RESUMEN
This research aimed to explore the role of protein S-nitrosylation in regulating the tenderness of postmortem beef, from the perspective of µ-calpain autolysis and protein proteolysis. Five bovine semimembranosus muscles were incubated with three treatments including S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, nitric oxide donor), normal saline and Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME, nitric oxide synthase inhibitor). The results showed that the level of protein S-nitrosylation was improved by GSNO treatment and reduced by L-NAME treatment (pâ¯<â¯0.05). Compared to the control, GSNO treatment had higher shear force while L-NAME treatment presented lower shear force at 7 d postmortem (pâ¯<â¯0.05). In addition, µ-calpain autolysis, myofibrillar protein and desmin degradation were reduced by GSNO treatment and accelerated by L-NAME treatment (pâ¯<â¯0.05). Therefore, it can be speculated that protein S-nitrosylation could affect beef tenderization by regulating the autolysis of µ-calpain and the degradation of myofibrillar proteins.

The objective of this study was to explore the mechanisms of power ultrasound (PUS, 150 and 300W) and treatment time (30 and 120min) on the water-holding capacity (WHC) and tenderness of beef during curing. Beef muscle at 48h post mortem was subjected to PUS treatment at a frequency of 20kHz. Analysis of compression loss and shear force showed that PUS-assisted curing significantly increased the WHC and the tenderness of beef compared to static brining (p<0.05). According to the analysis of LF-NMR, PUS treatment could increase the P21 values which indicated an improvement in water-binding ability of beef muscle. SDS-PAGE and LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis suggested that PUS induced moderate oxidation of myosin causing polymerization, which may contribute to increased water retention. On the other hand, an increased tenderness of beef is suggested by the increased MFI values and proteolysis of desmin and troponin-T. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) further supported the effects of PUS on WHC and tenderness changes due to the swelling and disruption of myofibrils. Thus, these results provide knowledge about the mechanism for improving WHC and tenderness of beef by PUS curing, which could be employed as an emerging technology for various meat curing processes.

BACKGROUND: Protein oxidation is widespread in biochemical systems. The objective of the study was to investigate the differences in protein oxidation, µ-calpain activity, desmin proteolysis and protein solubility of beef psoas major (PM) and semi-membranosus (SM) muscles under three packaging systems during postmortem ageing. At 24 h postmortem, beef muscles were packaged respectively in air-permeable film overwrap (AP), vacuum pack (VP) or modified atmosphere (MAP, 80% O2 + 20% CO2 ), and then displayed for 10 days at 4 °C. RESULTS: Carbonyl group values and thiol group content were significantly influenced by packaging type and storage time. The SM muscles from AP and MAP showed greater µ-calpain activity compared to VP. Desmin of PM and SM from AP and MAP samples showed decreased proteolysis compared with VP. CONCLUSION: The results suggested that the inhibition of µ-calpain activity of beef samples from AP and MAP could be closely associated with protein oxidation which further lowered the level of desmin degradation compared to VP. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Antioxidant peptides are gradually being accepted as food ingredients, supplemented in functional food and nutraceuticals, to positively regulate oxidative stress in the human body against lipid and protein oxidation. Meat muscle and meat by-products are rich sources of proteins and can be regarded as good materials for the production of bioactive peptides by use of enzymatic hydrolysis or direct solvent extraction. In recent years, there has been a growing number of studies conducted to characterize antioxidant peptides or hydrolysates derived from meat muscle and by-products as well as processed meat products, including dry-cured hams. Antioxidant peptides obtained from animal sources could exert not only nutritional value but also bioavailability to benefit human health. This paper reviews the antioxidant peptides or protein hydrolysates identified in muscle protein and by-products. We focus on the procedure for the generation of peptides with antioxidant capacity including the acquisition of crude peptides, the assessment of antioxidant activity, and the purification and identification of the active fraction. It remains critical to perform validation experiments with a cell model, animal model or clinical trial to eliminate safety concerns before final application in the food system. In addition, some of the common characteristics on structure-activity relationship are also reviewed based on the identified antioxidant peptides.
RESUMEN
Triple TOF MS/MS was used to identify adducts between rosmarinic acid (RosA)-derived quinones and meat proteins in a gel model under oxidative stress. Seventy-five RosA-modified peptides responded to 67 proteins with adduction of RosA. RosA conjugated with different amino acids in proteins, and His, Arg, and Lys adducts with RosA were identified for the first time in meat. A total of 8 peptides containing Cys, 14 peptides containing His, 48 peptides containing Arg, 64 peptides containing Lys, and 5 peptides containing N-termini that which participated in adduction reaction with RosA were identified, respectively. Seventy-seven adduction sites were subdivided into all adducted proteins including 2 N-terminal adduction sites, 3 Cys adduction sites, 4 His adduction sites, 29 Arg adduction sites, and 39 Lys adduction sites. Site occupancy analyses showed that approximately 80.597% of the proteins carried a single RosA-modified site, 14.925% retained two sites, 1.492% contained three sites, and the rest 2.985% had four or more sites. Large-scale triple TOF MS/MS mapping of RosA-adducted sites reveals the adduction regulations of quinone and different amino acids as well as the adduction ratios, which clarify phenol-protein adductions and pave the way for industrial meat processing and preservation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of power ultrasound intensity (PUS, 2.39, 6.23, 11.32 and 20.96Wcm(-2)) and treatment time (30, 60, 90 and 120min) on the oxidation and structure of beef proteins during the brining procedure with 6% NaCl concentration. The investigation was conducted with an ultrasonic generator with the frequency of 20kHz and fresh beef at 48h after slaughter. Analysis of TBARS (Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) contents showed that PUS treatment significantly increased the extent of lipid oxidation compared to static brining (P<0.05). As indicators of protein oxidation, the carbonyl contents were significantly affected by PUS (P<0.05). SDS-PAGE analysis showed that PUS treatment increased protein aggregation through disulfide cross-linking, indicated by the decreasing content of total sulfhydryl groups which would contribute to protein oxidation. In addition, changes in protein structure after PUS treatment are suggested by the increases in free sulfhydryl residues and protein surface hydrophobicity. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) provided further information about the changes in protein secondary structures with increases in ß-sheet and decreases in α-helix contents after PUS processing. These results indicate that PUS leads to changes in structures and oxidation of beef proteins caused by mechanical effects of cavitation and the resultant generation of free radicals.

