Popis: Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) was used to introduce aromatic biogenic amine tyramine (TYR) into porcine skin gelatin (enzymatic amination) and the subsequent rheological properties of gelatin compared to non-treated controls were determined. The impact of MTGase-catalyzed amination conducted at 50 °C was monitored by evaluating gelation and melting temperatures ( T m ), storage ( G ′) and loss ( G ″) modules, as well as gelation rate ( K gel ) and gel strength ( G n ). Treating with MTGase alone without the addition of TYR increased ( p T m were not different ( p > 0.05) for the amination treatment group compared to the gelatin control. Overall, incorporating TYR into gelatins with MTGase weakened the gels; this was likely due to the interference of creation of covalent TYR-gelatin bonds that disturbed the normal formation of triple helix networks.
