Effect Of Dried Mushroom Powder On Thiol Content In Lyophilized And Native Bovine Myofibrillar Protein, Allany Chayasing
Food Science (MS) Theses
Thiol oxidation can form disulfide bonds that modify protein conformations, resulting in lower free thiol content. The effect of dried (lyophilized and oven-dried) mushroom powder (Agaricus bisporus or Pleurotus ostreatus) added to bovine lyophilized and native myofibrillar proteins (MP) on thiol oxidation was investigated. Mixtures of 10mg/mL MP with 0.1% and 0.2% mushroom powder in 0.3M NaCl were stored at 2ºC and 80 ºC for 10 days. Oven-dried A. bisporus had higher Folin-Ciocalteu reducing capacity at 8.05±0.71 gallic acid equivalent (GAE) mg/g compared to 4.97±0.20 GAE mg/g oven-dried P. ostreatus. Lyophilized P. ostreatus contained 164% more ergothioneine than …

Ferrous iron chelating, ABTS radical scavenging, and ferric reducing antioxidant activity of mushroom stipe peptides obtained using Protamex® and V8 protease has not been investigated. Additionally, the effects of peptides on protein carbonyl formation during myofibrillar oxidation is unknown. Oxidation of lysine, arginine, and proline in myofibrillar protein from red meat results in reduced meat quality owing to changes in water composition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the antioxidant performance of <1 kDa and 1-3 kDa mushroom peptides obtained by Protamex®-V8 hydrolysis against mushroom hydrolysate, mushroom protein, and mushroom stipe for radical scavenging, ferrous chelating, and ferric reducing activity, as well as their effects on protein carbonyl formation within a protein oxidation system. <1 kDa peptides exhibited significantly higher (p < 0.05) in-vitro ferrous iron chelating activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity as compared to mushroom stipe and 1-3 kDa peptides. Whereas, 1-3 kDa peptides demonstrated significantly …
