Abstract
(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is remarkably efficacious in inhibiting the browning of red meat. We therefore propose a hypothesis that EGCG forms complexes with myoglobin, thereby stabilizing its structure and thus preventing browning. This study investigated the interaction mechanism between EGCG and myoglobin. EGCG induced static quenching of myoglobin. Noncovalent forces, including hydrogen bonds and van der Waals, primarily governing the interactions between myoglobin and EGCG. The interactions primarily disrupted myoglobin's secondary structure, thus significantly reducing surface hydrophobicity by 53% (P < 0.05). The modification augmented the solubility and thermal stability of myoglobin. The radius of gyration (Rg) value fluctuated between 1.47 and 1.54 nm, and the hydroxyl groups in EGCG formed an average of 2.93 hydrogen bonds with myoglobin. Our findings elucidated the formation of stable myoglobin-EGCG complexes and the myoglobin-EGCG interaction, thus confirming our initial hypothesis.

Abstract
The effect of low-voltage electrostatic field (LVEF) assisted -9 °C (LVEF-9) and -12 °C (LVEF-12) frozen, non-LVEF-assisted -9 °C (NLVEF-9) and -12 °C (NLVEF-12) frozen, and conventional frozen (CF-18, -18 °C) storage on the muscle microstructure and the oxidative denaturation of the lamb protein during the subsequent frozen storage process after finishing initial freezing was investigated. Compared with NLVEF-9, LVEF-9, and NLVEF-12, LVEF-12 maintained the better integrity of muscle microstructure, demonstrated by smaller holes, more complete Z-line and M-line, and no significant difference with CF-18 (P > 0.05). Furthermore, LVEF-12 effectively inhibited protein oxidative denaturation as shown by the lower carbonyl content, surface hydrophobicity, and higher total/active sulfhydryl groups and Ca2+-ATPase activity. Moreover, LVEF-12 effectively maintained the integrity of the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins, reduced cross-linking aggregation of proteins, and sustained better functional properties, as shown by higher α-helix content, fluorescence intensity, protein solubility, and lower R-value, disulfide bonds.

Effects of vitamin C combined with sodium alginate on serum biochemistry, oxidative stress, gill tissue morphology, and muscle quality of pearl gentian grouper during waterless transport. FISH PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY 2024; 50:495-512. [PMID: 38051410 DOI: 10.1007/s10695-023-01280-8] [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: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
This research examined the effects of sodium alginate (SA) and vitamin C (Vc) soaking of pearl gentian grouper before waterless transportation from the perspectives of serum parameters, oxidative stress, muscle quality, and gill tissue morphology. After the fish reached semi-dormancy with a cooling rate of 3 °C/h, fish (420 ± 25 g) were distributed to 4 treatments as follows: S1 group (50 mg/L Vc and 0.1% SA were added), S2 group (50 mg/L Vc and 0.3% SA were added), S3 group (50 mg/L Vc and 0.5% SA were added), and control group (without soaking in protective fluid). After oxygenated packaging, samples were taken at 0, 8, and 16 h of waterless transportation and 12 h after rehydration, respectively. It was found that after 16 h of waterless transport, compared with the control group, cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), creatinine (CREA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were significantly decreased (p < 0.05), while albumin, lysozyme (LZM), muscle pH, and total free amino acid (TFAA) contents were significantly elevated (p < 0.05) in the S3 group. Moreover, by gill tissue microscopy, it was found that the protective solution of group S3 did not cause serious deleterious morphological changes to the gill epithelium. The results showed that the grouper was soaked by protective fluid before waterless could maintain surface moisture, reduce gill and kidney function and oxidative stress damage, and maintain the stability of muscle quality. This study provides a novel transportation method for waterless preservation, which helps to reduce transportation costs and improve transportation efficiency.

Effects of slightly acidic electrolyzed water combined with ԑ-polylysine-chitooligosaccharide Maillard reaction products treatment on the quality of vacuum packaged sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicas). Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129554.

