This study aimed to investigate the effects of chitosan (CS) /collagen (Clg) films loaded with Pleurotus ostreatus polysaccharide-EGCG conjugates (POP-EGCG) and ε-Polylysine (ε-PL, PL) on the functional properties of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in refrigerated pork. The microstructural changes in muscle tissue were examined using H&E staining and SEM, along with a comprehensive evaluation of the extent of MPs oxidation and degradation and conformational changes. The results showed that compared with the other films, the CS/Clg/POP-EGCG/PL film maintained the compactness of pork myofibrillar structure. The CS/Clg/POP-EGCG/PL film effectively inhibited the oxidation degradation of MPs after 12 days, which had the highest solubility (71.03 %), total sulfhydryl content (6.20 mol/105 g·protein), free sulfhydryl content (3.44 mol/105 g·protein) and Ca2+-ATPase activity (4.50 μmol Pi·mg−1·protein·h−1). It also showed the lowest surface hydrophobicity (9.28 μg/mg·protein), carbonyl content (7.80 nmol/mg·protein), MFI (79.73), and TCA-soluble peptide content (1.51 μmol tyrosine/g muscle). Furthermore, the CS/Clg/POP-EGCG/PL film partially prevented the unfolding of MPs secondary structures and the attenuation of fluorescence intensity, thereby effectively delaying the conformational changes of MPs. Therefore, the CS/Clg/POP-EGCG/PL film effectively maintains the functional properties of MPs during storage by preventing muscle fiber structure damage, delaying oxidative degradation, and maintaining protein conformation, thereby promoting its practical application in meat packaging.
