Protein Glue (1kg), also known as Transglutaminase or "meat glue", is a professional bonding agent developed for chefs, fish processors and production kitchens that need to bond meat and fish cleanly without heat.

It allows chefs to create a strong, invisible seal for stuffed preparations, or for joining irregular cuts or different muscle groups of meat or fish, maximising profit and product yield. Typical uses include creative applications such as securing bacon to scallops, or forming minced chicken into nuggets or goujons.

It is particularly useful for building fish terrines and meat roulades which can be precisely sliced for clean presentation, as well as more technical applications such as fresh shellfish noodles.

Compared with starches, gelatine or gums, Protein Glue holds lean meat, fish and shellfish together without adding bulk, starchiness, gel texture or extra moisture.

It does not work with fat or carbohydrates, and clean contact between lean meat surfaces is essential.

For best results, use on clean, raw meat with good surface contact; avoid salt, pH extremes, and high alcohol content. For dry use, dust a thin layer of the powder evenly over the surface and then place the second piece on top. For slurry, mix with ice-cold water and paint onto the meat surfaces for a complete binding. Press pieces together firmly, wrap tightly, or vacuum seal them. Chill for 4-6 hours (or overnight) to allow full adhesion, before cooking as desired. Transglutaminase enzyme is disabled above 60°C.

Protein Glue can be stored at ambient temperature in an unopened bag. Once the seal is broken, we advise diving into smaller portions, vac sealing and freezing until required.
