Abstract

effects of HHP on the texture properties of eel surimi, eel myofibrillar protein (MP) structure, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity were studied. In this study, eel surimi samples were treated with HHP at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 MPa. Texture profiling analysis results of eel surimi under HHP (> 400 MPa) showed that the hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness of surimi had significantly increased compared to control, which greatly improved the quality of surimi. HHP could convert the α-helix and β-sheet to random coil and β-turn, enhancing the contents of the interior hydrophobic and reactive sulfhydryl groups. The hardness, adhesiveness, chewiness, and springiness of surimi showed a negative relationship with the α-helix and β-sheet, and a positive correlation with random coil and β-turn. The ACE inhibitory activity of MP after HHP treatment increased, and the ACE inhibitory activity was highly (76.9%) observed at 300 MPa, which was increased by 16.5% compared with that of the control group. A positive relationship between the hydrophobic and ACE inhibitory activity of MP, and a negative relationship with the β-sheet structure were observed. The overall results suggested that structurally induced changes can be a major cause of the significant enhance of texture of surimi and ACE inhibitory activity of MP under HHP.
