Custom Transglutaminase Powder

Description

Transglutaminase is a naturally occurring enzyme that catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between glutamine and lysine residues in proteins, effectively cross-linking protein molecules. It is primarily derived from microbial sources such as Streptomyces mobaraensis through fermentation and purification processes, appearing as a white to off-white fine powder with high solubility in water and a neutral pH profile. This unique enzymatic activity enables it to bind proteins together, improving texture, elasticity, and water-holding capacity in various protein-based products without altering flavor or nutritional value.

Competitive Advantage

Natural Protein Cross-Linking Ability: Transglutaminase offers a unique enzymatic mechanism to cross-link proteins, creating stronger, more stable structures without relying on chemical binders or additives. This natural binding process improves product texture, elasticity, and water retention more effectively than mechanical or chemical methods, making it a preferred choice for clean-label food formulations. Its ability to restructure proteins also reduces food waste by utilizing trimmings and (ground meat) in high-quality products.​

Versatility Across Protein Types: This enzyme exhibits broad specificity for various proteins, including animal proteins (meat, dairy, seafood) and plant proteins (soy, pea, wheat). It effectively cross-links both muscle proteins in meat and vegetable proteins in vegan products, making it suitable for diverse applications from traditional meat processing to plant-based alternatives. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple specialized binders, simplifying production processes for manufacturers.​

Temperature and pH Stability: Transglutaminase maintains activity across a moderate temperature range (30-50°C) and neutral pH levels (6.0-8.0), aligning with standard food processing conditions. It remains stable during pasteurization and refrigeration, ensuring consistent performance throughout production and storage. Unlike some enzymes that require strict temperature control, it offers flexibility in processing, reducing production complexity and energy costs.​

Clean Label Compatibility: As a naturally derived enzyme, Transglutaminase supports clean-label trends by enabling manufacturers to reduce or eliminate artificial binders, emulsifiers, and preservatives. It does not leave residual flavors or alter the nutritional profile of products, making it suitable for organic and natural food certifications. This compatibility appeals to consumers seeking transparent ingredient lists and minimally processed foods.​

Cost-Effective Production Enhancement: By improving texture, reducing waste, and extending shelf life, Transglutaminase provides significant cost benefits for food manufacturers. It allows the use of lower-grade proteins and trimmings in high-value products, increases yield by reducing water loss during cooking, and extends product shelf life by improving structural stability. These advantages make it a cost-effective solution for enhancing product quality while optimizing production efficiency.​
