Proteolytic Activity of Zingiber officinale Extract: Interaction With Myofibrillar Proteins of Different Origins and Functional Effects in Meat Systems

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Ginger‐derived proteases were evaluated for their proteolytic activity toward isolated chicken and pork myofibrils and their effects during meat marination. The ginger extract showed a selective and moderate proteolytic activity, resulting in controlled protein degradation and improved meat quality, including tenderness, juiciness, flavor, and overall ...
