Abstract: | The poor water solubility of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) limits their application in food industry, and is directly related to the molecular behavior associated with myosin assembly into filaments. This study aims to explore the effect of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) combined with nonenzymatic glycation on the solubility, structural characteristics, and filament-forming behavior of MPs in low ionic strength media. The results showed that the HIU (200–400 W) application could promote the subsequent glycation reaction between MPs and dextran (DX) and interfere with the electrostatic balance between myosin rods, suppressing the formation of filamentous myosin polymers. Glycated MPs pretreated by 400 W HIU had the highest solubility, which corresponded to the smallest particle size, highest zeta potential, and optimum storage stability (P < 0.05). Structure analysis and microscopic morphology observations suggested that the loss of the MP superhelix and the depolymerization of filamentous polymers were the main mechanisms for MP solubilization. In conclusion, HIU combined with glycation can effectively improve the water solubility of MPs by destroying or suppressing the assembly of myosin molecules. |
