Resumen:The giant squid (Dosidicus gigas) is an abundant marine species with high protein content, making it a promising resource for the food and biomaterial industries. This study aimed to investigate the effect of temperature (25–100 °C) on the structural changes in sarcoplasmic, myofibrillar, and stromal proteins isolated from squid mantle. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and circular dichroism (CD) were employed to monitor modifications in secondary structure, while field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to examine morphological characteristics. The FT-IR analysis revealed temperature-induced transitions in amide I, II, and A bands, indicating unfolding and aggregation processes, particularly in myofibrillar and stromal proteins. CD results confirmed a loss of α-helix content and an increase in β-sheet structures with rising temperature, especially above 60 °C, suggesting progressive denaturation. FE-SEM micrographs illustrated clear morphological differences: sarcoplasmic proteins displayed smooth, amorphous structures; myofibrillar proteins exhibited fibrous, porous networks; and stromal proteins presented dense and layered morphologies. These findings highlight the different thermal sensitivities and structural behaviors of squid muscle proteins and provide insight into their potential functional applications in thermally processed foods and bio-based materials.
