In this study, a peptidomic approach has been used in the identification of naturally generated peptides during a dry-curing process, showing methionine (Met) oxidation in their sequence. A total of 656 peptides derived from major myofibrillar proteins in Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Teruel dry-cured ham have been identified by nanoliquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS), including 120 peptides showing methionine oxidation. The percentage of oxidised peptides in the studied proteins ranged from 6% to 35%, being peptides derived from nebulin, titin, myosin heavy chains, and troponin I proteins, those showing the highest number of oxidised methionine. The identification of the peptide sequence incorporating the oxidised amino acid provides valuable information of neighbouring amino acids, degree of hydrolysis of the sample, and characteristics of the peptide, which might be very useful for a future better understanding of the oxidation mechanisms occurring in dry-curing processing.

Dielectric Spectroscopy (DS) and TimeDomain-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (TD-NMR) were exploited to investigate water and solid dynamics in chicken's Pectoralis major muscles having macroscopically normal appearance (N) and affected by Wooden Breasts (WB) abnormality. 147 PMM were collected and classified as macroscopically normal (N) (N=74) or Wooden Breast (WB) (N=73) based on their visual appearance and manual palpation. Protons' T (transverse relaxation time), and dielectric properties were carried out.

Salt assumes a significant role in the production of meat gels. Excessive intake of salt adversely affects human health, and consumers' demand for reduced-salt meat products is escalating. This review primarily introduces the characteristics of the physical processing technology of reduced-salt gel meat products, such as the technology of ultrasonic, high-pressure processing, beating, plasma, and magnetic field, and its role in reduced-salt gel meat processing, and explores means to improve the teaching effect of the physical processing technology of reduced-salt gel meat products in the major of Food Science and Engineering.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that the addition of chitosan can improve the quality and functional properties of meat products. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the effect and mechanism of the addition of chitosan on the gel properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) were investigated.
