Summary:Irreversible casein crosslinking induced by incubation of skim milk with microbial transglutaminase or by storage of UHT skim milk, respectively, led to increasing breaking strength of yoghurts prepared from such pretreated milks. For yoghurts prepared from transglutaminase treated skim milk intermolecular formation of the isopeptide Ne**epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)-L-lysine exclusively explain the observed casein oligomerization which was measured by GPC. For caseinates isolated from stored UHT milk, however, the known crosslink amino acids lysinoalanine and histidinoalanine were only in part responsible for the measurable casein oligomerization. Significant amounts of currently unknown crosslinked amino acids must have been formed during storage which significantly influence the functional protein properties.
