ABSTRACT
(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is remarkably efficacious in inhibiting the browning of red meat. We therefore propose a hypothesis that EGCG forms complexes with myoglobin, thereby stabilizing its structure and thus preventing browning. This study investigated the interaction mechanism between EGCG and myoglobin. EGCG induced static quenching of myoglobin. Noncovalent forces, including hydrogen bonds and van der Waals, primarily governing the interactions between myoglobin and EGCG. The interactions primarily disrupted myoglobin's secondary structure, thus significantly reducing surface hydrophobicity by 53% (P < 0.05). The modification augmented the solubility and thermal stability of myoglobin. The radius of gyration (Rg) value fluctuated between 1.47 and 1.54 nm, and the hydroxyl groups in EGCG formed an average of 2.93 hydrogen bonds with myoglobin. Our findings elucidated the formation of stable myoglobin-EGCG complexes and the myoglobin-EGCG interaction, thus confirming our initial hypothesis.
