Transglutaminase improving doner kebab binding and structural integrity.
11/03/2025
Kebabs, particularly types like doner kebab, are often made from ground or chopped meat, which can be challenging to keep cohesive during cooking. Transglutaminase is used to address this by cross-linking meat proteins, improving binding and structural integrity.
Improved Binding: Enhances cohesion, reducing the likelihood of kebabs falling apart during handling or cooking.
Enhanced Texture: Results in firmer, more appealing kebabs, improving mouthfeel and structural integrity.
Better Water Retention: Increases yield by reducing cooking shrinkage, maintaining moisture content.
Versatility with Meat Quality: Enables use of lower quality or smaller meat pieces, potentially lowering costs.
No Adverse Sensory Impact: Sensory evaluations show no significant difference in taste or appearance, preserving quality.
