Abstract

Glutaminase was mainly related to the formation of the taste of fermented meats.The acidity was reduced and the taste was improved in fermented meat products after adding glutaminase.Utilizing glutaminase-producing Staphylococcus saprophyticus RG-2 strain isolated from Rugao ham,we studied the influence of pH,temperature,and NaCl on activity of glutaminase from the strain RG-2 by the method of single factor experiments and response surface.The results showed that optimal catalytic condition was pH6.7,43℃ and 3.1% of NaCl.The activity of the glutaminase from strains RG-2 could be 40.2 U/ml in the catalytic conditions mentioned above.
