Abstract: ABSTRACT:To study the synergistic tenderization mechanism of compound tenderizer composed of calcium chloride, fig protease and kiwifruit protease on the structure of myofibrillar protein in rabbit hind leg meat, the related protein indicators of the rabbit meat which were treated with compound tenderizer were compared with those treated with the three single tenderizers. The results showed that the compound tenderizer can degrade myofibrillar protein more moderately and effectively (p<0.05); the surface hydrophobicity of myofibrillar protein in calcium chloride group was significantly higher than that in single enzyme groups (p<0.05);The solubility and soluble protein content of myofibrillar protein in single enzyme groups were significantly higher than those in calcium chloride group (p<0.05); the electrophoresis map showed that the myosin light chain and C-protein are mainly degraded by fig protease and the myosin heavy chain is mainly degraded by kiwifruit protease. The above results indicate that there is a synergistic effect among the components of the compound tenderizer, the synergistic mechanism of the compound tenderizer on the level of protein structure was that the calcium chloride makes the protein unfold vigorously and more enzyme binding sites are exposed, moreover those two enzymes have different specificity so that the tenderization effect are ed.
