Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Reduction of pH during spoilage reduces water holding capacity of proteins
Statement (II): pH does not have any role in changes occurring in properties of proteins and enzymes

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
• C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• D. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Hint:

The water-holding capacity of muscle proteins is lowest at their isoelectric point (pI), where the net charge on the proteins is zero.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
