Article Abstract
Rabbit meat, recognized for its nutritional value, is gaining global attention. However, the inferior functional properties of rabbit myofibrillar proteins lead to quality degradation during the production process. Glycosylation represents an effective method for enhancing protein functionality. This study investigated the glycosylation modification of rabbit myofibrillar proteins. The results demonstrated that solubility of glucose-glycosylated products increased by 34 %, while the reduction capacity improved from 0.15 mg/mL to 1.6 mg/mL. The·OH free radical scavenging ability increased from 63.94 % to 94.21 %. β-Glucan-glycosylated products exhibited the highest thermal stability, and their DPPH free radical scavenging rate increased from 19.68 % to 76.21 %. Glycosylation also induced changes in protein conformation, characterized by a 10-30 °C increase in thermal denaturation peak temperature, gradual attenuation of endogenous fluorescence intensity, gradual enhancement of λ redshift, and a 30-40 % decrease in surface hydrophobicity. Molecular docking simulations revealed that the primary interactions between glucose, lactose, and β-Glucan with myofibrillar proteins involve hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. In conclusion, glycosylation can effectively improve the functional properties of proteins, contributing to the development and production of high-quality, stable, and nutritious rabbit meat products.

The application of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) as cryoprotectants in frozen foods has rarely been explored. In this study, the cryoprotective effect of CNF (2, 4 and 6 % w/w) on mechanically separated chicken meat (MSCM) surimi-like material was investigated, during frozen storage (5 and 60 days) under temperature fluctuation. Surimi-like without cryopreservation agents was more susceptible to protein oxidation due to ice recrystallization.

The present study was performed to investigate the digestive profiles of snakeheads' belly muscles (BM), tail muscles (TM) dorsal muscles (DM), and eye muscles (EM), with further explorations of relevant factors. Kinetic models were adopted to describe the digestion process with crucial parameters. BM showed the highest digestibility and digestive rate, followed by DM, TM, and EM.

Excessive oxidation of protein and lipids in pork leads to quality degradation and loss of nutrients. Kappa-selenocarrageenan (Se-K) can not only be used as a selenium enhancer but also as an antioxidant. To explore potential antioxidants that could be applied to pork, the effect of Se-K on myofibrillar protein (MP) and lipid oxidation was investigated.

BAG3 contributes to the maintenance of proteostasis through chaperone-assisted selective autophagy. This function is impaired by a single amino acid exchange (P209L) in the protein, which causes myofibrillar myopathy-6 (MFM6). This disease manifests as severe skeletal muscle weakness, neuropathy and restrictive cardiomyopathy.

Sous vide, a cooking method that involves vacuum-sealed fish at low temperatures, yields a uniquely tender, easily flaked texture. Previous research on sous-vide tenderization has focused on thermal protein denaturation. On the other hand, the contribution of proteases, activated at low temperatures in fish meat, has been suggested.
