New method detects gluten quality in bread wheat varieties with ease.
A new method using gluten-lactate solution can assess the quality of gluten in bread wheat varieties. The method is based on the idea that the insolubility of gluten in lactate solution is linked to gluten quality. By measuring transmittancy in the solution, we can determine the extent of this insolubility. The study found that this method is simple and effective for evaluating gluten quality in different wheat varieties.
