This study aimed to analyze the cryoprotective effect of a ovalbumin (OVA) and β-cyclodextrin (βCD) mixture (3:1, OVA/βCD) on the structure, rheology and gelling properties of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) during 90 days of frozen storage. A mixture of OVA/βCD at different concentrations (0, 2, 4, and 6%) was added to MPs and stored at −18 °C for 90 days. The addition of OVA/βCD significantly decreased the sulfhydryl contents while it increased the surface hydrophobicity, which was closely connected with tertiary structural changes. Circular dichroism analysis showed that the addition of OVA/βCD enhanced the stability of the secondary structure by inhibiting the decline in the α-helix. Rheological properties analysis indicated that 6% OVA/βCD treatment showed better storage modulus (G’) and loss modulus (G”). In addition, treatment of OVA/βCD showed better gel forming properties than the control group (0%), helping to form a homogeneous and denser gel network. The results proved that 6% OVA/βCD could be act as a promising cryoprotectant, which can improve the structure and gel behavior of Culter alburnus MPs during frozen storage. Moreover, OVA/βCD could be a potential alternative to conventional cryoprotectants at the industrial level to increase the economic and commercial values of seafood products.

The aim of the present work was to investigate the physicochemical, biochemical and functional characteristics of both the myofibrils (MF) and actomyosin (AM) of squid mantle (Illex argentinus) and weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa) muscles, and evaluate the influence of the addition of myofibrilar proteins from the squid mantle on the physicochemical and functional properties of those of the weakfish. After extraction, purification and characterization of the MF and AM of both species, emulsions of each protein fraction from each muscle were formulated. Mixtures of the MF or AM of both species were also analyzed. The emulsifying properties were monitoring using the Emulsifying Activity Index (EAI) and Emulsion Stability (ES). In addition, gel pastes were formulated from the squid mantle, weakfish muscle and the mixture of both species, and the following functional properties of the gels assessed: water holding capacity, colour, textural profile analysis (TPA) (hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, gumminess) and gel strength. The EAI values of emulsions formulated with the MF of the mantle were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those formulated from those of weakfish. The incorporation of squid MF in the mixture increased the EAI values. Conversely, the highest ES values were obtained with weakfish MF, and the incorporation of MF weakfish in the mixture increased the ES values. Similar EAI and ES behaviours were observed for the AM of the corresponding species. Irrespective of the thermal treatment, the gel strength of the gelled paste of squid muscle was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of weakfish muscle and of those obtained with the different mixtures. The behaviours of the expressible moisture (EM) from the gelled pastes were similar to those of gel strength. Irrespective of the thermal treatment, the pastes formulated with a high weakfish: mantle ratio showed less water loss. The gelled pastes of squid mantle showed the highest values for whiteness (WI) and the incorporation of squid muscle protein improved the WI of the mixtures.

The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that administration of thyroid hormone [3,5,3′-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3)] could result in oxidation of myofibrillar proteins and, in turn, induce alterations in respiratory muscle function. Daily injection of T3 for 21 days depressed isometric forces of diaphragm fiber bundles across a range of stimulus frequencies (1, 10, 20, 40, 75, and 100 Hz) ( P < 0.05). These reductions in force production were accompanied by a remarkable increment (104%; P < 0.05) in carbonyl groups of myofibrillar proteins. In contrast, T3 treatment has no effects on the carbonyl content in myosin heavy chain. In additional experiments, we have also tested the efficacy of carvedilol, a nonselective β1- β2-blocker that possesses antioxidative properties. Treatment with carvedilol dramatically improved isometric tetanic force production at stimulus frequencies from 40 to 100 Hz ( P < 0.05). Carvedilol also prevented T3-induced contractile protein oxidation ( P < 0.05). These data suggest that the oxidative modification of myofibrillar proteins may account, at least in part, for an impairment of diaphragm in hyperthyroidism.
