Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate antioxidant activity of crude peptides with molecular weight less than 3 KDa extracted from Xuanwei ham, Jinhua ham and mutton ham. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS was used for composition analysis of peptides and homologous protein matching. Further, crude peptide (<3 KDa) was purified using G-15 gel filtration chromatography, and the main antioxidant peptide identified. Analysis showed that mutton ham peptide (MHP) has the highest Fe2+ chelating ability, whereas Jinhua ham peptide (JHP) had the highest ABTS and DPPH free radical scavenging ability (P < 0.05). A total of 346, 203 and 296 peptides were identified in JHP, Xuanwei ham peptides (XHP) and MHP, respectively. Most of the peptides were derived from myosin, accounting for 21.97% in JHP, 18.72% in XHP, and 21.96% in MHP. Myosin, actin, myoglobin, troponin, tropomyosin and pyruvate kinase proteins were the main source of peptide differences in the three types of dry cured ham.
