Popis: The effects of air thawing (AT), water immersion thawing (WT), microwave thawing (MT) and ultrasound combined with slightly acidic electrolyzed water thawing (UST) on the myofibrillar protein (MP) properties (surface hydrophobicity, solubility, turbidity, particle size and zeta potential), protein oxidation (carbonyl content and sulfhydryl content) and structure (primary, secondary and tertiary) of frozen mutton were investigated in comparison with fresh mutton (FM). The solubility and turbidity results showed that the MP properties were significantly improved in the UST treatment. UST treatment could effectively reduce the MP aggregation and enhance the stability, which was similar to the FM. In addition, UST treatment could effectively inhibit protein oxidation during thawing as well. The primary structure of MP was not damaged by the thawing methods. UST treatment could reduce the damage to MP secondary and tertiary structure during the thawing process compared to other thawing methods. Overall, the UST treatment had a positive influence in maintaining the MP properties by inhibiting protein oxidation and protecting protein structure.
