Improving the Quality of Low-Salt Beef Myofibrillar Protein Gels with L-Lysine and Konjac Glucomannan: Water Retention, Texture, and Protein Structural Changes
Reducing sodium in meat products is nutritionally desirable, but salt reduction often weakens myofibrillar protein gelation and reduces texture quality and water retention. This study investigated the effects of L-lysine (Lys) and konjac glucomannan (KGM) on the physicochemical properties, gel characteristics, and stru...
