Transglutaminase
Transglutaminase (TG), better known to chefs as “Meat Glue,” which is widely distributed in nature, is an enzyme with the revolutionary ability to improve the physical properties of various protein containing foods.
TG from Yotabio is produced through fermentation process which is similar to making beer, wine and cheese, using conventional microorganisms.
Typically TG works within the protein of food materials, and contributes to improving texture properties.Because there is no technological function in the final products, TG is legally to be assessed as a processing aid, not as a food additive.
Benefits
Additional additives or a heating process to create bonds is not required
Does not affect flavour in final product application
Improves food texture, Increases water retention
Easy processing
Application
Bakery, Dairy, Meat, Fish & seafood
Types of TG
TG-M Serious
Contains TG and maltodextrin, it can be sprinkled or made into a slurry.
TG-RM Serious
Contains TG, maltodextrin, and sodium caseinate, it can be sprinkled, made into a slurry or added directly into meat mixtures.
Glutamine aminotransferase, TG for short. Microbial transglutaminase widely exists in animals, plants and microorganisms in nature. It is an acyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes the acyl transfer reaction between proteins (or within proteins), resulting in covalent cross-linking between proteins (or peptides). This cross-linking has a significant impact on the chemical Book properties, gelling capacity, thermal stability and water holding capacity of proteins, So as to improve the structural and functional properties of protein and endow food protein with unique texture and taste. Therefore, glutamine aminotransferase has been widely used in food processing industries such as meat products, aquatic products, bean products, flour products, rice products and dairy products.