This study mainly focused on the purification and identification of antioxidative peptides generated in dry-cured Xuanwei ham. Based on scavenging effect on free radicals and ferrous ion, the antioxidant activity of crude peptides from Xuanwei ham was assessed. From the scavenging effects on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl (OH) radicals and superoxide anion (O2(-)), it was suggested that XHP generated during the ripening period had a strong antioxidant activity. By using size exclusion chromatography, anion exchange column and reversed-phase HPLC, fractions with a strong antioxidative activity were separated based on their molecular weight and polarity differences. The fraction with strong antioxidant effect was further characterized by LC-MS/MS. The results suggest that antioxidative peptides are produced during the long processing of Xuanwei ham among which the tetrapeptide Asp-Leu-Glu-Glu could be one of the main peptides that play key role in the antioxidant activity.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to purify and identify antioxidant peptides present in the extract of Chinese dry-cured Jinhua ham. Jinhua ham extracts were separated into five fractions (A-E) by size-exclusion chromatography. Each fraction was subjected to a simulated gastrointestinal (GI) digestion system and fractions showing strong antioxidant activities were collected and subjected to liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for further purification and identification. RESULTS: Using MS/MS analysis, 33 peptides were identified in these fractions. Several key peptides were selected for synthesis and their antioxidant activity determined. The peptide showing strongest DPPH radical scavenging activity was GKFNV, which showed 92.7% antioxidant activity at a concentration of 1 mg mL(-1); the peptide LPGGGHGDL showed the highest hydroxyl radical scavenging activity; and LPGGGT and HA showed strong inhibition activity against erythrocyte hemolysis (about 45%) before digestion. On the other hand, KEER may contribute to Fe(2+) chelating ability in fraction C after GI digestion. CONCLUSION: Jinhua dry-cured ham seems to be a potential source of antioxidant peptides generated in the products and in GI digestion.

The objective of this study was to examine the differences in calpain system, desmin degradation, pH values and water holding capacity (WHC) between muscles of commercial Meishan and Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire crossbred pigs. Meishan pork presented better WHC evidenced by lower purge loss at days 1 and 3 and less centrifugation loss at day 1 post mortem (P < 0.05). pH values at 45 min post mortem in Meishan pork were significantly higher compared to crossbred pork (P < 0.05). Calpain-1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression was lower in Meishan pork compared to that from crossbred pork (P < 0.05). Additionally, calpain-1 activity, the ratio of calpain-1 to calpastatin activity and desmin degradation were lower in Meishan pork compared to those from crossbred pork samples (P < 0.05). The results indicate that the calpain system including mRNA expression and activity were different between commercial Meishan and crossbred pork resulting in difference in the degree of desmin degradation during post mortem aging. pH values at 45 min and 24 h post mortem rather than calpain activity and desmin degradation could explain the higher water holding capacity in commercial Meishan pork.

