Abstract: Label-free liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was employed for proteome profiling of commercial chicken and pork in present study. In addition, the differences in the variety and amounts of small peptides between fresh and cooked samples of both meat species were compared. The results showed that fresh chicken mainly contained > 100 kD proteins with a pI ranging from 6 to 11. Most proteins in chicken soap ranged between 10 kD and 150 kD and revealed a pI of 4-9. Fresh pork also mainly contained 100 kD proteins with an pI ranging from 6 to 11. Most proteins in pork soap were 10-100 kD and had a pI of 3-9. Hence, similarly processed samples of different meat species differed in the proteome, suggesting indexes obtained in proteome profiling can provide a new strategy for meat quality evaluation.
