Apparent specific heat of chicken breast patties and their constituent proteins by differential scanning calorimetry
Chicken breast meat yielded three endothermic transitions, with peak transition temperatures of 53, 70, and 79 degrees C. Comparison with the purified protein fractions indicated that these transitions corresponded to denaturation of myofibrillar (53 degrees C) and sarcoplasmic (70 and 79 degrees C)...

Summary: | Chicken breast meat yielded three endothermic transitions, with peak transition temperatures of 53, 70, and 79 degrees C. Comparison with the purified protein fractions indicated that these transitions corresponded to denaturation of myofibrillar (53 degrees C) and sarcoplasmic (70 and 79 degrees C) proteins. The apparent specific heat profile of chicken breast meat was successfully modeled as a weighted average of the apparent specific heat of the constituent proteins. The specific heats of sarcoplasmic protein, myofibrillar protein, and chicken breast meat were strongly influenced by temperature; however, the specific heat of stromal protein was nearly constant across the temperature range considered (i.e., 10 to 100 degrees C) |
