Abstract:
Protein oxidation is a complex chemical process that pervades the entirety of the food domain. It is governed by two primary mechanisms: the direct oxidation by active entities and the indirect oxidation by secondary oxidation byproducts like lipid oxidation, influenced by many factors. The oxidation of proteins in livestock products readily occurs post-processing and storage through techniques such as freezing, cooking, ultrasonication, among others, leading to protein carbonylation and subsequent alterations in structure. Consequently, the purpose of this manuscript is to scrutinize the impacts of conventional processing and storage methodologies on protein oxidation in livestock products, delineating potential mechanisms, action sites, and influential factors implicated in this progression. Additionally, we delve into the ramifications of protein oxidation on the processing attributes of livestock products, while venturing into forthcoming trends and obstacles to set a groundwork for ensuring and regulating the caliber of these commodities.
