Effect of transglutaminase, Maillard reaction induced crosslinking and the combination of transglutaminase and Maillard reaction induced crosslinking between whey proteins and caseins in milk on calcium milk gel properties were investigated. Treatment of milk with transglutaminase, Maillard reaction, and transglutaminase + Maillard reaction cause to the appearance of new high MW protein bands. Water holding capacity, gel strength and sensory scores of gel samples increased and spontaneous whey separation decreased in calcium-induced milk gel made from transglutaminase and combination of transglutaminase and Maillard reaction treated milk compare with calcium-induced milk gel made from untreated milk alone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
