Abstract
During freeze-thaw (FT) cycles, protein structural degradation, lipid and protein oxidation can lead to quality deterioration of beef samples. To address this issue, we developed a cost-effective and easy-to-operate carboxymethyl cellulose sodium-tea polyphenol (CMC-TP) ice coating to inhibit quality deterioration caused by these factors. The beef samples were characterized for various quality attributes, lipid and protein oxidation, and protein structure. The results demonstrated that the CMC-TP ice coating significantly inhibited the deterioration in water-holding capacity (WHC) and tenderness of the beef samples (P < 0.05). Analysis of peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid (TBARS), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), and carbonyl content revealed that the CMC-TP ice coating significantly suppressed lipid and protein oxidation during FT cycles (P < 0.05). Additionally, assessments of total sulfhydryl content, fluorescence intensity, and surface hydrophobicity indicated that the CMC-TP ice coating effectively mitigated protein structural degradation through antioxidant and cryoprotective effects (P < 0.05). Therefore, the CMC-TP ice coating can enhance the FT stability of beef.
