Transglutaminase is an enzyme that works as a catalyst in the formation of isopeptide bonds between proteins. It is used in the food industry to improve the texture, water-binding capacity, and viscosity of numerous food products like dairy, cheese, meat, fish, bakery items, and edible films. Transglutaminase property of binding protein together and retaining structure is utilized in processed fish and meat products, ham, and surimi.
Transglutaminase has been used in molecular gastronomy to create unique food textures and flavors. It has potential applications in the textile and leather industries and pharmaceutical applications, such as PEGylation and antibody-drug conjugates. The discovery of an inexpensive microbial source for transglutaminase production has facilitated the widespread and practical application of this enzyme. Ongoing research is focused on identifying new uses and optimizing production to make Transglutaminase more accessible.
The significant driver in the Transglutaminase market is its widespread and practical application across many industries. Its use in food products, such as dairy, cheese, meat, fish, and bakery items, has helped improve the texture, water-binding capacity, and viscosity of these products, leading to enhanced quality and consumer satisfaction. Transglutaminase provides the unique textures and flavors that have been used in molecular gastronomy, increasing its demand further in the food industry.
Its potential use in the textile, leather, and pharmaceutical sectors could possibly expand its applications and market demand. Hence, the development in its demand in various food industries and its potential in textile, leather, and pharmaceutical sectors, along with its production prices, market prices, and logistics, directly influence industrial Transglutaminase procurement in the market globally.
Raw Material for Transglutaminase Production
According to the Transglutaminase production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Transglutaminase include Streptomyces mobaraensis bacteria, fermentation media, and ammonium sulphate.
Production Process of Transglutaminase
The detailed Transglutaminase production cost report consists of the following major industrial production processes:
- From Streptomyces mobaraensis bacteria, fermentation medium, and ammonium sulphate: The industrial production of Transglutaminase involves several steps. At first, the bacterium Streptomyces mobaraensis, which secretes Transglutaminase, is transferred to the fermentation medium. The fermentation conditions are carefully optimized by maintaining various factors like pH and oxygen levels inside the fermentation tanks to ensure maximum yield. The enzyme produced is precipitated using ammonium sulfate, dialyzed to remove impurities, and purified using ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Finally, the purified Transglutaminase is freeze-dried to obtain it in a powder form.
Transglutaminase is a white or cream powder with a pH in the range of 5 to 8. It is heat-stable and can withstand high temperatures without losing its activity. It works by catalyzing the formation of strong covalent bonds between the amino acid glutamine and lysine. This crosslinking of proteins can significantly modify their functional properties like viscosity, elasticity, solubility, foaming, and water-holding capacity. It's ability to bind different types of proteins together, improve the texture of baked goods, and enhance the thickness and creaminess of dairy products makes it a versatile enzyme.
