Proteomic based approach for characterizing 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal induced oxidation of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and goat (Capra hircus) meat myoglobins

Abstract

The study demonstrated better redox stability of buffalo Mb than goat Mb. Our findings confirm the hypothesis that relative effect of HNE was greater for Mb's with 12 ± 1 HIS residues than Mb's with 9 HIS residues and helps meat processors in developing species-specific processing strategies to reduce the color variability.
