wheat gluten is a natural grain protein abstracted from wheat, with an appearance of light yellow powder. It is composed of various amino acids, in which 15 kinds are necessary for human body. It's characteristics include strong hydroscopicity,viscoelasticity, extensibility, film formability,adhension thermosetting property and liposuction emulsification.
Wheat gluten is a fine paste modifying agent,which could oboviously improve the hydroscopicity of the paste and enhance the resistance to stir. It is widely used in the production of bread, noodles and instant noodles in order to enhance their tenacity. It is also a flour gluten fortifier which is used in the production of high gluten flour and bread flour. Besides, it can strengthen the products'elasticity, tenacity and water holding capacity when it is used in meat products.Meanwhile, it is the basic material of upscale aquatic feed.
