Abstract

The effects of different thawing methods (ultrasonic microwave thawing, ultrasonic far-infrared thawing, ultrasonic ohmic thawing, ultrasonic vacuum thawing, and ultrasound thawing) on the physicochemical properties of the myofibrillar protein in sea bass were investigated from the protein structure, aggregation degree and oxidation degree. The structural changes of the myofibrillar protein were monitored by Raman spectra, ultraviolet absorption spectra and intrinsic fluorescence spectra. These indicators could help to preliminarily understand the mechanism of myofibrillar protein denaturation caused by different thawing methods at the molecular level. The result of Raman spectra showed that the content of α-helix thawed by ultrasonic microwave thawing was the highest among all thawing methods, which maintaining the protein structure effectively. The ultraviolet absorption spectra and intrinsic fluorescence spectra showed that the ultrasonic microwave thawing could retain the tertiary structure of the protein better, but the structure of the protein thawed by ultrasound was seriously damaged. Particle size, Zeta potential and SDS-PAGE were used to analyze the degree of protein aggregation. Compared with the fresh sample, the particle size and Zeta potential of all the thawing methods were no significantly difference (P>0.05). The electrophoretic band of ultrasonic microwave thawing was the closest to the fresh sample, which indicated the degradation degree of the protein was lower. The contents of total sulfhydryl by ultrasonic far-infrared thawing and ultrasonic microwave thawing were closest to that of the fresh sample, and the solubility by ultrasonic vacuum thawing was the closest to that of the fresh sample. In summary, ultrasonic microwave thawing method is the best to maintain the physicochemical properties of myofibrin.
