Description

Gluten CAS NO 8002-80-0 is a natural composite of storage proteins, primarily gliadin and glutenin, derived from wheat and related grains. This versatile protein complex is valued for its unique viscoelastic properties, which are essential for providing structure, texture, and gas retention in various food matrices. It is a critical functional ingredient for the food industry, particularly in baking, and serves as a valuable raw material in non-food industrial applications.

Application

• Bakery & Flour Enhancement: Used as a vital wheat gluten to strengthen dough, improve loaf volume, texture, and shelf-life in bread, pastries, and other baked goods.
• Meat & Seafood Analogs: Acts as a binding and texturizing agent in vegetarian and vegan products, providing a meat-like chewiness and structure.
• Pet Food & Aquafeed: Serves as a high-protein nutritional component and binder in dry and wet pet foods, as well as in aquatic feed formulations.
• Industrial Adhesives: Utilized in the formulation of biodegradable adhesives, paper coatings, and other specialty chemical applications.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into hair care and skincare products for its film-forming and conditioning properties.
