Abstract:
Changes of protein physicochemical indicators and quality of
Portunus pelagicus were investigated, such as salt insoluble protein, ATPase activity, sulfhydryl content, moisture-loss ratios and the sensory evaluation, through spraying liquid nitrogen of -50℃, soaking in liquid of -50℃, air tunnel way freezing at -35℃, and fridge freezing under -20℃.The results indicated that the solubility of actomyosin, ATPase activities and -SH content of myofibrillar protein decreased during storage.Quick-freezing was able to reduce the denaturation of the protein.Soaking in liquid of -50℃ was the best way in maintaining the quality of
P.
pelagicus, while fridge freezing under -20℃was the worst.
