A protein-enriched, gluten-free formulation based on rice flour
can be obtained with a suitable combination of egg albumin and
casein using transglutaminase as a processing aid for creating a
protein network. Protein-enriched composite blends are reinforced
with the addition of transglutaminase. Protein isolates significantly
(p < 0.05) modified both the gelatinisation and gelling behaviour of
the rice starch, reducing the peak viscosity and final viscosity.
Dough hardness and adhesiveness were significantly affected by
transglutaminase and casein addition.
