Reactive oxygen species (ROS) affect meat quality through multiple biochemical pathways. To investigate the effect of ROS on postmortem glycolysis and tenderness of bovine muscle, ROS content, glycolytic potential, glycolysis rate-limiting enzyme activities, expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), serine-threonine kinase (AKT), phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT), and tenderness were determined in the H2O2 group and control group. Results showed that the H2O2 group exhibited significantly higher ROS content within 48 h, coupled with increased glycolytic potential, pH decline, hexokinase (HK), and phosphofructokinase activities (PFK) early postmortem. These were attributed to ROS-induced PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation and resultant HIF-1α accumulation. Moreover, shear force in the H2O2 group reached the peak 12 h earlier and decreased obviously after 24 h, accompanied by a significantly higher myofibril fragmentation index (MFI). These findings suggested that ROS drive HIF-1α accumulation by activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby accelerating glycolysis and tenderization of postmortem bovine muscle.
