The present work was carried out to study the effectiveness of substitution of wheat flour with different levels of chickpea flour, corn flour, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) for the production of gluten-free sausages. The prepared sausages were subjected to physicochemical, color, texture, thermal, and sensory analyses 24 h after production. Proximate chemical composition indicated that the protein content was raised by the addition of chickpea flour.

For this purpose, different types of white cheese incorporated with 20 and 60 ppm free enzyme (F20 and F60) and encapsulated enzyme (E20 and E60) were prepared and then compared with control (C) white cheese without TGase. The results showed that the addition of encapsulated TGase significantly (˂ .
