(Exact dosage depends on protein base, fiber load, hydration, fat system, process temperature, and required set time.)
It is used for stronger binding and structure in difficult plant-based formulations, especially high-water, high-fiber, and mixed protein systems.
It is based on transglutaminase (TG) enzyme chemistry, which forms covalent crosslinks between proteins (glutamine–lysine bonding) to build a stronger protein network.
PLANTBIND PLUS is designed for more challenging systems—higher moisture, higher fiber, more inclusions, and greater variability—where extra structure and process tolerance are required.
Yes. By building a stronger protein network, it helps immobilize water and fat, improving cook-loss control and yield stability.
It can, especially in blends. Final performance depends on protein quality and formulation. Trials are recommended for optimization.
Overdosing can increase firmness. Trials help balance bite vs tenderness, especially in low-fat recipes.
Add during mixing/emulsification before forming, ensuring uniform distribution.
Usually yes. TG needs time and controlled temperature to form crosslinks. The optimal setting window depends on your process.
Often yes—it can improve structure stability after freeze–thaw, but results depend on formulation and water system. Trials are recommended.
Weak binding, crumble, cracking during cooking, high cook-loss variability, poor sliceability, and texture inconsistency across batches.
