Improvement of myofibrillar protein gel strength ofScomberomorus niphoniusby riboflavin under UVA irradiation

In this study, effects of different concentrations of riboflavin (0, 0.02, and 0.1 μmol/g protein) on myofibrillar protein (MP, Scomberomorus niphonius ) gel were characterized. The gel structure and properties were studied with or without Ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation. Electron spin resonance results showed that riboflavin produced · OH under UVA irradiation, which subsequently oxidized the MP. Compared with the control group, the addition of...
