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.

This study was done to analyze the cryoprotective influence of ovalbumin (OVA) with kappa-carrageenan (KC) in grass carp myofibrillar proteins during frozen storage. Ca2+-ATPase activity of MP was significantly reduced due to protein denaturation and showed a direct association with decreased sulphydryl (SH) contents and tertiary structural properties. Besides that, an increase in carbonyl, surface hydrophobicity, and dityrosine contents was observed. The addition of OVA-KC significantly restricted the decline in Ca2+-ATPase and SH groups, which were further confirmed by the retarded increase in carbonyls. Furthermore, the addition of OVA-KC increased the stability of α-helix contents. Moreover, MP treated with 6% OVA-KC also improved intermolecular interaction forces linked with gelling and water holding properties of MP. Therefore, it can be concluded that OVA-KC could be used as an effective cryoprotectant in fish and related products for preservation and commercialization.

Ozone Treatments

Physicochemical changes of myofibrillar proteins from silver carp surimi during frozen storage as affected by two manners of ozone treatments were investigated. For preparation of surimi treated with ozone, ozone water (8 mg/L) was used in either the first (To1) or the second (To2) cycle of rinsing. As compared with control samples (Tc) (rinsing two cycles with water), myofibrillar proteins from To1 surimi showed slightly lower free sulfhydryl contents and higher surface hydrophobicity throughout frozen storage and lower Ca2+-ATPase activities after 30 d. To2 did not significantly (P>0.05) affect these physicochemical properties, indicating that myofibrillar proteins structure was well maintained. Consequently, To1 significantly (P>0.05) decreased breaking force of surimi gels while To2 did not significantly (P>0.05) affect gel breaking force. In addition, the whiteness of surimi gels was increased more obviously by To2 than by To1. The results indicate that To2 could be used as a mild oxidation treatment for improving white color of silver carp surimi without negatively affecting gel texture.

The antioxidant mechanism of three plant extracts on the oxidative myofibrillar proteins oxidized by Fe3+/H2O2 at 0 °C for 12 h was analyzed. These plant extracts were added to myofibrillar proteins with the concentrations of 0.5 and 1 mg/mL Besides, the group without added extracts was adopted as controls. Total sulfhydryl content, carbonyls, surface hydrophobicity, and protein cross-linking, protein gel properties were analyzed. In the meantime, the oxidized suspensions were processed as protein gels. Then, the water-holding capacity and the hardness of gels were analyzed. The resulted showed that the suspensions of three plant extracts and the oxidized myofibrillar proteins led to a significant decrease in surface hydrophobicity, carbonyls and gel hardness of the sulfhydryl group, while three plant extracts promoted aggregation of the myofibrillar proteins and increased water-holding capacity of gels compared with that of the control. The scanning electron microscope showed that the gels structure of the three extracts were obviously better than that of the control group, and the ginger group was the best.Yam saponin exhibited the best antioxidant effect, followed by ginger extract and hesperidin.

Objective: Prehypertensive individuals are at increased risk for developing hypertension and their complication. Many studies show that 2/3 prehypertensive individuals develop hypertension after 4 years. ECG and echocardiography are the routine tests used to assess LV mass. The objective of the research to determine the percentage of change in left ventricular morphology in the ECG, echocardiography, which explore the characteristics of left ventricular structural changes by echocardiography in pre-hypertensive subjects. Materials and method: We studied a total of 50 prehypertensive, 30 males (60%) and 20 females (40%), mean age 48.20±8.47years. 50 normotensive volunteers as control participants. These subjects were examined for ECG and echocardiography. Results: In prehypertensive group, with 18% of left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram, 12% of left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography; in the control group, we did not find any subjects with left ventricular hypertrophy. In the group with left ventricular hypertrophy, mostly eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy (83.33%), concentric left ventricular hypertrophy is 16.67%. Restructuring of left ventricular concentric for 15.9% of subjects without left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography. Conclusion: There have been changed in left ventricular morphology even in prehypertensive

Constitutive Parameters

As shown recently, oleic acid (OA) in complex with lactoferrin (LF) causes the death of cancer cells, but no mechanism(s) of that toxicity have been disclosed. In this study, constitutive parameters of the antitumor effect of LF/OA complex were explored. Complex LF/OA was prepared by titrating recombinant human LF with OA. Spectral analysis was used to assess possible structural changes of LF within its complex with OA. Structural features of apo-LF did not change within the complex LF:OA = 1:8, which was toxic for hepatoma 22a cells. Cytotoxicity of the complex LF:OA = 1:8 was tested in cultured hepatoma 22a cells and in fresh erythrocytes. Its anticancer activity was tested in mice carrying hepatoma 22a. In mice injected daily with LF-8OA, the same tumor grew significantly slower. In 20% of animals, the tumors completely resolved. LF alone was less efficient, i.e., the tumor growth index was 0.14 for LF-8OA and 0.63 for LF as compared with 1.0 in the control animals. The results of testing from 48 days after the tumor inoculation showed that the survival rate among LF-8OA-treated animals was 70%, contrary to 0% rate in the control group and among the LF-treated mice. Our data allow us to regard the complex of LF and OA as a promising tool for cancer treatment.
