Physicochemical properties of three food proteins treated with transglutaminase
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three sources of food proteins were treated with microbial transglutaminase (EC 2.3.2.13) in order to assess changes in the physicochemical properties of reactivity, solubility, emulsification, and free amino groups of the formed polymers. Samples of lactic casein (LC), isolated soy protein (ISP), and hydrolysed animal protein (HAP), were incubated with the enzyme for one or two hours. LC and ISP showed a reduced solubility of 15% and 24% respectively, with HAP showing no alteration on solubility. Amino nitrogen content was 7%, 3% and 2% reduced for HAP, LC and ISP respectively. LC and ISP demonstrated lower emulsifying activity when they were enzymatically treated but the formed emulsions were stable, contrasting with HAP, which exhibited no changes in emulsifying properties.

Food proteins have long been recognized for their nutritional and functional properties. The nutritional properties of proteins are associated with their amino acid content. On the other hand, the functional properties of proteins relate to their contribution to the physiochemical and sensory properties of foods (Sila and Bougatef, 2016). Marine organisms contain proteins with high quantities o...

In this study, effect of transglutaminase (TGase) addition on physical, water barrier, optical and mechanical properties of mechanically deboned chicken meat protein (MDCM-P) films was investigated. When TGase was added to the films, the thickness increased, but the solubility decreased. Films treated with TGase exhibited higher water vapor permeability than control film (p<0.05). When TGase co...
