The interactions between liposomes and fish myofibrillar protein (surimi ground salted protein, SURP) were evaluated. Liposomes prepared with ultrapure phosphatidylcholine (UPC) or partially purified phosphatidylcholine (PPC) were dispersed at different weight ratio on SURP. Changes in protein stability and structure were evaluated using FTIR, intrinsic fluorescence and free sulfhydryl groups, and changes in liposome properties were studied by dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy. PPC promoted denaturation and aggregation of SURP, reflected in secondary structure loss, exposure of tyrosine residues and increment of free sulfhydryl. UPC produced partial unfolding and changes in the secondary structure of SURP from α-helical to β-strand. Liposome size increased by about 40% and showed modified surface charge after SURP exposure, indicating the formation of protein corona. Surface charge and composition of liposomes influence SURP stability and could exert different effects on the myofibrillar protein network, which is important for liposome applications in surimi products.

The quality of frozen crayfish () is challenged by freeze-thaw (FT) cycles during storage. The effect of freezing methods on the quality of crayfish during FT cycles was investigated by comparing physicochemical properties, microstructure, and myofibrillar protein (MPs) properties. Three methods were used for crayfish freezing, including air convective freezing (AF) at -20 °C and -50 °C, as well as liquid nitrogen freezing (LNF) at -80 °C.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects of phosphorylation and ubiquitination on the degradation of myofibrillar proteins in mutton with different tenderness. The muscles were chosen and divided into tender and tough groups ( = 9), and then stored at 4 °C for 1 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 5 d postmortem. Shear force, pH, myofibril fragmentation index, AMPK activity, E3 ubiquitin ligase abundance, protein phosphorylation, and the ubiquitination levels of muscle samples were measured.

This study focused on the effect of ultrasound-assisted immersion freezing (UIF) with different ultrasound power (200, 400, 600 W) on the physicochemical and digestive properties of beef myofibrillar proteins (BMP). The results showed that the solubility and thermal stability of BMP were significantly increased, when treated with 400 W ultrasound, and the α-helix, β-sheets, β-turns, and random-coil fractions structures content were higher and the fluorescence intensity was closest to that of the control group, demonstrating enhanced structural stability of BMP. The protein digestibility of the UIF-400 W group was significantly enhanced while the particle size of the digested product was reduced, which proved its enhanced digestion characteristics.

The study aimed to assess the oxidative modification behavior of bovine myofibrillar proteins (MPs) cysteines (Cys) by hydroxyl radical (·OH) through the construction of an in vitr Fenton reaction system. The ·OH generated by the Fenton reaction induced large-scale oxidative modification of Cys, and redox proteomics identified a total of 1192 differential oxidation sites (Dos), 59 Dos were located in the MPs structure. The Cys of actin (17 Dos), myosin/myomesin (16 Dos), tenascin (12 Dos) and sarcomere (10 Dos) in the MPs structure showed active oxidative modification behavior towards ·OH, especially with the "-C-X-X-X-X-W-" structure amino acid sequence showed high sensitivity.
