摘要: 本研究以驼肉为原料,系统解析了超声波协同木瓜蛋白酶嫩化处理对驼肉品质特性及体外消化行为的影响,并采用蛋白质组学方法深入探究其品质变化的分子机制。结果显示,与对照组相比,驼肉经协同处理后剪切力、硬度、咀嚼度及内聚性显著降低,弹性显著增加(P<0.05)。基于蛋白质组学技术共鉴定到5 048 个蛋白质和23 609 条肽段,协同处理通过激活钙信号与细胞凋亡通路、下调结构蛋白并富集消化系统通路,破坏肌原纤维并抑制应激修复,从而实现多通路协同嫩化与消化性提升;该过程经差异蛋白与质构特性相关性分析进一步得到验证。通过体外模拟消化后,协同处理组的蛋白消化效率显著提高,其胃蛋白酶水解率((81.94±1.27)%)和总蛋白水解率((90.34±1.72)%)较对照组分别提升了17.57%和18.06%。消化产物中总羰基含量显著上升,总巯基含量相应下降,表明适度氧化进一步改善消化性。此外,驼肉经协同处理其蛋白质构象发生显著改变,表现为内源荧光强度显著降低;电泳结果显示,协同处理组在35~100 kDa区间的蛋白条带密度较对照组减弱,显著提升驼肉嫩度。本研究从分子机制层面阐释了协同处理提升驼肉嫩化与消化品质的内在关联,旨在为驼肉品质的精准调控提供理论与技术支撑。

Abstract: This study systematically investigated the effect of ultrasound-assisted papain treatment on the quality attributes and in vitro digestive behavior of camel meat. Furthermore, proteomic analysis was employed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms governing the quality changes of camel meat. Results indicated that the combined treatment significantly reduced the shear force, hardness, chewiness, and cohesiveness, while significantly increasing the springiness (P < 0.05). Proteomic profiling identified 5 048 proteins and 23 609 peptides, revealing that the combined treatment activated the calcium signaling and apoptosis pathways, downregulated the expression of structural proteins, and enriched digestive system-related pathways, thereby disrupting myofibrils, inhibiting stress repair, and ultimately enhancing both meat tenderness and digestibility through a multi-pathway synergistic mechanism. Correlation analysis between differential proteins and textural properties further verified this mechanism. After in vitro simulated digestion, the combined treatment markedly improved protein digestibility: the pepsin hydrolysis rate, (81.94 ± 1.27)%, and total protein hydrolysis rate, (90.34 ± 1.72)%, increased by 17.57% and 18.06%, respectively, relative to the control group. We observed an elevation in total carbonyl content and a corresponding decrease in total sulfhydryl content, suggesting that moderate oxidation also contributed to improved digestibility. Moreover, the treatment induced significant alterations in protein conformation, as evidenced by decreased intrinsic fluorescence intensity. Electrophoresis results revealed that the combined treatment reduced the density of protein bands in the range of 35–100 kDa compared with the control group, consistent with improved tenderness. Overall, these findings lay a theoretical and technical foundation for the precise regulation of camel meat quality.
