples, however, the use of PEFR did not significantly affect the flavor. In electronic tongue analysis, wet-aging was observed to increase the umami of the loin ham, whilst the PEFR - 1 °C sample showed the highest umami. In sensory evaluation, the PEFR 0 °C sample showed significantly higher overall acceptability than raw meat. Conclusively, the application of wet-aging with PEFR in the manufacturing of loin ham led to an improvement in quality.

Abstract
To improve the limitation of transglutaminase on the quality of myofibrillar protein (MP) gel, this study investigated the synergistic effect of ultrasonic pretreatment in combination with carrageenan on the gel properties of transglutaminase-mediated MP gels. The synergistic effect generated gel with lower surface hydrophobicity and fluorescence intensity. Combined with the secondary structure results, it can be hypothesized that the synergistic effect caused the rearrangement of the proteins and the formation of aggregates wrapping hydrophobic groups, which changed the structure and phase behavior of the proteins. The synergistic effect also improved the formation of dense and interpenetrating gel networks, which reduced cooking loss and produced composite MP gels with optimal gel strength. Moreover, FTIR spectroscopy revealed the presence of electrostatic interactions in the hybrid gel system. This study provides a theoretical basis and experimental foundation for the effective use of high-tech composite functional components to improve the quality of gel products.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of ultrasound treatment on the quality of salted Culter alburnus fish. The results showed that with the increasing ultrasound power, the structural degradation of muscle fibers was intensified, and the conformation of myofibrillar protein was significantly changed. The high-power ultrasound treatment group (300 W) had relatively higher thiobarbiturate reactive substance content (0.37 mg malondialdehyde eq/kg) and peroxidation value (0.63 mmol/kg). A total of 66 volatile compounds were identified with obvious differences among groups. The 200 W ultrasound group exhibited fewer fishy substances (Hexanal, 1-Pentene-3-ol, and 1-Octane-3-ol). Compared with control group, ultrasound groups (200, 300 W) contained more umami taste-related amino peptides such as γ-Glu-Met, γ-Glu-Ala, and Asn-pro. In the ultrasound treatment group, L-isoleucine and L-methionine, which may be used as flavor precursors, were significantly down-regulated, while carbohydrates and its metabolites were up-regulated. Amino acid, carbohydrate, and FA (fatty acyls) metabolism products in salted fish were enriched by ultrasound treatment, and those products might ultimately be related to the taste and flavor of salted fish.

Abstract
For the development of healthier meat products, the grafted myofibrillar protein was evaluated as an ingredient that can substitute phosphate in brined loin. Individual brine solutions, consisting of salt (negative control, NP), salt + sodium tripolyphosphate (positive control, PC), salt + myofibrillar protein without grafting (MP), salt + myofibrillar protein grafted at high concentration (GMP-H), and salt + myofibrillar protein grafted at low concentration (GMP-L), were added to the pork loin by 40% of their weight. Differential scanning calorimetry demonstrated that MP and GMP-H lowered the thermal energy for the transition of myosin and actin, thereby improving the thermal stability of pork loin and increasing protein solubility. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed that thicker protein bands appeared in MP and GMP-H samples while exhibiting increased pH values, moisture content, water holding capacity, and processing yield. Accordingly, the shear force of MP and GMP-H decreased. Lipid oxidation of pork loin was increased in MP, whereas it decreased in GMP-H. Thus, GMP-L is a potential substitute for phosphate since it improves physicochemical properties and prevents the lipid oxidation of pork loin.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the sono-physico-chemical effects of ultrasound (UND) and its impact on the conjugate rates of morin (MOI) following the addition of polysaccharides in various conditions. In comparison to the control group, the incorporation of quaternary ammonium chitosan decreased the rate of MOI conjugation by 17.38%, but the addition of locust bean gum enhanced the grafting rate by 29.89%. Notably, the highest degree of myofibrillar protein (MRN) unfolding (fluorescence intensity: 114435.50), the most stable state (-44.98 mV), and the greatest specific surface area (393.06 cm2/cm3) were observed in the UMP/LBG group. The outcomes of atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy revealed that the inclusion of locust bean gum led to a different microscopic morphology than the other two polysaccharides, which may be the primary cause of the strongest sono-physico-chemical effects of the system. This work demonstrated that acoustic settings can be tuned based on the characteristics of polysaccharides to maximize the advantages of sono-physico-chemical impacts in UND-assisted MOI processing.

