Effect of edible oil type on the formation of protein-bound Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine in roasted pork patties.

ABSTRACT

Protein-bound Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), an advanced glycation end product within meat products, poses a potential health risk to humans. The objective of this study was to explore the impact of various edible oils on the formation of protein-bound CML in roasted pork patties. Eleven commercially edible oils including lard oil, corn oil, palm oil, olive oil, flaxseed oil, blended oil, camellia oil, walnut oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, and colza oil were added to pork tenderloin mince, respectively, at a proportion of 4 % to prepare raw pork patties. The protein-bound CML contents in the pork patties were determined by HPLC-MS/MS before and after roasting at 200 °C for 20 min. The results indicated that walnut oil, flaxseed oil, colza oil, olive oil, lard oil, corn oil, blended oil, and palm oil significantly reduced the accumulation of protein-bound CML in pork patties, of which the inhibition rate was in the 24.43 %-37.96 % range. Moreover, the addition of edible oil contributed to a marginal reduction in the loss of lysine. Meanwhile, glyoxal contents in pork patties were reduced by 16.72 %-43.21 % after roasting. Other than blend oil, all the other edible oils restrained protein oxidation in pork patties to varying degrees (between 20.16 % and 61.26 %). In addition, camellia oil, walnut oil, and flaxseed oil increased TBARS values of pork patties by 2.2-8.6 times when compared to the CON group. After analyzing the fatty acid compositions of eleven edible oils, five main fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid) were selected to establish Myofibrillar protein-Glucose-fatty acids systems to simulate the roasting process. The results showed that palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid obviously mitigated the formation of myofibrillar protein-bound CML, exhibiting suppression rates ranging from 10.38 % to 40.32 %. In conclusion, the addition of specific edible oil may curb protein-bound CML production in roasted pork patty by restraining protein or lipid oxidation, reducing lysine loss, and suppressing glyoxal production, which may be attributed to the fatty acid compositions of edible oils. This finding provides valuable guidance for the selection of healthy roasting oils in the thermal processing of meat products.
