Abstract
Generally, high levels of natural phenolic antioxidants, which are needed in meat products to exert equivalent antioxidant effects as synthetic antioxidants, can interact with myofibrillar proteins and cause aggregation of the proteins, giving rise to undesirable deterioration of gel quality. In this study, β-cyclodextrin-metal-organic frameworks (K-β-CD-MOFs) were synthesized based on β-CD and K+ ions using methanol vapor diffusion method, and used to inhibit excessive covalent and non-covalent interactions between gallic acid (GA) and myofibrillar proteins under oxidative stress without degrading the phenolic antioxidant activity. Results of zeta potential, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) provided evidence for the formation of GA/K-β-CD-MOFs inclusion complexes. From sulfydryl content, surface hydrophobicity, tryptophan fluorescence, turbidity and particle size analyses, the presence of K-β-CD-MOFs dose-dependently prevented the sulfydryl loss, unfolding of the proteins and formation of insoluble aggregates caused by GA (180 μM/g protein). Dynamic rheology, cooking loss, gel strength, water distribution, microstructure and Raman spectrum were further tested to evaluate effects of K-β-CD-MOFs on the qualities of GA-treated myofibrillar protein gel. Results indicated that more proteins were involved in the formation of a more ordered and homogeneous gel structure with higher gel elasticity and strength, more immobilized water and decreased cooking loss. The overall gel properties of myofibrillar proteins were improved. K-β-CD-MOFs ameliorated the instability of protein structure, manifested as increase in β-sheet content and inter-chain hydrogen bonding and decrease in hydrophobic forces (p < 0.05). This paper provides a novel method to increase the loading amount of phenolic antioxidants without jeopardizing the gel quality of meat products.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
