Fish gelatin has been increasingly used as a safe alternative to cattle and pig gelatin due to its similar structure, avoiding the health and socio-cultural issues associated with the use of materials of mammalian origin. Fish gelatin can be produced from processed fish products to achieve a high yield at a low cost. Recent studies show that although fish gelatin comes from a wide range of sources, the protein content and amino acid composition of fish gelatin from different sources are different, and some fish gelatin is soft and unstable transglutaminase (TGase) can catalyze the γ-amide group of glutamine residues and the ε-amino group of lysine residues in proteins to form covalent bonds to form a stable protein network structure, improve the strength of the gel so that it can be applied in a more special environment. In this experiment, after screening the raw materials of cold-water fish gelatin M06 and M08, warm-water fish gelatin M03 and M04, a strong fish gelatin was successfully prepared by catalytic modification of cold-water fish gelatin by transglutaminase (TGase), and the excellent performance of TG enzyme-catalyzed modified gelatin was proved through the application effect of chicken salt soluble protein. In this experiment, the protein content of cold-water fish M08 was the highest, which was up to 99.9%, 1.09 times that of warm-water fish. The gelatin content of cold-water fish M08 was the highest of the four kinds of fish gelatin, with a wide proportion of components and rich amino acid composition. Cold-water fish M08 gelatin-derived gel had the highest strength of 253 ± 1 g/cm at 4 °C. It was found that fish gelatin with protein molecular weight distribution and rich amino acid composition had higher gel strength. M08 gelatin is cross-linked by transglutaminase (TGase), which increases the strength of enzyme gels by approximately 200% compared to self-assembled gels. Fish gelatin catalyzed by the TG enzyme improves the gel strength of raw material and makes it more applicable. M08 gelatin also showed good application performance at low temperatures in compound chicken salt-soluble protein gel, with a water retention rate of 95.84% and gel strength of 198.5 g/cm. This study expanded the application range of fish gelatin by TG enzyme and improved the application potential of fish gelatin. |
