Functionality Changes in Muscle Proteins Induced by Oxidation and Control Technologies: a Review
Protein oxidation is an innovative topic in meat science.Many studies have investigated the occurrence of protein oxidation right after slaughter and during subsequent processing and cold storage of meat.However,the significance of protein oxidation in meat systems is still poorly understood.The present paper reviews the current knowledge on the mechanisms and consequences of protein oxidation in meat systems and summarizes the antioxidant function of plant extracts aiming to provide a theoretical basis for further investigations on this research topic of considerable interest.
