Studies evaluating extrinsic factors on protein oxidation in different muscle foods.

Product Treatment Effect Ref.
Fresh beef tenderloin Salting (NaCl) + TPP or mixture Carbonyl content increase and tryptophan fluorescence intensity loss. Promoted formation of CML and CEL. Lower cooking loss and higher moisture content. [46]
Pork meat Chinese dry sausages Salting (NaCl) (2–4%) Higher doses facilitate the protein oxidation, lipid hydrolysis and oxidation (higher lipase activity, higher TBARS values, and higher LOX activity). [47]
Spanish ham Dry curing (9–24 months) Promoting role on lipid oxidation (higher TBARS values), major peptidyl PTMs and release of FAAs. [49]
Pork ham Dry curing—NaCl replacement with KCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2 No significant differences in acid lipase activity or lipid oxidation. [50]
Mutton ham Dry curing (0–180 days) Increased proteins’ surface hydrophobicity, carbonyl content increase, and thiol content decrease. [51]
BF & SM muscles ham Salting + cold smoking + drying + ripening Higher proteolytic, protein oxidation and total FAAs content in BF than in SM. [52]
Beef jerky Fermentation Carbonyl content and TBARS increase in normal fermentation but at lower levels when starter cultures where used. [53]
Harbin dry sausages Fermentation Carbonyl compounds formation and sulfhydryl loss decreased using mixed cultured starters. [54,55]
Minced beef Cold treatment (4 °C) Carbonyl compounds increase. Free and total thiols decrease. [56]
Obscure pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) Freezing-thawing cycles + LE + OC Increased of sulfhydryl and tryptophan loss. Cross-linkage formation. [57]
Dry-cured pork loins Dry curing + freezing 18 °C, 5 months/thawing 12 h, 4 °C Increased cross linkage through Schiff bases formation. [58]
Pork loins Aging (1ºC, 19 days) + fast-freezing (−80 °C) Carbonyl content and TBARS increased through time. Increased lipid oxidation. [59]
Pork sausages Heat treatment SH groups decrease. Carbonyls and SeS groups increase. [60]
Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) Salting + Freezing Synergistic effect on lipid oxidation: TBARS increase. Increased protein cross-linking formation. [61]
Chicken leg and breast meats Freezing (−7, −12, −18 °C) Higher carbonyl compounds increase at higher temperatures. Decreased sulfhydryl loss at lower temperatures. [62]
Yak meat Air-drying Carbonyl compounds increase. Sulfide bond content increase and total sulfhydryl group decrease. [42]
Rabbit meat Refrigerated vs. superchilled storage Superchilled conditions showed TBARS decrease, lower metmyoglobin percentage, carbonyl content, and sulfhydryl loss. [63]
Rhea americana meat Air- (5 days) and vacuum- storage (28 days) No evolution of protein and lipid oxidation when vacuum storage was used. [64]
Pork patties Guarana seeds extract incorporation Carbonyl compounds and TBARS decrease. [65]
Burger beef patties Rosa canina L. extract incorporation Tryptophan oxidation decrease. Increase formation of Schiff bases. [66]
Duck breast muscle Dietary curcumin supplementation Carbonyl compounds and TBARS decrease. Free amino groups on myofibrillar protein increase. [67]
Frozen-thawed duck breast muscle Dietary resveratrol supplementation Carbonyl compounds decrease and decreased sulfhydryl loss. [68]
