Transglutaminase enzyme is known to improve the textural and several other quality properties of food. In this study, patties were
produced from chicken breast and dividend into three groups.The first group was not treated by transglutaminase and called as control
samples. The second and third group patty samples were treated by 0.5% and 1% transglutaminase, respestively. Physical, chemical
and sensory properties ofthe control and transglutaminase treated patty samples were studied.The transgiutaminase treatment did
not significantly affect the ash, lipid, protein content, colour properties (L, a, b values) and sensory properties of chicken breast patties
compared to the control samples (P>0.05). However, dry matter content ofthe 1% enzyme treated samples was significantly (P<0.05)
higher than the control and 0.5% transglutaminase treated samples. On the other hand, the pH of enzyme treated patties was found
to be lower than the control samples. In addition, the transglutaminase treatments were significantly (P<0.05) effective in reducing the
cooking loss and significantly improved the textural properties ofthe chicken breast patties
