Abstract:

Pork longissimus dorsi muscles of normal and PSE quality were sampled to investigate the effects of solution conditions such as pH as well as NaCl and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) concentration on the solubility and heat-induced gel strength of porcine myofibrillar proteins by the analyses of absorbance, textural properties and SDS-PAGE profile. Results showed that pH, NaCl and polyphosphate concentration all had a significant effect on the above parameters of porcine myofibrillar proteins (P < 0.05), and high protein solubility achieved by the adjustment of solution conditions favored the improvement of functional properties of PSE porcine myofibrillar protein.

Key words: PSE pork, solubility, gel strength
