What Is Vital Wheat Gluten?
Vital wheat gluten is the concentrated gluten protein fraction of wheat, supplied as a fine creamy powder with a bland aroma and flavor. It is used in suitable formulations where the functional contribution of wheat gluten is needed, including bakery products and wheat-based meat alternatives.
The published specification identifies protein, water absorption, particle size, moisture and ash. These parameters help manufacturers compare gluten materials for their production requirements. Wheat origin also distinguishes this material from pea, rice and hemp protein ingredients when planning product recipes.
