Abstract: In the present study, a method for the proteomic analysis of Xuanwei ham was established using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Muscle protein from Xuanwei ham was extracted with trichloroacetic acid-acetone, quantified, and analyzed by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis and SDS-PAGE. After electrophoresis, the gels were stained with coomassie brilliant blue, and the observed protein spots were analyzed using imageMaster 2D platinum software and one of them was selected and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS) after tripsin digestion. The obtained peptide mapping fingerprint was analyzed using Mascot software. A total of 1749 clear protein spots were observed in the 2-DE pattern of Xuanwei ham, which were mainly distributed over a pH range of 4.0-7.0. The tested protein spot was identified as gamma-2-actin protein and found to have a Mascot score of 129 (threshold was 67). These results demonstrate the successful establishment of a 2-DE method for the proteomic analysis of Xuanwei ham.
