Gelation of commercial pea protein isolate: effect of microbial transglutaminase and thermal processing

Abstract In the studied commercial pea protein isolate (PPI) some physicochemical modifications are induced in the protein structure during its processing. That fact would result into a reduction of proteins techno-functional properties. It has been evidenced by Differential Scanning Calorimetry the protein denaturation what gives as a result poor gelling ability. Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) was added at different concentrations to improve the gelation process at two different settings/thermal treatments to make suitable texture PPI gels as a base for various meat and/or seafood analog...
