BACKGROUND: Hemoglobin (Hb) is a lipid oxidation promoter in fish muscle. Phospholipase A2 (PLA2; EC 3.1.1.4) is linked to an increased resistance to lipid oxidation of frozen–thawed cod fillets via an unknown mechanism. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism of Hb‐mediated lipid oxidation with a focus on ferryl Hb and methemoglobin (metHb), the pro‐oxidative Hb species, and to examine how porcine pancreatic PLA2 inhibits Hb‐mediated lipid oxidation in washed cod muscle (WCM). Lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were measured as primary and secondary lipid oxidation products, respectively. The formation of metHb and ferryl Hb was also monitored. RESULTS: Ferryl Hb and metHb formed during the Hb‐mediated lipid oxidation. PLA2 inhibited the formation of LOOHs and TBARS and suppressed the formation of metHb and ferryl Hb. WCM was pre‐oxidized by hemin to increase the amount of LOOHs. PLA2 promoted the depletion of LOOHs in the pre‐oxidized WCM with limited TBARS formation at the expense of the heme moiety of Hb. CONCLUSION: The results of the present study suggest that ferryl Hb may play a role in Hb‐mediated lipid oxidation and that PLA2 from pig pancreas may work together with Hb as a novel antioxidant with an ability to remove pre‐formed LOOHs from a lipid substrate. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry
