Abstract Excessive salt intake has been increasingly linked to hypertension and consequently increased risk of cardiovascular disease; however, lower salt content will increase quality attributes of emulsion-type meat products, and hence how to avoid such a problem has been one of the research emphases for low-salt meat products. Previous studies demonstrated that the conformation changes of meat batter proteins induced by different salts affects myosin adsorption on the surface of fat globules and ultimately the quality of meat products. In this review, we discuss the effect of the nature of chaotropic ions on the molecular conformation of myosin and the driving forces of conformational transition. It is expected that this review will be helpful for processing high-quality low-salt meat products.
