Wheat Gluten

Product Description

Vital Wheat Gluten is a crucial protein derived from wheat through an extraction process that involves hydrating wheat flour to activate gluten, removing starch, and then drying and milling the gluten. It contains gliadins, responsible for viscosity, and glutenin, which provides elasticity and serves as an excellent plant-based protein source.

Vital Wheat Gluten is commonly used to enhance flour blends and cake mixes, especially in cakes with whole wheat or rye flour. It plays a vital role in vegetarian diets, processed meat products, and pasta production by improving texture and resistance to high temperatures. Additionally, Gluten increases nutritional value of soups and sauces; and is utilized in pet food, livestock, poultry, and aquatic animal feed to enhance visual appeal, digestibility, and taste.
