Effect of ultrasound-assisted L-lysine treatment on pork meat quality and myofibrillar protein properties during postmortem aging.

This paper aimed to investigate the effects of ultrasound-assisted L-lysine treatment on meat quality and myofibrillar proteins (MPs) properties of pork longissimus dorsi during postmortem aging. The results revealed that the L-lysine (Lys) and/or ultrasound treatment significantly increased (p < 0.05) the water-holding capacity and tenderness of the pork during postmortem aging, while the ultrasound-assisted Lys treatment had the lowest cooking loss, pressurization loss, Warner-Bratzler shear force, and hardness.

Dose-Dependent Effect of Hyperoside on the Physicochemical and Gel Properties of Porcine Myofibrillar Proteins at Different NaCl Concentrations under Oxidative Stress.

The effects of HYP (10, 50, and 250 μM/g protein) on the physicochemical and gel properties of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) at different NaCl concentrations under oxidative stress were explored. The incorporation of HYP significantly reduced carbonyl content and decreased the loss of free amine groups in a dose-dependent manner, regardless of NaCl concentration. In addition, HYP induced a dose-dependent decrement in total sulfhydryl content regardless of NaCl concentration, which might result from the formation of thiol-quinone adducts via Michael addition.

Stability of oil-in-water emulsions with eggplant flesh pulp (Solanum melongena L.) emulsifier: Effects of storage time, pH, ionic strength, and temperature.

In this study, we investigated the stability of oil-in-water emulsions prepared using eggplant flesh pulp (EFP) as natural emulsifier. The effects of time and environmental stresses on the stability of emulsions with different EFP concentrations were evaluated using the creaming indices (CIs), particle sizes, and zeta potentials of the emulsions. The emulsions with EFP concentrations of up to 1.

Effect of Eggplant Powder on the Physicochemical and Sensory Characteristics of Reduced-Fat Pork Sausages.

In this study, we investigated the effects of soybean oil, water, and 1, 2, and 3% eggplant powder (EP) as substitutes for pork back fat (a decrease from 30% to 15%) on the proximate composition, water- and fat-binding properties, colour, water distribution, texture, and sensory properties of pork sausages. The replacement of fat with soybean oil in sausages decreased the fat and cholesterol proportions and increased the moisture content, but the water- and fat-binding properties, texture properties, and sensory properties became worse. By adding EP, sausages displayed remarkably better water- and fat-binding properties, texture properties, and sensory properties.

Isorhamnetin and Hispidulin from Inhibit 2-Amino-1-Methyl-6-Phenylimidazo[4,5-]Pyridine (PhIP) Formation by Trapping Phenylacetaldehyde as a Key Mechanism.

has been widely used as barbecue skewers to obtain a good taste and a unique flavor of roast lamb in China. Many flavonoids have been identified from , which is an important strategy employed to reduce the formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) in roast meat. Isorhamnetin, hispidulin, and cirsimaritin from bark extract (TRE) effectively inhibit the formation of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-] pyridine (PhIP), the most abundant HAs in foods, both in roast lamb patties and in chemical models.

Emulsification of oil-in-water emulsions with eggplant (Solanum melongena L.).

Hypothesis: Eggplant is rich in polysaccharides. The mechanically homogenized eggplant flesh pulp (EFP) is expected to emulsify and stabilize o/w emulsions. The adsorption and network structure of the polysaccharides are hypothesized to contribute to the stability of emulsions.
