Transglutaminase (TGase) was cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, and cross-linked crystalline transglutaminase was immobilized on a polypropylene microporous membrane by UV-induced grafting. Immobilized enzyme activity were calculated to be 0.128 U/cm2 polypropylene microporous membrane. The microstructure and enzyme characteristics of free, cross-linked and immobilized transglutaminase were compared. The optimum temperature of free transglutaminase was determined to be approximately 40 °C, while cross-linking and immobilization resulted in an increase to approximately 45 °C and 50 °C. At 60 °C, immobilized, cross-linked and free transglutaminase retained 91.7 ± 1.20%, 63.2 ± 1.05% and 37.9 ± 0.98% maximum activity, respectively. The optimum pH was unaffected by the state of transglutaminase. However, the thermal and pH stabilities of cross-linked and immobilized transglutaminase were shown to increase.
