| Technological Function [Category (for enzyme preparations only)] | Food enzymes (including immobilized enzymes) |
| Description | Transglutaminase catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between lysine and glutamine residues in the food protein. This reaction leads to the build-up of a stable protein network with high binding strengths of the participating amino acid residues. This helps to bring about improvement in texture, mouth-feel and water retention of protein-rich foods |
| Functional Use |
protein glutamine + alkylamine = proteinN5-alkylglutamine + NH3 |