Abstract
In this study, a new natural preservative, ε-polylysine (ε-PL) and chitooligosaccharides (COS) Maillard reaction products (LC-MRPs), was prepared by Maillard reaction. The preservation effect of LC-MRPs combined with slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) pretreatment (SM) on vacuum-packed sea bass during refrigerated storage was evaluated. The results showed that after 16 days, SM treatment could effectively inhibit the microbial growth and prevent water migration in sea bass. In addition, the highest water holding capacity (69.79 %) and the best sensory characteristics, the lowest malonaldehyde (MDA) (58.96 nmol/g), trimethylamine (TMA) (3.35 mg/100 g), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) (16.93 mg N/100 g), myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) (92.2 %) and TCA-soluble peptides (2.16 μmol tyrosine/g meat) were related to SM group. Combined with sensory analysis, we can conclude that the combined treatment of SAEW and LC-MRPs could prolong the shelf-life of sea bass for another 11 days compared with the DW group. Results disclosed that the composite treatment of SAEW and LC-MRPs is a promising technology to improve the shelf-life of vacuum-packed sea bass during refrigerated storage.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to investigate the malondialdehyde-trapping ability by m-diphenols and the consequent decrease of malondialdehyde in foods. Olivetol was added to crackers, which were prepared with wheat flour and either oxidized or fresh sunflower, linseed, and camelina oils. When crackers were prepared with oxidized oils, olivetol-containing crackers contained less malondialdehyde (∼30%) than control crackers. This decrease of malondialdehyde content was parallel to the formation of malondialdehyde-olivetol adducts (250-1300 ng/g). When fresh oils were employed, storage produced more malondialdehyde (300-700%) in control than in olivetol-containing crackers. This decrease of malondialdehyde content was also parallel to the formation of malondialdehyde-olivetol adducts (10-90 ng/g). In both cases, the formation of adducts required the contribution of either formaldehyde or acetaldehyde. Obtained results suggest that olivetol not only removed malondialdehyde, but also short chain aldehydes, therefore contributing to the decrease of the content of these toxic aldehydes in phenolic-enriched crackers.

Abstract
The effect of 1.0 % (w/v) sodium alginate (SA) glazing on surface frost formation and the quality of frozen fish balls in repeated freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles was studied. The optimal glazing property of 1.0 % SA solution was manifested by high transmittance, excellent water resistance, and high ice glazing rate. After seven F-T cycles, compared with the control, the ice production, thawing loss, and total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) value of samples with 1.0 % ice glazing decreased by 28.30 %, 21.02 %, and 27.35 %, while the chewiness and whiteness were increased by 15.02 % and 10.40 %, respectively. Moreover, compared to the control, the microstructure of fish balls glazed with 1.0 % SA was smoother and more uniform, and the ice crystal diameter was smaller. Therefore, 1.0 % SA glazing effectively inhibits the formation of ice crystals, reducing water migration and loss while minimizing damage to the meat structure, thus enhancing the quality of meat products.

Abstract
The study aimed to assess the impact of different packaging methods on the moisture state, quality, and microbial composition of grouper fillets. The grouper fillets were packaged under the following four conditions: vacuum packaging (VP), 70% CO2/30% N2 (MAP1); 60% CO2/30% N2/10% O2 (MAP2); 40% CO2/30% N2/30% O2 (MAP3). Physicochemical and microbiological parameters were evaluated during 21 days of cold storage. The result demonstrated that MAP was effective in inhibiting microbial growth and accumulation of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), while also maintaining the water-holding capacity (WHC) of grouper fillets. Additionally, MAP1 effectively inhibited lipid and protein oxidation and protected the secondary structure of myofibrils compared to MAP2 and MAP3, with MAP1 samples having the lowest thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value (0.009-0.04 MDA/kg) and carbonyl content (0.20-0.26 μmol/g) and the highest sulfhydryl content (0.25-0.49 μmol/g) during cold storage. The results of high-throughput sequencing revealed that the presence of oxygen in the packaging system significantly influenced bacterial succession. Over time, Carnobacterium gradually became the dominant genera of fillets stored in MAP, and the presence of oxygen in MAP2 and MAP3 accelerated this transition by 9 days, compared to MAP1. In contrast, Enterobacteriaceae and Carnobacterium were the main dominant genera in VP. Remarkably, Enterobacteriaceae were virtually absent in MAP2 and MAP3 during storage, suggesting that the presence of oxygen exerted a significant inhibitory effect on Enterobacteriaceae. This study provides valuable insights into the application of MAP in the preservation of grouper fillets.

