Micro-Electrophoretic Study of the Sarcoplasmic Fraction in the Dry-Cured Goat Raw Ham
نویسندگان
چکیده
The water-soluble protein fractions in the “Violino di capra” goat dry cured ham were studied by using the “Lab-on-a-chip” version of a size-based capillary electrophoresis, and the results were compared with those obtained from the analysis of the corresponding fraction of pork meat and raw ham. The system automatically determined the relative concentration of each protein present in the sarcoplasmic fraction samples, where the nearly all proteins ranged from 24 kDa to 62.5 kDa, and made possible a supposition of the proteolysis process taking place after ripening of the goat raw ham. We propose the use of such technique as high-quality and routine analysis method in the biochemistry of food proteins.

Proteomic Identification of Small (<2000 Da) Myoglobin Peptides Generated in Dry-Cured Ham
Myoglobin is a very important sarcoplasmic protein responsible for the colour of meat and meat products. This protein is degraded during post-mortem period (ageing) as well as during longer processes such as dry curing. In the present study, a total of eleven naturally generated fragments of myoglobin detected at the end of the processing of dry-cured ham have been identified for the first time...
متن کاملEffect of Particular Breed on the Chemical Composition, Texture, Color, and Sensorial Characteristics of Dry-cured Ham
The present study demonstrates the impact of specific breed on the characteristics of dry-cured ham. Eighty thighs from Korean native pig (KNP), crossbreed (Landrace×Yorkshire)♀×Duroc♂ (LYD), Berkshire (Ber), and Duroc (Du) pig breeds (n = 10 for each breed) were used for processing of dry-cured ham. The thighs were salted with 6% NaCl (w/w) and 100 ppm NaNO2, and total processing time was 413 ...
متن کاملA tentative characterization of volatile compounds from Iberian Dry-Cured Ham according to different anatomical locations. A detailed study
The elaboration of Iberian dry-cured ham is a long process of ripening (about 2-3 years). During this time, the lipids undergo a great transformation. Several studies have been carried out to see the principal changes that occur in the lipid fraction during the dry-cured processing of Iberian ham, although these studies have been done with intramuscular fat. Reactions of hydrolysis and oxidatio...
متن کاملEstimation of the genetic admixture composition of Iberian dry-cured ham samples using DNA multilocus genotypes.
Under current Spanish regulations, the pigs that provide the raw material for the preparation of the country's most appreciated meat-derived product, dry-cured Iberian ham, must be of a specific genetic composition. Only the Duroc breed is accepted for crossing with Iberian pigs, and a maximum of 50% of the Duroc genome is permitted in the animals used to make this ham. This paper describes a s...

The aim of this work was to define reliable markers of muscle and processing time in dry-cured ham using a rapid, precise semi quantitative method for the protein fraction soluble in low ionic strength buffer. For this purpose protein labchip Agilent was used to separate proteins and peptides and accurately determine their molecular weights and concentrations electrophoretically. In this way th...