In this investigation, ultrasonic treatments at a frequency of 40 kHz and power of 1,500 W made caspase-3 and calpain activities significantly higher in chicken muscle after slaughter during 5d storage (p<0.01). Additionally Western blotting analysis of α-spectrin showed that ultrasonic treatments caused the production of α-spectrin degradation products of 120 and 150 kDa more dense than the control (p<0.01). Degradation of calpastatin during chicken meat ageing was induced by ultrasound treatments (p<0.01), which suggested the ability of caspase-3 to cleave calpastatin. SDS-PAGE showed that all treatments enhanced accumulation of the 30 kDa troponin-T degradation product (p<0.01), and transmission electron microscopy images of myofibrils displayed that damage of ultrasound treatment for 60 min was more extensive than at 30 min. The findings proved the low-frequency and high power ultrasonic treatments improved disruption of myofibrillar structures and increased proteolysis of chicken meat faster by triggering an apoptosis cascade.

The objective of this study was to investigate the biochemical changes of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in pork skeletal muscles during postmortem storage. Longissimus thoracis (LT), psoas major (PM) and semimembranosus (SM) muscles of pork were removed immediately after slaughter and stored under vacuum condition at 4°C for 0, 1 and 3d. Results showed that all three muscles exhibited NOS activity until 1d while SM muscle retained NOS activity after 3d of storage. The content of nNOS in SM muscle was stable across 3d of storage while decreased intensity of nNOS was detected at 1 and 3d of aging in PM and LT muscles due to the degradation of calpain. Immunostaining showed that nNOS was located at not only sarcolemma but also cytoplasm at 0 and 1d of storage. Our data suggest that postmortem muscles possess NOS activity and nNOS expression depends on muscle type.

LTQ Orbitrap MS/MS was used to identify the adducts between quinones derived from rosmarinic acid (RosA) and thiol compounds, including cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), and peptides digested from myosin. Two adducts of quinone-RosA/Cys and quinone-RosA/2Cys, one quinone-RosA/GSH adduct, and three quinone-RosA/peptide adducts were identified by extracted ion and MS(2) fragment ion chromatograms. By using MALDI-TOF/TOF MS, the adduction reaction between RosA and myosin in myofibrillar protein isolates was determined, demonstrating that the accurate reaction site was at Cys949 of myosin. The effect of reaction conditions, including stirring time, temperature, and oxidative stress, on the formation of adducts was further investigated. The formation of quinone-RosA/Cys and quinone-RosA/GSH increased with stirring time. Both adducts increased with temperature, whereas the reactivity of the addition reaction of GSH was higher than that of Cys. With increasing oxidation stress, the formation of quinone-RosA/GSH adduct increased and that of quinone-RosA/Cys adduct decreased.

BACKGROUND: Plant proteins and polysaccharides are often utilised in ground meat products as meat binders, gelling agents, texture stabilisers or fat substitutes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the incorporation of 57 g kg(-1) soy protein isolate (SPI), 7 g kg(-1) carrageenan (CAR) and SPI/CAR mixture on the quality of ground pork patties. RESULTS: Ground pork patties with individual SPI and CAR or SPI/CAR mixture showed either retained or improved emulsion stability, physicochemical properties and dynamic rheology compared with control samples. Although there were no significant colour differences among treatments, samples with SPI/CAR mixture presented higher texture profile values for hardness and chewiness compared with other treatments (P < 0.05). Patties with additives showed significantly lower cooking loss and better thermal emulsion stability than control samples owing to a lower release rate of water and fat (P < 0.05). Compared with control samples or those with individual SPI and CAR, patties with SPI/CAR mixture formed a smoother and more continuous structure with a more compact protein matrix. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that a mixture of SPI and CAR can be effectively used as a functional ingredient to improve the quality of ground pork patties.

The aim of the current research was to examine the influence of nitric oxide (NO) on calpain activation, protein proteolysis, and oxidation in post-mortem pork. Five longissimus muscles were removed from carcass after slaughter, and samples were incubated with water, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, or NO donor for 24 h at 4 °C. The samples were taken out and then stored under 4 °C for 1, 4, and 7 d. Results showed that autolysis of µ-calpain increased by incubation with NOS inhibitor after storage for 1 d (P<0.05). Degradation of titin and nebulin increased by treatment of NOS inhibitor among three treatments (P<0.05). Higher levels of protein oxidation were observed after samples incubated with NO donor than treatment of NOS inhibitor (P<0.05). These data indicated that NO could participate in regulating calpain activation and its proteolysis activity during post-mortem aging.

