Abstract
The effects of whey protein hydrolysates (WPH) on myofibrillar protein (MP) oxidative stability and the aggregation behavior and the water-holding capacity of pork patties during freeze–thaw (F–T) cycles were investigated. During F–T cycles, the total sulfhydryl content and zeta potential of MP decreased, while peroxide value, surface hydrophobicity, particle size, pressure loss and transverse relaxation times increase. The oxidative stability and the water-holding capacity of pork patties were enhanced by the addition of WPH in a dose-dependent manner, whereas the MP aggregation decreased. The addition of 15% WPH had the most obvious effects on the pork patties, which was similar to that of the 0.02% BHA. After nine F–T cycles, the POV, surface hydrophobicity, particle size and pressure loss of the pork patties with 15% WPH were reduced by 17.20%, 30.56%, 34.67% and 13.96%, respectively, while total sulfhydryl content and absolute value of zeta potential increased by 69.62% and 146.14%, respectively. The results showed that adding 15% WPH to pork patties can be an effective method to inhibit lipid and protein oxidation, reducing protein aggregation and improving the water-holding capacity of pork patties during F–T cycles.
