Controlled Oxidative Modification With Glucose Oxidase To Enhance The Rheological And Gelling Properties Of Myofibrillar Proteins, Xu Wang
Theses and Dissertations--Animal and Food Sciences
This study investigated the feasibility of oxidative modification with glucose oxidase (GluOx) to enhance the rheological and gelling properties of myofibrillar protein. Differential oxidative modifications of myofibrillar protein (MP) by hydroxyl radicals generated in an enzymatic system with glucose oxidase (GluOx) in the presence of glucose/FeSO4 compared to a Fenton system (H2O2/FeSO4) were investigated. Firmer and more elastic MP gels were produced by the GluOx-oxidizing system than by the Fenton system at comparable H2O2 levels due to an altered radical reaction pathway.
The study further explored the effect of GluOx-mediated …
