Abstract: Myofibrillar proteins are a kind of proteins, which reveal an important effect on water-holding capacity, texture properties and sensor quality of foods due to the functional properties of myofibrillar proteins. Glycosylation is an effective method to modify proteins, which have a wide range of application prospects. In this paper, the mechanisms and methods of glycosylation reaction between myofibrillar proteins and reducing sugars, and enhanced effect of glycosylation on solubility, emulsion and thermal stability have been reviewed. The future research directions have also proposed.

Key words: myofibrillar protein, glycosylation modification, functional property
