This study investigated the effects of L-arginine soaking on the quality modification of heat-treated Antarctic krill. The results showed that L-arginine can improve the water-holding capacity of krill and promote the transition of myofibrillar proteins from disordered to ordered structures, ultimately improving the quality of heat-treated krill.
Antarctic krill suffers from severe water loss after heating, and its quality deteriorates, so it is in urgent need of a green and healthy improver. In this paper, the effects of L-arginine (L-Arg) soaking on the modification of the quality of heat-treated Antarctic krill and the structure of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in Antarctic krill were investigated. The results showed that L-Arg had an ameliorating effect on heat-treated krill in a concentrationdependent relationship. The water-holding capacity of L-Arg-soaked krill was 1.41 times higher than that of sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) at an equivalent concentration (80 mM). At 120 mM L-Arg soaked, L* and hardness of krill decreased to 58.31 and 334.81 g, while resilience and moisture content increased to 0.47 and 85.29 % after heating, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results revealed that the tissue state of the pH-corrected groups was better than the control, but not as well as that of the pH-uncorrected groups. pH and the guanidinium group in L-Arg both played roles in promoting the transition of MPs from disordered to ordered secondary structures. This transition reduced the exposure of hydrophobic and sulfhydryl groups in MPs, inhibited the protein aggregation and increased the solubility of MPs to 71.61 %, which ultimately improved the quality of heat-treated krill. It is worth noting that the pH effect had a primary influence on the observed effects, while the guanidinium group made a secondary contribution. These results could broaden the potential application of L-Arg as an improver of the quality of heat-treated krill.