Abstract
Microorganisms, lipids, and proteins always interact in a complex way in the fish matrix, which becomes a hindrance to evaluate the quality of the individual factors affecting them. In order to investigate the relationship between protein deterioration and volatile compounds (VOCs) in grouper during cold storage, the myofibril protein (MP) was used as a single-factor study to exclude microorganisms and lipids effects. The oxidation and degradation of MP during storage at 4 ℃ were evaluated, including MP content, total sulfhydryl content, carbonyl content, spatial structure and microstructure. Headspace-solid phase microextraction- gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was used to analyze the VOCs of grouper MP, and a total of 7 key VOCs were selected, including three ketones (2-nonanone, 2-undecanone and 2-tridecanone), three esters (methyl butyrate, methyl palmitate and methyl ester 9-octadecenoic acid) and one alcohol (3-methyl-1-butanol). At the same time, a non-targeted metabolomics method based on UPLC-Q-Extractive Orbitrap was used to investigate the changes in metabolites during MP storage. A total of 107 up-regulated differential metabolites and 7 down-regulated metabolites were annotated, and 6 metabolic pathways highly related to proteins were screened. Spearman correlation analysis showed that 7 key VOCs are associated with the biosynthesis and metabolism of ornithine and lysine. And a possible solution to protein deterioration in grouper was proposed, which provided a reference for improving protein quality and regulating flavor formation during cold storage of grouper at source.

Abstract
Post-mortem muscle biochemical processes play a crucial role on fish fillets quality and they are strictly linked to stunning methods. The improper stunning methods before slaughter could cause the fish to deteriorate more quickly during cold storage. This study aimed to investigate the effect of stunning methods (hit on the head, T1; gill cut, T2; immersion in ice/water slurry, T3; CO2 narcosis, T4; 40% CO2 + 30 % N2 + 30% O2, T5) on myofibrillar proteins (MPs) of large yellow croaker. The results indicated that T2 and T3 samples were significantly damaged compared with other samples, which reflected that the activities of total superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were significantly damaged during cold storage in T2 and T3 samples. And the gill cut and immersion in ice/water slurry resulted in the generation of protein carbonyl, the decrease of Ca2+-ATPase, free ammonia and protein solubility, and the production of dityrosine during storage. In addition, MPs gel of T2 and T3 samples showed the decrease of water hold capacity (WHC) and whiteness, structure destruction, and water migration. The T4 samples had the least damage of MPs and gel structure during cold storage.

Abstract
Herein, the protective pattern of bilayer film on the texture stability of fillets was discussed in terms of endogenous enzyme activity, as well as protein oxidation and degradation. The texture properties of fillets wrapped with nanoparticles (NPs) bilayer film were greatly improved. NPs film delayed protein oxidation by inhibiting the formation of disulfide bond and carbonyl group as evidenced by the increase of α-helix ratio (43.02%) and the decrease of random coil ratio (15.87%). The protein degradation degree of fillets treated with NPs film was lower than that of control group, specifically with a more regular protein structure. The exudates accelerated the degradation of protein, while NPs film effectively absorbed exudates to delay protein degradation. Overall, the active agents in the film were released into the fillets to play an antioxidant and antibacterial roles, and the inner layer of film could absorb exudates, thus maintaining the texture characteristics of fillets.

Abstract
In this study, the comparison effects of ultrasound-assisted immersion freezing (UIF) at different ultrasonic power, immersion freezing (IF), and air freezing (AF) on the protein thermal stability, protein structure, and physicochemical properties of adductor muscle of scallop (Argopecten irradians) (AMS) during frozen storage were investigated. Principal component analysis and the Taylor diagram were used to comprehensively analyze all the indicators tested. The results showed that the UIF at 150 W (UIF-150) treatment was the most effective way to delay the quality deterioration of AMS during 90-day frozen storage. This was mainly because, compared to AF and IF treatments, UIF-150 treatment more effectively minimized the changes in the primary, secondary and tertiary structures of myofibrillar proteins, and it preserved the protein thermal stability of AMS by producing small and regular ice crystals in the AMS tissue during the freezing process. Moreover, the results of physicochemical properties indicated that UIF-150 treatment significantly inhibited the fat oxidation and microbiological activities of frozen AMS, and it finally maintained the microstructure and texture of AMS during frozen storage. Overall, UIF-150 has potential industrial application prospects in the rapid freezing and quality preservation of scallops.

[PMID: 35996024 DOI: 10.1007/s00284-022-02978-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
The study was to evaluate the antimicrobial impacts and biofilm influences on epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) against Shewanella putrefaciens ATCC 8071. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of EGCG on S. putrefaciens was 160 μg mL-1. The growth curve exhibited that EGCG had a good antimicrobial activity. EGCG caused damages to the bacterial cell wall and membrane based the intracellular component leakage and cell viability analysis. The damage to the membrane integrity by EGCG has been confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). SEM shows deformation of shape, TEM shows cell membrane and wall damage, and the leakage of cytoplasmic material. The treatment with EGCG at 0.25× and 0.5× MIC resulted in decreased motility and elevated levels of oxidative stress, leading to an increase in biofilm formation. These results demonstrated that EGCG may be used as a natural preservative to reduce S. putrefaciens in fish during cold storage.
