Abstract
Different possibilities for protein crosslinking are
examined in this review, with special emphasis on
enzymatic crosslinking and its impact on food structure.
Among potential enzymes for protein crosslinking are
transglutaminase (TG) and various oxidative enzymes.
Crosslinking enzymes can be applied in cereal, dairy,
meat, and fish processing to improve the texture of the
product. Most of the current commercial applications are
based on TG. The reaction mechanisms of the crosslinking
enzymes differ, which in turn results in different
technological properties.
