Mirobial transglutaminase for protein and meat processing

  FOOD GRADE TRANSGLUTAMINASE (TG)

 
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The transglutaminase (TGase) is produced by submerged fermentation of Streptomyces mobaraensis followed by purification and formulation. It catalyzes inter- and intra- molecular cross-linking of proteins. In the food industry, TGase is applied in many segments where improvement in product texture or protein functionality is necessary. The successful applications include meat re-constructure, quality improvement for surimi, bacon, sausage, meat ball and yoghurt products.

MECHANISM

Transglutaminase (TG) is an enzyme which can catalyze the reaction of transamination. It catalyzes the L-Lysine’s γ-aroylamino-hydroxybutyrate binding to the glutamic acid. So, the covalent crosslinking among the proteins or peptides happens and the polymer of covalent compounds is formed, which results in the improvement in functionality of protein and sensory properties of related products.

BENEFITS

1. Emulsion-based meat processing products. (e.g. Sausage, Ham, Hotdog, Salami, etc.)
lIncreases gel strength;
lFacilitates water retention and juiciness;
lImproves elasticity and texture of products;
lIncreases sliceability to decrease waste in chopping.

 2. Restructured meat products

lIncrease slicing effectiveness;
lEnd product with freewheeling shapes;
lOnce restructured, the product can be cooked or frozen without losing shape;
lCreate strong bonds between proteins.

3. Dairy products

lCapture more proteins from whey to Increase the yield of cheese products about 10%;
lIncrease slice-ability and improve cheese firmness;
lIncrease gel strength and viscosity optimize thickening in yoghourt products;
lReduce syneresis with a smoother surface.

4. Surimi-based products. (e.g. Fish ball, Fish cake etc.)

lIncrease gel strength;
lImprove elasticity and firmness of fish ball;
lImprove the physical properties of fish ball;
lFacilitate the incorporation of mechanically deboned fish (MDF) into standardized portions with high added value.

 The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the smallest quantity. The covalent bond formed by TGase is hard to split by non-enzymic means. Once the treated minced meat is shaped, the shape is set and resistant to freezing or slicing or cooking.

SAFETY AND HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Enzyme preparations are proteins, which may induce sensitization and cause allergic type reactions in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes or nasal mucosa, so any direct contiguity with human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, consult a doctor.

WARNINGS

Kept sealed after use every time to avoid inactivation until its finish.

PACKAGE AND STORAGE

ØPackage 25kg/drum.
ØStorage Keep sealed in a dry and cool place with good ventilation and avoid direct sunlight. Slight sedimentation is acceptable since it will not impact performance of the product.
ØShelf life: 12 months in a dry and cool place.
