Abstract: Cross-linking of proteins by transglutaminase can modify their structure and functional properties, therefore, transglutaminase have good application in food industry. The role mechanism and effects of transglutaminase on functional properties of milk proteins were introduced. In this paper, the application of transglutaminase in yoghurt was also presented.

Key words: transglutaminase, milk protein, cross-linking
