Food Chem 2024; 441:138259. [PMID: 38185047 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the cryoprotective properties of proline (1% and 3% (w/v)) on shrimp. The cryoprotective mechanism was studied using physico-chemical experiments and molecular simulations. Proline had a notable positive impact on the thawing loss and texture of shrimp in comparison to the control. The denaturation of myosin in frozen shrimp was delayed by proline. Microscopy analysis demonstrated that proline effectively lowered the harm caused by ice crystals to shrimp muscle. Molecular simulations indicated that proline potentially exerted a cryoprotective effect primarily through the "water substitution" and "glassy state" hypotheses. Proline formed hydrogen bonds with myosin to replace the water molecules around myosin. Additionally, proline interacted with water molecules to form a glassy state, impeding the growth of ice crystals. Consequently, the stability of shrimp myosin was enhanced during freezing. In conclusion, proline demonstrated promise as an efficacious cryoprotectant for aquatic products.

Effects of different electrostatic field intensities assisted controlled freezing point storage on water holding capacity of fresh meat during the early postmortem period. Food Chem 2024; 439:138096.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of different intensity electrostatic fields on the water holding capacity (WHC) of fresh meat during the early postmortem period in controlled freezing point storage (CFPS) were investigated. Significantly lower cooking loss were found in low voltage electrostatic field (LVEF) and high voltage electrostatic field (HVEF) compared to the control group (CK) (p < 0.05). The myofibril fragmentation index and microstructure results suggested that the sample under HVEF treatment remained relatively intact. It has been revealed that the changes in actomyosin properties under electrostatic field treatment groups were due to the combination and dissociation of actomyosin binding into myofilament concentration, which consequently affects the muscle WHC. The study further demonstrated that the electrostatic field, especially HVEF, might increase the WHC of fresh meat by affecting the distribution of water molecules and physiochemical properties of actomyosin during the early postmortem period.

Effect of low-frequency alternating magnetic fields on the physicochemical, conformational and rheological properties of myofibrillar protein after iterative freeze-thaw cycles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 267:131418. [PMID: 38582465 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
In this work, the effects of low-frequency alternating magnetic fields (LF-AMF) on the physicochemical, conformational, and functional characteristics of myofibrillar protein (MP) after iterative freeze-thaw (FT) cycles were explored. With the increasing LF-AMF treatment time, the solubility, active sulfhydryl groups, surface hydrophobicity, emulsifiability, and emulsion stability of MP after five FT cycles evidently elevated and then declined, and the peak value was obtained at 3 h. Conversely, the moderate LF-AMF treatment time can significantly reduce the average particle size, carbonyl content, and endogenous fluorescence intensity of MP. The rheology results showed that various LF-AMF treatment times would elevate the G' value of MP after iterative FT cycles. The FTIR spectroscopy results suggested that LF-AMF influenced the secondary structure of MP after multiple FT cycles, resulting in a depression in α-helix content and an increment in β-folding proportion. Moreover, LF-AMF treatment induced the gradually lighter and wider myosin heavy chain bands of MP, implying that LF-AMF accelerated the degradation of macromolecular aggregates. Therefore, the LF-AMF treatment efficaciously ameliorates the structural and functional deterioration of MP after iterative FT cycles and could be used as a potential quality-improving technology in the frozen meat industry.

Abstract
The effect of static magnetic field-assisted freezing (MF) at different temperatures (-35, -30, -25, and -20 °C) on the muscle quality of pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) was evaluated to investigate the possibility of energy saving by MF. The results showed that the -35 °C MF treatment increased the water-holding capacity of shrimp muscle, and maintained the wholeness of the microstructure compared to -35 °C immersion freezing (control group, IF). With the increase in freezing temperature in the MF treatments, the size of ice crystals gradually increased, and the sensory properties of shrimp decreased. The water-holding capacity, sensory properties, and water distribution of shrimp muscle subjected to MF at -25 °C were still no significantly different from those of the IF at -35 °C (P > 0.05). In summary, the utilization of MF enhanced the quality of frozen pacific white shrimp, which has the potential to provide energy saving benefits.

