Abstract
The states of protons within food items are highly related to their physical attributes. In this study, the effect of cooking methods including boiling, steaming, roasting and frying on proton dynamics, physicochemical parameters and microstructure of Spanish mackerel was assessed by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. The treatment of cooking resulted in a significant reduction of proton mobility and declined freedom of protons. The state changes of protons can be monitored easily in an intuitive and non-destructive manner during various cooking process. The treatments of boiling, steaming, roasting and frying resulted in different cooking loss and similar water-holding capability. A significant increase of total carbonyl content and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances was found, while a decrease of the values for free thiols and surface hydrophobicity was observed. The analysis of circular dichroism spectroscopy and cryo-scanning electron microscopy showed significant structural change. The correlation coefficients of Rcal2 and Rcv2 from partial least squares (PLS) regression models were more than 0.980, suggesting good correlation between LF-NMR data and hardness, resilience, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, and adhesiveness. Good recoveries and a relatively small coefficient of variation (CV) were obtained from the PLS regression models, indicating good reliability and accuracy in predicting texture parameters for mackerel samples.