The effects of NaCl, temperature, pH, light intensity and a simulated gastro-intestinal digestion were assessed to determine the stability of antioxidant peptides extracted from Chinese Jinhua ham. Antioxidant peptides showed good stabilities when NaCl content was less than 6%, temperature was lower than 60 °C and they were not exposed to light directly. However, the antioxidant peptides lost antioxidant activities rapidly under alkaline condition. The results of a simulated two-stage digestion system showed that antioxidant activity increased with pepsin treatment but declined with further hydrolysis with trypsin. Pepsin was effective to hydrolyze peptides into smaller fractions leading to the increased exposure of internal hydrophobic amino acids, but trypsin could hydrolyze peptides into more free amino acids resulting in the decline in surface hydrophobicity which affected antioxidant activity of peptides. These suggest that antioxidant peptides extracted from Jinhua ham could maintain their antioxidant activity under the proper conditions.

The antioxidant activities of the peptides extracted from Jinhua ham were evaluated on the basis of hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and Fe(2+) chelating ability. The peptide extracts exhibited great hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and DPPH radical scavenging activity as well as Fe(2+) chelating ability at the concentration of 1 mg/mL, which suggested the presence of peptides with antioxidant activity. The peptides were separated using size exclusion chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC. The fraction with highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was further purified and identified using liquid chromatography tandem matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS). The sequence of the antioxidant peptide was identified as Gly-Lys-Phe-Asn-Val. The assessment of fractions indicated that the hydrophobic fractions contributed more to free radical scavenging activities than the hydrophilic peptides. It was concluded that natural peptides extracted and isolated from the Jinhua ham by several chromatographic techniques have antioxidant activities.

Calpain has been considered to be the most important protease involved in tenderization during the conversion of muscle into meat. However, recent evidence suggests the possible involvement of the key apoptosis protease, caspase, on post-mortem tenderization. This study used inhibitors of calpain and caspase-3 to treat chicken muscle immediately after slaughter and followed the changes in caspase-3 and calpain activities together with their expression during 5 days of aging. Addition of calpain inhibitors to the system resulted in significantly higher caspase-3 activities (p < 0.01) during storage. Western blot analysis of pro-caspase-3 and α-spectrin cleavage of the 120 kDa peptide (SBDP 120) showed that the addition of calpain inhibitors resulted in the formation of higher amounts of the active form of caspase-3 compared with the control (p < 0.01). Inclusion of inhibitors of caspase-3 led to lower calpain activities (p < 0.01) and dramatically reduced the expression of calpain-1 and calpain-2 (p < 0.01). Concomitantly, this inhibition resulted in greater calpastatin expression compared with the control (p < 0.01). The findings of this investigation show that calpain prevented the activation of caspase-3, whereas caspase-3 appeared to enhance the calpain activity during post-mortem aging through inhibition of calpastatin. It is therefore suggested that there is a relationship between caspase-3 and calpain which contributes to the tenderizing process during the conversion of muscle tissue into meat.

Phosphopeptides are among the most interesting biomolecules with characteristic molecular structure and functions. They usually contain clusters of phosphoserines, which can effectively bind calcium and iron, and inhibit formation of insoluble calcium phosphates or iron complexes. Therefore, phosphopeptides can increase calcium or iron bioavailability and prevent lipid oxidation in foods. Milk protein casein has been currently used by industry to produce phosphopeptides. Egg yolk phosvitin is considered as the most phosphorylated protein found in the nature. Phosvitin from egg yolk can be much better source for producing phosphopeptides with varying sizes and functions than casein because it contains much greater number of phosphates in the molecule than casein. However, still phosvitin has not been subjected to considerable attention with regard to bioactive peptides production.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of dietary treatment and packaging on the oxidative stability of breast rolls. A total of 120 4-wk-old broiler chickens were randomly assigned to control, oxidized diet (5% oxidized oil, PV = 100), or antioxidants-added diet (500 IU vitamin E + 200 ppm BHA) and fed for 2 wk. Breast muscles were separated from the carcasses and breast rolls were prepared. The rolls were cooked in a smoke house (85 °C) to an internal temperature of 74 °C, cooled, sliced to 2-cm thick pieces, individually packaged in oxygen permeable bags or vacuum-packaged in oxygen impermeable bags, and stored in a 4 °C cold room for 7 d. Lipid, protein oxidation and volatiles were determined at 1, 4, and 7 d of storage. Dietary supplementation of antioxidants significantly reduced lipid oxidation (TBARS) and protein oxidation (carbonyls) in breast rolls, and the effect of dietary antioxidants on lipid oxidation was more pronounced than protein oxidation. Chicken breast rolls from antioxidants treatment group produced significantly lower amounts of hexanal and pentanal than those from control and oxidized oil treatments (P < 0.05). However, dietary oxidized oil did not increase lipid and protein oxidation in breast rolls. Vacuum-packaging significantly delayed the onset of lipid oxidation and protein oxidation in chicken rolls during 7-day refrigerated storage (P < 0.05). Therefore, it is suggested that appropriate use of dietary supplementation of antioxidants in combination with packaging could minimize lipid oxidation in chicken breast rolls.
