Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of five thawing methods (air thawing (AT), water thawing (WT), plasma-activated water thawing (PT), ultrasound-assisted water thawing (UWT) and ultrasound-assisted plasma-activated water thawing (UPT)) on the physicochemical, thermal stability, rheological, and structural properties of porcine longissimus dorsi myofibrillar protein (MP). UPT treatment significantly improved protein solubility (73.10%) and reduced protein turbidity (0.123) compared with AT, WT, and PT treatments (P < 0.05). UPT treatment reduced the MP particle size (635.50 nm) and zeta potential (−6.38 mV) compared with AT and WT treatments (P < 0.05), which was closer to that of the fresh sample. UPT treatment also maintained the MP surface hydrophobicity and thermal stability. UPT treatment improved the MP rheological properties of the sample. In addition, UPT treatment effectively protected the MP secondary and tertiary structures. In conclusion, UPT treatment better maintained the MP physicochemical, thermal stability, rheological, and structural properties of thawed porcine longissimus dorsi. Therefore, UPT treatment can be considered as an effective thawing method.
