Abstract
The invention is directed to a process for improving the quality of pale, soft and exudative meat by treating meat with transglutaminase enzyme. The invention is particularly well suited for manufactured pork and turkey breast products such as canned or packaged hams and turkey breasts. The manufactured meat products have reduced cooking purge, improved binding of the muscle pieces and firmer texture.
