[PMID: 34291209 PMCID: PMC8277181 DOI: 10.5851/kosfa.2021.e27] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
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.

Abstract
Meat is a valuable protein source with a balanced composition of essential amino acids and various nutrients. This review aims to identify methods to improve digestion of meat proteins, as well as evaluate the digestive characteristics of infants and the elderly. Immature digestive conditions in infants, including a high gastric pH and low protease concentration, can hinder protein digestion, thus resulting in inhibited growth and development. Likewise, gastrointestinal (GI) tract aging and chronic health problems, including tooth loss and atrophic gastritis, can lead to reduction in protein digestion and absorption in the elderly compared with those in young adults. Moderate heating and several non-thermal technologies, such as aging, enzymatic hydrolysis, ultrasound, high-pressure processing, and pulsed electric field can alter protein structure and improve protein digestion in individuals with low digestive capacity.

Abstract
The intermediate filament protein, desmin, was purified from pork longissimus dorsi and incubated with either μ-calpain, m-calpain or cathepsin B. Proteolysis of desmin was followed using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. After incubation of desmin with the proteases, cleavage sites on the desmin molecule were identified by N-terminal sequencing of the different proteolytic fragments. Desmin incubated with either m-calpain or μ-calpain was primarily cleaved in the head and tail region leaving the rod domain relatively intact even after prolonged incubation. Incubation with cathepsin B produces a sequential C-terminal degradation pattern characteristic of this dipeptylpeptidase. The substrate primary structure was not found to be essential for regulation of the proteolytic activity of the cysteine peptidases studied. However, the degradation patterns obtained imply that calpains are involved in degradation of desmin early post-mortem, targeting the non-helical region of the desmin molecule and resulting in depolymerisation and initial disorganisation of the intermediate filament structures of the muscle cell.
