Meat proteins myosin

That the radiolysis of meats containing similar proteins and comparable fatty acids involves similar primary and secondary processes leading to a common set of radicals stable at -40°C is shown by the ESR spectra in Figure 12 for irradiated, enzyme-inactivated chicken, beef, ham, and pork [3, 62], These spectra reflect the commonality in radicals derived from the muscle proteins, myosin and actin, and fi-om the constituent triglycerides, which have slightly different fatty acid compositions. The minor consequences of this compositional...

In a muscle tissue (Fig lb), the fiber cells are thin and elongated as opposed to the polygonal cells in plants. The major myofibrillar proteins, myosin and actin, form the myofilament bundles in the sarcoplasm of the fiber cell. Bundles of fiber cells form the muscle tissue. Connective tissue distributed between individual (endomysium) and bundles of fiber cells (perimysium) as well as around the whole muscle (epimysium) holds the cells and the muscle tissue together. Majority of lipids is located in the adipose tissue depots associated with the connective tissue between the bundles of fiber cells in poultry and red meat as well as fish muscle [2]. 

Lawrie (1985) classified meat proteins into three types salt-soluble (myofibrillar) proteins, water-soluble (sarcoplasmic) proteins, and insoluble connective tissue proteins. The myofibrillar proteins actin, myosin and actomyosin are the major proteins responsible for determining the heat stability of comminuted meat emulsions.

Salt—Sodium chloride is added to processed meats for preservative and palatability reasons. The addition of salt makes it possible to distribute certain perishable meats through what are often lengthy and complicated distribution systems. Also, in products such as wieners, bologna, and canned ham, fat solubilizes myosin, the major meat protein, and causes the meat particles to hold together the meat can then be sliced without falling apart. 

In vitro, the enzyme is able to catalyze crosslinking of whey proteins, soy proteins, wheat proteins, beef myosin, casein, and crude actomyosin (which is refined from mechanically deboned meat), improving functional properties such as the texture of food products [49-53], Bonds formed by transglutaminase exhibit a high resistance to proteolytic degradation [54],... 

In contrast to milk, where samples are primarily derived from cows, meat analysis has to be performed in samples of a widely different animal origin including cattle, lamb, swine, poultry, and fish. Muscle is a complex matrix with a pH of 5.7, composed of muscle fibers, various types of connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, and bones. Sarcoplasmic proteins such as myoglobin, and glycolytic enzymes are soluble in water while the myofibrillar proteins such as myosin and actin are soluble in concentrated salt solutions (14). The connective tissue proteins, collagen and elastin, are insoluble in both solvents. 

Important constituents of muscle fibres are two proteins, actin and myosin, which are involved in muscle contraction (Chapter II.5). Although the composition of meat is very variable, a representative average composition is listed in Table 12.21.

The amino acid composition shows relatively high amounts of Arg (12%) and Lys (9%) and little Pro. The paramyosin molecule consists of two peptide chains (M ) 95,000-125,000), each of which is 120 nm long, has a helical structure and is twisted to a rod. In fact, two disulfide bonds contribute to the stability of the molecule. It forms the core in the thick filaments and is surrounded by myosin. In the production of gels, it influences the rheological properties and is the reason why gels made from mollusk meat are more elastic and more cohesive than gels made from fish protein.