Abstract
The effect of ultrasound-assisted immersion freezing (UIF), air freezing (AF), and immersion freezing (IF) on the protein structure, aggregation, and emulsifying properties of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) myofibrillar protein during frozen storage were evaluated in the present study. The result showed that, compared with AF and IF samples, UIF sample had higher reactive/total sulfhydryl, protein solubility, and lower protein turbidity (P < 0.05), indicating that UIF was beneficial to inhibit protein oxidation and aggregation induced by frozen storage. UIF inhibited the alteration of secondary structure and tertiary structure during frozen storage. Meanwhile, UIF sample had higher emulsifying activity index, and smaller emulsion droplet diameter than AF and IF samples (P < 0.05), suggesting that UIF was beneficial for maintaining the emulsifying properties of protein during storage. In general, UIF is a potential and effective method to suppress the decrease in protein emulsifying properties during long-term frozen storage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The thawing process is an essential step for a frozen marine fish. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of graphene magnetic nanoparticles combined radio-frequency thawing methods on frozen hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) dorsal muscle. Seven thawing methods were used: air thawing, 4 °C cold storage thawing, water thawing, radio-frequency thawing (RT), radio frequency thawing combined with graphene nanoparticles (G-RT), radio frequency thawing combined with graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO-RT) and radio-frequency thawing combined with graphene magnetic nanoparticles (GM-RT). The thawing loss and centrifugal loss, electric conductivity, total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and color of thawed hairtail dorsal muscle were determined. The carbonyl content, total sulfhydryl groups, Ca2+ -ATPase activity, raman spectroscopy measurements and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry measurements were determined using myofibrillar extracted from the dorsal muscle of hairtail. The water distribution was determined using low-field NMR techniques. RESULTS The results demonstrated that the RT, G-RT, GO-RT and GM-RT could significantly shorten the thawing time. Moreover, GO-RT and GM-RT efficiently preserved the color of fish dorsal muscle and reduced the impact of thawing on fish quality by reducing lipid and protein oxidation. Meanwhile, the myofibrillar protein structure thawed by GO-RT and GM-RT were more stable and had a more stable secondary structure, which maintained strong systemic stability at the same time as slowing down protein oxidation. CONCLUSION The results showed that GO-RT and GM-RT can significantly improve the thawing efficiency at the same time as effectively maintaining and improving the color and texture of thawed fish, slowing down the oxidation of proteins and lipids, and maintaining a good quality of thawed fish meat. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The impact of low-frequency alternating magnetic field thawing (LF-MFT) on the physicochemical and gelling properties of porcine myofibrillar proteins (MP) was studied. Results showed that compared to atmosphere thawing (AT), LF-MFT helped in inhibiting the oxidation and denaturation of protein during thawing, thereby maintaining a superior MP gel (P < 0.05). In particular, LF-MFT-4 (LF-MFT at 4 mT) could decrease the oxidation of MP, which might be due to having a higher content of total sulfhydryl and less carbonyl of MP than other thawing treatments. The denaturation of MP was reduced since LF-MFT-4 led to less aggregation and degradation than AT. The gelling properties were also retained, and a compact and homogeneous network structure was formed after LF-MFT-4, resulting in excellent water retention. These findings suggested that LF-MFT-4 improved the gelling properties of MP by inhibiting its oxidation and denaturation, demonstrating a potential application of LF-MFT in meat thawing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited knowledge regarding digestion and absorption of nutrients after cooked marinated meat is ingested. Most of the previous studies on food gastric digestion have focused on chemical digestion and did not reflect upon physical digestion driven by peristalsis. In the present study, we examined the effects of marinating beef in lemon juice on gastric digestibility using a human gastric digestion simulator (GDS) that mimics peristaltic motion called antral contraction waves. RESULTS Beef thigh slices were marinated in 100% lemon juice for 1 h and then grilled; an image of a stained tissue sample revealed that muscle tissue contraction (i.e. that usually occurs upon cooking) was suppressed. The measurement of physical properties using a rheometer and texture analyzer showed that the meat marinated in lemon juice had a soft texture. In vitro digestion experiments using the GDS revealed that the extent of both physical digestion driven by peristalsis and chemical digestion catalyzed by digestive enzymes was enhanced by the lemon juice marinade. CONCLUSION The results of the present study suggest that marinating beef in lemon juice affects nutrient digestibility. An integrated evaluation of tissue structure, physical properties and GDS digestion to analyze meat digestion would enhance our understanding of the effects of seasoning and cooking methods on meat. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The effect of temperature fluctuations on the freshness of shrimp in simulated trays was investigated by setting a freeze-thaw (F-T) cycle of 12 h after freezing at -20 °C and thawing at 1 °C under refrigeration. The results showed that the shrimp's physicochemical properties deteriorated to different extents with the increase in F-T cycles. The total colony count of shrimp was 6.07 lg CFU/g after 21 cycles, and the volatile saline nitrogen content reached 30.36 mg/100 g, which exceeded the edible standard. In addition, the sensory quality and textural properties (hardness, elasticity, chewiness, and adhesion) declined to different degrees with increased F-T cycles. LF-NMR and protein property measurements showed that F-T cycles resulted in reduced water holding capacity and protein denaturation, which were the main factors leading to the deterioration of shrimp quality. Furthermore, flavor changes were analyzed using an electronic nose sensor to establish a freshness model. The W1W, W1S, W2S, and W5S sensors were correlated with the quality changes in shrimp and used as the main sensors for detecting the freshness of Penaeus vannamei. As a result, to better maintain the overall freshness, temperature fluctuations should be minimized in sales and storage, and fewer than 8 F-T cycles should be performed.

