Abstract

The present research work was based on evaluating the effects of Eucommia ulmoides leaf extract (EULE) on the technological quality and protein oxidation of cooked pork sausage during refrigerated storage. Sausages were manufactured with different levels of EULE (0, 0.15, and 0.3 g/kg) and stored at 4 °C for 3, 20, and 40 d, respectively. Quality attributes including cooking loss, texture, and color were evaluated, and the total carbonyl and total sulfhydryl as well as the specific markers α-aminoadipic acid semialdehyde (AAS) and lysinonorleucine (LNL) were analyzed for protein oxidation. The results revealed that the inclusion of EULE exhibited effectiveness in reducing the formation of protein carbonyls, particularly AAS and LNL, while inhibiting the loss of total sulfhydryl. Nevertheless, EULE increased the cooking loss, hardness, and chewiness of the sausages compared to the control group. These findings demonstrated that EULE could be considered a potential natural antioxidant for use in sausage production.
