Abstract
The influence of Eleutherine bulbosa (EB) extract at various levels (1, 4, 7, 10 or 13 g/kg) on the myofibrillar protein oxidation and moisture migration of yak meat in Fenton oxidation system was investigated. The results showed that inclusion of EB extract in yak meat efficiently inhibited carbonyl formation triggered by hydroxyl radicals. Supplementation of EB extract at 1–10 g/kg manifested more contents of the active sulfhydryl, ε-NH2 groups and α-helix structure, and higher solubility of myofibrillar proteins (MPs), but alleviated the turbidity of MPs. However, adding high level of EB extract (13 g/kg) induced the loss of free amine and α-helix content and resulted in more aggregation of MPs. The SDS-PAGE demonstrated that adding 1–7 g/kg EB extract had an obvious protective effect for myosin heavy chain and actin, whereas 10 or 13 g/kg EB extract led to weakened intensities of protein bands. DSC and LF-NMR analysis revealed that 7 g/kg EB extract had appreciable effects on thermal stabilities of MPs, and improved the hydration of yak meat induced by oxidation, while 13 g/kg EB extract accelerated MP structure destabilization and lowered water retention. Our results suggested that incorporation of low levels of EB extract (1–7 g/kg) effectively retarded the oxidative damage to MPs and EB extract could be a promising natural antioxidant in meat processing.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Meat Science is to serve as a suitable platform for the dissemination of interdisciplinary and international knowledge on all factors influencing the properties of meat. While the journal primarily focuses on the flesh of mammals, contributions related to poultry will be considered if they enhance the overall understanding of the relationship between muscle nature and meat quality post mortem. Additionally, papers on large birds (e.g., emus, ostriches) as well as wild-captured mammals and crocodiles will be welcomed.
