Evaluation of main post-translational modifications occurring in naturally generated peptides during the ripening of Spanish dry-cured ham

Peptidyl post-translational modifications (PTMs) could influence the final quality of processed meat. In this study, the peptide oxidative phenomena in Spanish dry-cured ham (Biceps femoris muscle) was evaluated at different ripening times (9, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months of processing) evidencing interactions amongst the lipid and protein oxidation, major peptidyl PTMs and the release of free amino acids (FAAs). Results showed that 12 months of processing enabled the most abundant protein-bound carbonyls, while TBARS value was significantly favored (p < 0.001) by ripening. However, FAAs were still intensively generated during overall ripening. Peptidomics and chemometrics further revealed that proteolysis mostly hampered the oxidized peptides rather than the deamidated ones during ripening. Myosin light chain (MYL1 and MYL3) showed high oxidative susceptibility owing to peptidyl methionine and proline oxidation as well as acetaldehyde adduct formation on lysine or histidine residues.
