Wheat gluten revolutionizes food, chemical, and feed industries with low-cost protein.
Wheat gluten is a plant-based protein found in wheat, which is nutritious and affordable. It consists of four types of gluten: albumin, globulin, glutenin, and gliadin. Researchers have studied ways to separate wheat gluten using flour or wet wheat. The findings show that wheat gluten can be used in food, chemicals, and animal feed. Future research will focus on exploring more applications for wheat gluten.
