The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and textural properties of heat-induced gels prepared with pork muscles irradiated with gamma rays, electron beams, and X-rays. Pork muscles were irradiated at 5 kGy using the different irradiation sources, and heat-induced gels were prepared from the irradiated pork muscles at a protein concentration of 5 mg/mL. Each irradiation treatment produced lower water-holding capacity, protein solubility, apparent viscosity, hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness than the control gel prepared with non-irradiated pork muscle ( < 0.05). In addition, gamma irradiation was more influential than electron or X-ray irradiation on the negative impacts on water-holding capacity and texture of heat-induced gels. Therefore, this study suggests that the irradiation source could be one of the significant factors affecting gelling properties of irradiated meat.
本研究的目的是调查用伽马射线、电子束和X射线辐照的猪肉肌肉制备的热诱导凝胶的物理化学和质地特性。使用不同的辐照源在5千戈瑞剂量下对猪肉肌肉进行辐照,并以5毫克/毫升的蛋白质浓度从辐照后的猪肉肌肉中制备热诱导凝胶。与用未辐照猪肉肌肉制备的对照凝胶相比,每种辐照处理产生的持水能力、蛋白质溶解度、表观粘度、硬度、弹性、内聚性、胶粘性和咀嚼性均较低(P<0.05)。此外,伽马辐照对热诱导凝胶的持水能力和质地的负面影响比电子或X射线辐照更显著。因此,本研究表明辐照源可能是影响辐照肉凝胶特性的重要因素之一。
