Myosin was the main protein in carp gel.The dynamical rheological behavior of myosin from silver carp was investigated by measuring the changes of secondary structure,three main chemical interactions including disulfide bond,non-disulfide covalent bond and hydrophobic interaction,and aggregation behavior.Myosin tail denatured and α-helix unfolded drastically in the range of 35 ~ 55℃.Its surface hydrophobicity increased dramatically after hydrophobic side chains of denatured myosin were exposed and myosin molecules aggregated.At this temperature,the sulfhydryls in myosin head were oxidized and converted to disulfide bond.In the range of 55 ~ 80 ℃,disulfide bond and surface hydrophobicity also increased slowly.Nevertheless,non-disulfide covalent bond decreased.During the formation of myosin gel,storage modulus increased at the following two temperature range,28.4 ~ 37 ℃ and 40.3 ~ 69 ℃,from 1.08 Pa to 246.90 Pa.The contributions of these chemical interactions on storage modulus were different at different temperature ranges.In 28.4 ~ 37 ℃ and 40.3 ~ 50 ℃ ranges,all these chemical interactions increased dramatically with temperature increasing.In the 50 ~ 69.5 2 range,with increased temperature,disulfide bond and hydrophobic interaction increased,but non-disulfide covalent bond decreased.