Assessment of beef sensory attributes and physicochemical characteristics: A comparative study of intermediate versus normal ultimate pH striploin cuts. Food Res Int 2024; 175:113778. [PMID: 38129005 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
The quality of beef, defined by key attributes such as the intrinsic sensory qualities texture, flavour, and juiciness, is shaped by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This study conducted a detailed examination of Nellore beef, focusing on two categories based on ultimate pH (pHu) levels: intermediate (pHu ≥ 5.8) and normal (pHu < 5.6) beef. A comprehensive approach was taken, involving twenty trained assessors who applied the Optimised Descriptive Profile (ODP) method to evaluate grilled striploin steak samples. In parallel, consumer preferences were measured through a hedonic test and a Check-all-that-apply (CATA) task, involving 135 participants. The ODP results revealed that the intermediate pHu samples were juicier (P < 0.05) compared to the normal pHu group. The CATA analysis highlighted differences in both intermediate and normal pHu beef, especially in juiciness, a crucial factor for consumer satisfaction. Notably, variations in deoxymyoglobin content linked to ageing were observed, with higher levels at the 3rd day compared to the 28th day, especially in the intermediate pHu samples (P < 0.05). Moreover, colour-related aspects such as L*, b*, chroma (C*), and oxymyoglobin were significantly influenced (P < 0.05) by both the pHu category and ageing time. Regarding consumer acceptance, the study found no significant difference in perception between the intermediate and normal pHu groups (P > 0.05). These findings revealed the complex interactions between pHu levels, sensory characteristics, and consumer preferences in beef quality, offering valuable insights for both the industry and research community.

Abstract
Repeated freeze-thaw (FT) cycles can have an impact on surimi quality. In this study, we used 0.02% BHA as a positive control group. We examined the effects of different concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) on surimi, focusing on alterations in color metrics (L* for brightness, a* for red-green, b* for yellow-blue, and overall whiteness), textural characteristics, and antioxidant capacity during various freeze-thaw (FT) cycles. The results showed that the lipid oxidant values of surimi, as well as its a* and b* values, rose as the number of FT cycles increased; whereas the adhesiveness, resilience, gumminess, and shear force dropped, as did L* and the whiteness values, leading to an overall darkening of color and gloss. By contrast, the study found that the addition of WPH could effectively slow down the decrease of surimi textural stability after repeated freeze-thawing, with the textural stability of the group with 15% WPH being significantly superior to those of the other groups (p < 0.05). Under the same number of cycles, adding 15% WPH to the experimental group could successfully lower total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and effectively increase the antioxidant activity of surimi. This finding suggested that 15% WPH had the greatest effect on increasing surimi FT stability. To conclude, it was proved that WPH can be added to frozen surimi and improve its quality.

Abstract
Adulteration of meat and meat products causes a concerning threat for consumers. It is necessary to develop novel robust and sensitive methods which can authenticate the origin of meat species to compensate for the drawbacks of existing methods. In the present study, the sarcoplasmic proteins of six meat species, namely, pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck and turkey, were analyzed by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis. It was found that enolase could be used as a potential biomarker protein to distinguish between livestock and poultry meats. The glycosylation sites and glycans of enolase were analyzed by UPLC-QTOF-MS and a total of 41 glycopeptides were identified, indicating that the enolase N-glycopeptide profiles of different meats were species-specific. The identification models of livestock meat, poultry and mixed animal were established based on the glycopeptide contents, and the explanation degree of the three models was higher than 90%. The model prediction performance and feasibility results showed that the average prediction accuracy of the three models was 75.43%, with the animal-derived meat identification model showing superiority in identifying more closely related species. The obtained results indicated that the developed strategy was promising for application in animal-derived meat species monitoring and the quality supervision of animal-derived food.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the changes in quality properties and microstructure of pork meat as well as structural variation in myofibrillar proteins (MPs) after low-frequency alternating magnetic field thawing (LF-MFT) with different intensities (1-5 mT). LF-MFT at 3-5 mT shortened the thawing time. LF-MFT treatment significantly influenced the quality properties of meat and notably improved the structure of MPs (P < 0.05), compared to atmosphere thawing (AT). Especially, among the thawing treatments, LF-MFT-4 (LF-MFT at 4 mT) had the lowest values of thawing loss and drip loss, and the least changes in the color and myoglobin content. Regarding the results of rheological properties and micrographs, an optimal gel structure and a more compact muscle fiber arrangement formed during LF-MFT-4. Moreover, LF-MFT-4 was beneficial for improving the conformation of MPs. Therefore, LF-MFT-4 reduced the deterioration of porcine quality by protecting MPs structure, indicating a potential use in the meat thawing industry.

