New enzyme process creates high-protein wheat gluten with improved properties.
The researchers studied how to make soluble wheat gluten using enzymes. They milled wet wheat gluten and treated it with alkali proteinase for 10 minutes at 55℃. The protein content of the final product was 75.1%, with a hydrolysis degree of 2.0%. The nitrogen soluble index was 95.5%, emulsification capacity was 1.7, and emulsification stability was 84.6%.
