    Abstract:
    In this study, the effect of hemin and non-heme iron on the biochemical and gelling properties of chicken myofibrillar protein (MP) was compared. Results revealed that free radicals from hemin incubated MP were significantly higher than that in FeCl3 incubated samples (P < 0.05), and had higher ability to initiate protein oxidation. The carbonyl content, surface hydrophobicity, random coil increased with oxidant concentration, whereas the total sulfhydryl and α-helix content decreased in both oxidizing systems. The turbidity and particle size were increased after oxidant treatment, indicating oxidation promoted the cross-linking and aggregation of protein, and the degree of aggregation was higher in hemin treated MP compared with that incubated with FeCl3. The biochemical changes of MP resulted in an uneven and loose gel network structure, which significantly reduced the gel strength and water holding capacity (WHC) of the gel.
