“…TGase is efficiently used to modify protein properties via the formation of the so-called ε-(γ-glutamyl) lysine bonds (Motoki & Seguro, 1998), which finally results in dramatic changes in protein size, stability, and conformation. TGase has been proved as a potential ingredient in yoghurt production for quality improvement (Gauche, Tomazi, Barreto, Ogliari, & Bordignon-Luiz, 2009). TGase treatment of milk proteins before yoghurt fermentation has other beneficial effects on yoghurt quality, such as increasing gel hardness (Faergemand & Qvist, 1997;Gauche et al, 2009), decreasing syneresis (Şanlı, Sezgin, Deveci, Şenel, & Benli, 2011), and enhancing viscosity (Ozer, Kirmaci, Oztekin, Hayaloglu, & Atamer, 2007) and elastic modulus (Anema, Lauber, Lee, Henle, & Klostermeyer, 2005).…”