Abstract
To investigate the impact of frozen storage conditions on the physicochemical properties of soybean protein and explore the underlying mechanisms, this study focused on soybean isolate (SPI), ß-soybean companion globulin (7S), and soybean globulin (11S). The protein solutions were prepared at a concentration of 2% and subjected to freezing for 1 and 5 days. Subsequently, the protein content, physicochemical properties, secondary structure, sulfhydryl content, and chemical interaction forces were assessed and analyzed using UV spectrophotometry, Zeta potential measurements, SDS-PAGE, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, and endogenous fluorescence photoemission spectroscopy. The obtained results revealed that the solubility and total sulfhydryl content of SPI, 7S, and 11S exhibited a decreasing trend with prolonged freezing time. Among them, 11S demonstrated the largest decrease in solubility and total sulfhydryl content, followed by SPI, and 7S the least. During freezing, the aromatic amino acids of SPI, 7S, and 11S molecules were exposed, leading to increased hydrophobicity, protein aggregation, and particle size enlargement, and the structure of the protein changed from disordered structure to ordered structure. After freezing, the polarity of the microenvironment of SPI, 7S, and 11S increased, and their maximum fluorescence emission wavelengths were red-shifted. Notably, the largest red shift of SPI was from 332 nm to 335 nm. As freezing time increased, the contribution of hydrogen bonding increased, while the contribution of hydrophobic interactions decreased. This indicates that freezing affects the hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and other chemical forces of the protein. The growth of ice crystals leads to the unfolding of protein molecular chains, exposure of internal hydrophobic groups, enhancement of hydrophobicity, and alters the secondary structure of the protein.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:3444-3477.

Abstract
Myofibrillar protein (MP) endows muscle foods with texture and important functional properties, such as water-holding capacity (WHC) and emulsifying and gel-forming abilities. However, thawing deteriorates the physicochemical and structural properties of MPs, significantly affecting the WHC, texture, flavor, and nutritional value of muscle foods. Thawing-induced physicochemical and structural changes in MPs need further investigation and consideration in the scientific development of muscle foods. In this study, we reviewed the literature for the thawing effects on the physicochemical and structural characters of MPs to identify potential associations between MPs and the quality of muscle-based foods. Physicochemical and structural changes of MPs in muscle foods occur because of physical changes during thawing and microenvironmental changes, including heat transfer and phase transformation, moisture activation and migration, microbial activation, and alterations in pH and ionic strength. These changes are not only essential inducements for changes in spatial conformation, surface hydrophobicity, solubility, Ca2+ -ATPase activity, intermolecular interaction, gel properties, and emulsifying properties of MPs but also factors causing MP oxidation, characterized by thiols, carbonyl compounds, free amino groups, dityrosine content, cross-linking, and MP aggregates. Additionally, the WHC, texture, flavor, and nutritional value of muscle foods are closely related to MPs. This review encourages additional work to explore the potential of tempering techniques, as well as the synergistic effects of traditional and innovative thawing technologies, in reducing the oxidation and denaturation of MPs and maintaining the quality of muscle foods.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of low-voltage electrostatic field-assisted freezing on the water-holding capacity of beef steaks. The enhances mechanism of water-holding capacity by electrostatic field was elucidated through the detection of dynamic changes in the myofilament lattice and the construction of an in vitro myosin filaments model. The findings demonstrated that the disorder of the myofilament array, resulted from the aggregation of myosin filaments during freezing, is a crucial factor responsible for the water loss. The intervention of the electrostatic field can effectively reduce the myofibril density by 18.7%, while maintaining a regular lattice array by modulating electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between myofibrils. Moreover, the electrostatic field significantly inhibited the migration of immobilized water to free water, thus resulting in an increase in the water-holding capacity of myofibrils by 36%. This work provides insights into the underlying mechanisms of water loss in frozen steaks and its regulation.

