This work was aimed to compare the effect of microwave (MW) heating on the cathepsin L (Cat L)-induced degradation of myofibrillar protein (MP) gels with that of water bath (WB) heating. First, Cat L from silver carp was purified and determined to be 45 kDa. The gel strength of the MW-heated MP gels were significantly higher than those of the WB-heated when Cat L was added (P < 0.05). The gel electrophoresis pattern and scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated that MW heating inhibited the Cat l-induced hydrolysis of MP gels. In addition, the number of sulfhydryl groups and surface hydrophobicity of MW-heated gels were lower than those of WB-heated gels when Cat L was added. These results indicated that MW heating could effectively weaken the degradation of Cat L on MP gels by manipulating disulfide bonds and hydrophobic amino acids, resulting in good gel properties and a compact protein network.
本研究旨在比较微波(MW)加热与水浴(WB)加热对组织蛋白酶L(Cat L)诱导的肌原纤维蛋白(MP)凝胶降解的影响。首先,对鲢鱼中的组织蛋白酶L进行纯化,测定其分子量为45 kDa。添加Cat L时,MW加热的MP凝胶的凝胶强度显著高于WB加热的凝胶(P < 0.05)。凝胶电泳图谱和扫描电子显微镜分析表明,MW加热抑制了Cat L诱导的MP凝胶水解。此外,添加Cat L时,MW加热凝胶的巯基数量和表面疏水性低于WB加热凝胶。这些结果表明,MW加热可通过调控二硫键和疏水氨基酸有效减弱Cat L对MP凝胶的降解,从而产生良好的凝胶特性和紧密的蛋白质网络。
