Transglutaminase for Plant Protein & Technical Details
Question
Can the specific Transglutaminase product (Transglutaminase (Meat Bonding, 100U/g)) be used with plant-based proteins? Please provide details on its source (plant, animal, or microbial) and whether it requires Ca2+ for activity, including the required amount if applicable.
Answer
Based on the information available for the Transglutaminase product we have (Transglutaminase (Meat Bonding, 100U/g)), here is the answer to your questions:
Regarding whether this specific Transglutaminase can be used with plant-based proteins, the product description states it is "used for coordinating meat such as in the production of sausages". This indicates its primary application is with animal protein. The description does not explicitly mention its use with plant proteins.
The product description also does not specify the source of this Transglutaminase (plant, animal, or microbial) or whether it requires Ca2+ for activity, nor the required amount if it does.
While Transglutaminases in general can be derived from various sources and have different requirements, the detailed information for this particular product regarding its source, Ca2+ requirement, and suitability for plant proteins is not available in the product description. For these specific details, it would be best to consult the technical data sheet or the supplier directly.
