Transglutaminase Enzyme Application in Hot-Rolled Sausage Binding

    Transglutaminase is a core texture-improving enzyme for meat products, widely used in the production of ham sausages and roasted sausages. It catalyzes the intermolecular covalent crosslinking of myofibrillar proteins, constructing a dense and stable protein network structure. This effectively enhances the elasticity, crispness, and chewiness of the product, improves the slicing performance of the sausage, reduces water and oil leakage during steaming and baking processes, lowers steaming losses, and increases yield.

1. Enzyme preparations are bioactive substances that are susceptible to the inhibitory and destructive effects of heavy metal ions (Fe3+, Cu2+, Hg+, Pb+, etc.) and oxidants. Contact with them should be avoided during use and storage;

2. For people who are easily sensitive, it may cause hypersensitivity reactions; Close contact or slight inhalation may irritate the skin, eyes, and mucosal tissues; During the use of enzyme products, it is recommended to wear protective equipment such as masks and eye masks.

3. Moisture proof, light proof, sealed and stored at low temperature (0-10 ° C) for 18 months. Enzymes experience a certain loss of enzyme activity during storage, with 5-10% loss of enzyme activity at 10 ° C for 6 months and 10-15% loss of enzyme activity at room temperature for 6 months.

4. Extending the storage period or being affected by harsh storage conditions such as high temperature and humidity can lead to an increase in usage.
