Glutamine transaminase (TG) is an enzyme that catalyzes acyl transfer reactions. It induces cross-linking reactions between and within protein molecules, increasing protein molecular weight and forming robust gels. This alters the elasticity, water-holding capacity, and binding properties of various protein products while enhancing nutritional value by introducing lysine. When used in meat processing, it improves the physical properties and binding strength of various foods, enables comprehensive utilization of ground meat, and enhances product value.
Transglutaminase complies with the specifications set by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) of the United States. It meets the food-grade enzyme requirements of the corporate standard Q/NPB 15—2006, and customized special TG enzymes are available to meet clients’ specific demands.
