摘要
The pH buffering capacity is an important functionality of muscle proteins, and muscle foods are susceptible to being oxidized during storage and processing. In order to study the effect of oxidation on the pH buffering capacity of myofibrillar proteins, myofibrils extracted from snakehead fish (Channa argus) were oxidized with H2O2. Results showed that increased oxidation led to loss of free sulfhydryl groups, formation of carbonyl groups, increased surface hydrophobicity, and aggregation of myofibrillar proteins. In addition, there was a significant reduction in the content of histidine in oxidized myofibrillar proteins. The pH buffering capacity of myofibrillar proteins significantly decreased from 3.14 ± 0.03 mM H+/(mL × ΔpH) down to 2.55 ± 0.03 mM H+/(mL × ΔpH) after oxidation with 50 mM H2O2. Both oxidized myofibrillar proteins and histidine showed a high pH buffering capacity at pH near 5.8, which is the histidine pKa value. Here, we hypothesize that oxidation-induced changes in the pH buffering capacity of myofibrillar proteins were driven by oxidative modification of histidine and structural changes of myofibrillar proteins. The significance of this study to food industry may be the awareness that protein oxidation may affect pH through changes in buffering capacity. And the use of antioxidants, especially those targeting at histidine will be promising in addressing this issue.