Abstract
The study was proposed to investigate the effects of pulsed pressure curing on the beef absorption of the curing solution, cooking loss, moisture content, centrifugal loss, salt content, sensory attributes, texture, microstructures and volatile compounds. Curing methods include the following four treatments: (1) control group 1-static curing (SC); (2) control group 2-vacuum curing (VC); (3) control group 3-pressurized curing (PC); and (4) treatment group-pulsed pressure curing (PPC). The acquired results revealed that pulsed pressure curing significantly boosts the curing efficiency and moisture content, decreases cooking loss in beef, brightens meat color, and enhances texture compared to static curing, vacuum curing, and pressurized curing. Additionally, centrifugal losses were not impaired, and sensory findings revealed that PPC significantly improved the saltiness of beef. TPA results showed that the springiness and cohesiveness of PPC were greatly increased, and hardness and chewiness were significantly reduced. Moreover, PPC significantly reduced the content of 1-octen-3-ol and 1-hexanol. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images documented that pulsed pressure curing can effectively increase the tenderness of beef. This study demonstrates that processed meat product efficiency and sensory attributes should be taken into account when selecting a curing technique, and the PPC technique has an advantage in both areas.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to explore the different hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) times (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 min; power 550 W, pressure 0.14 MPa) on the emulsifying properties of tilapia myofibrillar protein (TMP). Results of pH, particle size, turbidity, solubility, surface hydrophobicity, and reactive sulfhydryl (SH) group indicated that HC changed the structure of TMP, as confirmed by the findings of intrinsic fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Furthermore, HC increased the emulsifying activity index (EAI) significantly (P < 0.05) and changed the emulsifying stability index (ESI), droplet size, and rheology of TMP emulsions. Notably, compared with control group, the 10-min HC significantly decreased particle size and turbidity but increased solubility (P < 0.05), resulting in accelerated diffusion of TMP in the emulsion. The prepared TMP emulsion showed the highest ESI (from 71.28 ± 5.50 to 91.73 ± 5.56 min), the smallest droplet size (from 2,754 ± 110 to 2,138 ± 182 nm) and the best rheological properties, as demonstrated by the microstructure photographs. Overall, by showing the effect of HC in improving the emulsifying properties of TMP, the study demonstrated HC as a potential technique for meat protein processing.

Abstract
This study focused on how different concentrations of tea branch liquid smoke (TLS) in the curing solution impacted the physicochemical properties and antioxidant properties of pork tenderloin. Five experimental (1.25 mL/kg, 2.5 mL/kg, 5 mL/kg, 10 mL/kg, 20 mL/kg) and blank groups set up over 4 days, and it was found that the physicochemical indexes, antioxidant capacity, thermal stability and protein network structure of the cured meat using 5 mL/kg of liquid smoke were excellent than the other groups used (P < 0.05). However, concentrations at 20 mL/kg accelerated protein oxidation. Low frequency nuclear magnetic resonance (LFNHR) revealed that TLS also improved the water holding capacity of the cured meat by increasing the percentage of bound water. Additionally, the correlation analysis demonstrated that the inoxidizability of myofibrillar protein was significantly related to cooking loss and water distribution, which were adjusted by changing the usage of liquid smoke.

Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr 2022; 64:5220-5241.

