BINDRITE 5500 is a specialized crosslinking enzyme solution formulated for improving texture, firmness, and binding properties in processed meat products such as sausages, hams, and patties. It is based on Transglutaminase (TG), which catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between glutamine and lysine residues in muscle proteins. This natural crosslinking creates a stable protein network, enhancing the structural integrity and water-holding capacity of meat products. BINDRITE 5500 enables processors to reduce reliance on chemical binders and phosphates while achieving superior bite, shape retention, and product yield.
