Figure 1: Analytical C18 reverse-phase chromatography of a selected fraction obtained after size-exclusion chromatography and preparative reverse-phase chromatography of a dry-cured ham extract. Peak named as “Peak 1” was further characterized by mass spectrometry. Figure 2: MALDI-TOF MS of peak 1 obtained after reverse-phase chromatography (Fig. 1). Black arrows indicate ions that were further analyzed by MS/MS. CONCLUSIONS Two actin fragments of small size have (1501.5 and 1559.5 Da) been isolated and identified for the first time in a dry-cured ham extract at the end of processing, confirming the extensive proteolysis of this protein during curing. These findings contribute to know more about the complex mechanisms taking place in postmortem muscle and whose enzyme groups would be mainly implicated in the proteolytic processes.
