Abstract
This study investigated the effects of piperine on oxidation-induced porcine myofibrillar protein (MP) gelation behavior and fluorescent advanced glycation end products (fAGEs) formation. Model systems were prepared, lipid oxidation, MP gelling behavior, and fAGEs content were determined daily. The results indicated that lipid oxidation, carbonyl content, S0, cooking loss, and tryptophan fluorescence intensity of MP significantly decreased, whereas gel strength, WHC, and whiteness markedly increased as the concentration of piperine increased (from 0 to 30 μM/g protein), indicating that piperine could reduce lipid oxidation and oxidative damage to MP. The fluorescence intensity of fAGEs markedly decreased (P < 0.05), from 93.1 ± 4.4 to 61.2 ± 3.0, as the concentration of piperine increased from 0 μM/g protein to 30 μM/g protein after 5 days of incubation. These results in model systems suggest that the presence of piperine has an important role in the inhibition of MP oxidation and fAGEs formation.