Abstract
Traditional processing methods can no longer meet the demands of consumers for high-quality muscle food. As a green and non-thermal processing technology, ultrasound has the advantage of improving processing efficiency and reducing processing costs. Of these, the positive effect of power ultrasound in the processing of muscle foods is noticeable. Based on the action mechanism of ultrasound, the factors affecting the action of ultrasound are analyzed. On this basis, the effect of ultrasound technology on muscle food quality and its action mechanism and application status in processing operations (freezing-thawing, tenderization, marination, sterilization, drying, and extraction) is discussed. The transient and steady-state effects, mechanical effects, thermal effects, and chemical effects can have an impact on processing operations through complex correlations, such as improving the efficiency of mass and heat transfer. Ultrasound technology has been proven to be valuable in muscle food processing, but inappropriate ultrasound treatment can also have adverse effects on muscle foods. In the future, kinetic models are expected to be an effective tool for investigating the application effects of ultrasound in food processing. Additionally, the combination with other processing technologies can facilitate their intensive application on an industrial level to overcome the disadvantages of using ultrasound technology alone.

A comparative study of vacuum tumbling and immersion marination on quality, microstructure, and protein changes of Xueshan chicken. Front Nutr 2022; 9:1064521.

Abstract
Marination is a common technology in meat processing with advantages of enhancing tenderness, water retention, and overall quality. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of vacuum tumbling and immersion marination on meat quality, microstructure, water mobility, protein changes, and denaturation of Xueshan chicken. Results showed that vacuum tumbling significantly increased the marinating rate of chicken, tenderness, meat texture, and water retention. Meanwhile, vacuum tumbling decreased total sulfhydryl content alongside an increased protein surface hydrophobicity and free sulfhydryl content, indicating that vacuum tumbling elevated the degree of protein denaturation. Further, the peak area corresponding to the relaxation time T22 after vacuum tumbling was significantly higher than that of immersion marination, suggesting that the stability of the immobilized water of chicken was reduced by vacuum tumbling. Compared to immersion marination, vacuum tumbling improved myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) presenting fewer myofibrillar protein bands in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gel and more damaged muscular cells. Overall, vacuum tumbling could improve the marination absorptivity, protein degradation, and denaturation, resulting in changes in myofibril structure and meat quality of Xueshan chicken.

Konjac glucomannan improves the gel properties of low salt myofibrillar protein through modifying protein conformation. Food Chem 2022; 393:133400. [PMID: 35688089 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.133400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Improving the characteristics of low salt proteins is the key to the gel properties of low-salt meat products which are demanded by people nowadays. The present study focused on the effects of KGM concentrations on the changes in structure and gelling properties of low-salt myofibrillar protein (MP). KGM addition (≤0.75 %) irrespective of salt concentration modified secondary and tertiary structures of MPs, enhanced the binding capacity of Troponin-T and Tropomyosin, augmented the gelling behavior of proteins, and remarkably improved the storage modulus (G') and gel strength of heat-induced MP gels. Interestingly, KGM addition in low salt condition showed the transformation of the all-gauche SS conformation into gauche-gauche-trans and trans-gauche-trans, and the partial transformation of α-helices into β-sheets. overall, KGM modified the structure of low salt MPs and thus improved the gel properties of low salt MPs. Therefore, KGM is recommended for low-salt meat processing to enhance the MP gelling potential.

Abstract
This work aimed to explore the influence of four different cooking methods (Boiling, roasting, frying, and microwaving) on the sensory characteristics of scallop muscles. Headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and electronic nose (e-nose) were combined to analyze the aroma of scallops. Combined with the results of free amino acids and electronic tongue (e-tongue), the taste changes of different samples were analyzed. Furthermore, texture profile and microstructure analysis jointly showed the influence of cooking methods on texture. The results showed that frying was the most suitable cooking method for scallop muscle because it resulted the best tasted products, boiled scallops retain the highest similarity to fresh scallops. Besides, a higher level of lipid oxidation and Maillard reaction resulted in significant increase in aldehydes, ketones, furans, umami, and sweet amino acid. For the boiled sample, the loss of water-soluble compounds and less fat oxidation resulted in fewer flavor substances and free amino acids, along with looser organizational structure and poorer sensory quality. The research showed that besides the texture of scallop muscle, volatile organic compounds and free amino acids as well as their mutual roles in taste and smell were also important to sensory receptivity.