Abstract
Repeated freezing and thawing (F-T) happens during long-term storage and transportation due to the temperature variation, causing quality deterioration of beef products and influencing consumer acceptance. This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between quality attributes, protein structural changes and water real-time migration of beef with different F-T cycles. The results showed that multiply F-T cycles damaged the muscle microstructure and protein structure tended to denature and unfold, led lower population of water reabsorbed, thus triggering the decrease of water capacity, especially a decrease of T21 and A21 of completely thawed beef samples, finally affected the quality, such as tenderness, color and lipid oxidation of beef muscle. Beef should not be abused by F-T cycles >3 times, the quality extremely degraded when subjected to 5 or more F-T cycles, and real-time LF-NMR provided a new aspect to help us control the thawing process of beef.

Abstract
The changes in protein degradation (TCA-soluble peptides), Schiff bases, dicarbonyl compounds (glyoxal-GO, methylglyoxal-MGO) and two typical advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) including Nε-carboxymethyllysine (CML), Nε-carboxyethyllysine (CEL) levels in ground pork supplemented with sucrose (4.0%) were investigated under nine freeze-thaw cycles and subsequent heating (100 °C/30 min). It was found that increase in freeze-thaw cycles promoted protein degradation and oxidation. The addition of sucrose further promoted the production of TCA-soluble peptides, Schiff bases and CEL, but not significantly, ultimately leading to higher levels of TCA-soluble peptides, Schiff bases, GO, MGO, CML, and CEL in the ground pork with the addition of sucrose than in the blank groups by 4%, 9%, 214%, 180%, 3%, and 56%, respectively. Subsequent heating resulted in severe increase of Schiff bases but not TCA-soluble peptides. Contents of GO and MGO all decreased after heating, while contents of CML and CEL increased.

Abstract
Understanding mechanisms of myofibrillar protein gelation is important for development of gel-type muscle foods. The protein-protein interactions are largely responsible for the heat-induced gelation. Exogenous additives have been extensively applied to improve gelling properties of myofibrillar proteins. Research has been carried out to investigate effects of different additives on protein gelation, among which low molecular substances as one of the most abundant additives have been recently implicated in the modifications of intermolecular interactions. In this review, the processes of myosin dissociation under salt and the subsequent interaction via intermolecular forces are elaborated. The underlying mechanisms focusing on the role of low molecular additives in myofibrillar protein interactions during gelation particularly in relation to modifications of the intermolecular forces are comprehensively discussed, and six different additives i.e. metal ions, phosphates, amino acids, hydrolysates, phenols and edible oils are involved. The promoting effect of low molecular additives on protein interactions is highly attributed to the strengthened hydrophobic interactions providing explanations for improved gelation. Other intermolecular forces i.e. covalent bonds, ionic and hydrogen bonds could also be influenced depending on varieties of additives. This review can hopefully be used as a reference for the development of gel-type muscle foods in the future.

Low-temperature vacuum permeation of sodium tripolyphosphate and trehalose suppresses the denaturation of myofibrillar proteins in peeled shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei) during frozen storage. Front Nutr 2022; 9:1012864.

Abstract
Phosphates and trehalose are widely accepted additives in animal muscle products. In this study, the effects of pre-soaking with sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and trehalose under vacuum permeation (VP) conditions on the physicochemical properties of shrimp muscle were evaluated over 120 d of frozen storage. The results indicate the STPP/trehalose-VP treatments significantly reduced the thawing loss and prevented changes in the texture, myofibrillar protein (MP) content, and Ca2+-ATPase activity of shrimp muscle during frozen storage compared with results of control and individual STPP or trehalose soaking treatments. The histological structure analysis revealed the permeated STPP/trehalose distinctly inhibited the dissociation of muscle fibers and reduced physical damage to connective tissues during storage. Furthermore, analysis of the thermal properties indicated STPP/trehalose treatment increased the Tg’ values of shrimp muscle tissues, likely by restricting the mobility of water molecules in muscle tissues and embedding proteins in the glassy matrix. Thus, the physical destruction caused by ice crystal growth was greatly reduced, due to the absence of water molecules around muscle proteins during frozen storage. Accordingly, the combined STPP/trehalose-VP treatment significantly enhanced the stability of frozen shrimp, and the results support the application of traditional cryoprotective additives. The treated shrimp can be stored at comparatively higher temperatures with limited physicochemical reactions during frozen storage.
