Background: In order to evaluate the effect of cooking temperature on the nutrition quality of dry-cured hams, 60 biceps femoris samples from 16 Jinhua hams were divided into four groups (control, 70, 100 and 120 °C) and cooked for 30 min. Carbonyl content, sulfhydryl groups, surface hydrophobicity, microstructure, protein aggregation and digestibility of myofibrillar proteins were investigated.
Results: Cooking promoted carbonylation and decreased sulfhydryl groups in a temperature-dependent way. Scanning electron microscopy and Nile Red revealed that protein aggregation became a main phenomenon at 120 °C; it coincided with surface hydrophobicity. The increased carbonyl content and decreased sulfhydryl groups contributed to the formation of aggregates. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profiles showed the initial difference in proteolysis rate among four groups. The in vitro digestibility of pepsin and of trypsin and α-chymotrypsin increased from the control to 100 °C and decreased from 100 to 120 °C.
Conclusion: The increased digestibility could be attributed to the oxidation of proteins and exposing recognition sites of digestive enzymes, while the decreased digestibility was due to the formation of aggregates. Cooking was a main factor that affected the digestibility of Jinhua ham, and cooking at 100 °C could be an ideal way to gain the highest digestibility of Jinhua ham. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

This study focused on unlocking the potential of Jinhua ham-derived peptides (JHP) for enhancing saltiness. JHP (<3 kDa) was obtained through ultrafiltration and desalting, reducing the salt content by 96 %. Four peptide fractions (JHP-P1/P2/P3/P4) were isolated using Sephadex G-25 gel filtration and anion-exchange chromatography.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers identified peptides linked to bitterness in dry-cured ham using advanced techniques like LC-MS/MS, discovering 11 bitter peptides, with PKAPPAK, VTDTTR, and YIIEK showing the highest bitterness levels.
- Molecular docking studies indicated that these peptides interacted more effectively with the hT2R16 receptor compared to other bitter taste receptors, stabilized by hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding.
- Transcriptomic analysis in HEK-293T cells revealed 529 genes affected by VTDTTR, highlighting pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and calcium signaling as key players in the bitterness signal transduction process.

JHBp2 is a peptide purified from Jinhua ham broth with antibacterial activity against . Untargeted metabolomics and label-free quantitative proteomics were used to analyze metabolic and protein expression changes in after JHBp2 treatment. Cell wall and membrane damage results indicate that JHBp2 has membrane-disruptive properties, causing leakage of intracellular nucleic acids and proteins.

Guizhou sour meat and sour fish, Chaoshan fish sauce, Sichuan sausage and bacon, Cantonese sausage, Jinhua ham, and Xinjiang air-dried beef are eight representatives of Chinese traditional fermented meat and fish products (FMFPs), which are favored by Chinese consumers due to their high nutritional value and quality. The quality of the spontaneously fermented Chinese traditional FMFP is closely correlated with microorganisms. Moreover, the dominant microorganisms are significantly different due to regional differences.

Jinhua lean ham (LH), a dry-cured ham made from the defatted hind legs of pigs, has become increasingly popular among consumers with health concerns. However, the influence of fat removal on the quality of Jinhua ham is still not fully understood. Therefore, a label-free proteomics strategy was used to explore the protein differential profile between Jinhua fatty ham (FH) and lean ham (LH).
