Meat Glue/Transglutaminase
The Meat Glue 500g (Transglutaminase) is a versatile enzyme powder used by professional chefs and creative home cooks to bind proteins together seamlessly. Known scientifically as transglutaminase, this naturally occurring enzyme allows you to form perfectly shaped meat and fish portions without altering flavour.
Ideal for making terrines, roulades, galantines, or securing stuffing in poultry, this ingredient helps achieve clean slices, neat presentation, and consistent texture. It’s also an excellent way to repurpose meat trimmings into impressive new dishes, reducing waste and keeping costs down. Once bound, foods can be cooked using a wide variety of methods, including smoking, roasting, frying, or freezing.
Whether you’re creating a refined centrepiece such as Beef Wellington or experimenting with modern techniques in your kitchen, Meat Glue offers professional results with ease.
