Transglutaminase

Transglutaminase- is a natural enzyme that can catalyze the formation of covalent bonds between the amino acid residues Lysine and Glutamine in proteins, has the ability to glue protein-containing foods together. When raw meats are bound with TG, they typically have the strength and appearance of whole uncut muscles.

Product Features

1. Strong adhesion: Covalent bonds formed by TG catalysis are difficult to break under normal non enzymatic catalytic conditions, so after processing minced meat with TG, they will not scatter after freezing, slicing, and cooking.
2. Good pH stability: The optimal pH for TG is 6.0, but TG still exhibits high activity within the pH range of 5.0-8.0.
3. Strong thermal stability: The optimal temperature for TG is around 50 ℃, and it has high activity in the range of 45-55 ℃. Especially in protein food systems, the thermal stability of TG is significantly improved, which prevents it from rapidly becoming inactive during general food processing.
4. During the catalysis of protein reactions by TG, there is a negative correlation between temperature (within the temperature required to maintain enzyme activity) and time: higher reaction temperature leads to shorter reaction time; On the contrary, the lower the temperature, the longer the time. The physicochemical properties of different types of food determine the relationship between temperature and time during the reaction process.
5. Safety of use: Due to the widespread presence of TG in animal tissues, people have been consuming foods containing (- glutamyl) lysine heteropeptide bonds catalyzed by TG. Therefore, foods produced with TG are not only harmless to the human body, but also beneficial to human health.

Main application

• The role of TG in meat processing: improving texture, taste, and promoting cross-linking.
• Application in dairy products: Improve stability, viscosity, and reduce whey precipitation.
• Application in noodle products: improving quality and increasing yield.
• The role of soy protein is to improve the properties of the product and increase its nutritional value.
