Introduction of Vital Wheat Gluten

Vital wheat gluten is a insoluble protein and has much advantages such as high protein content, high adhesive, high digesting rate, high water absorption.Can be used in many kinds of food industry, obtained by physical extraction from quality hard raw wheat. It is insoluble in water. This protein appears as a fine, slightly yellowish powder and has a typical wheat taste.

This handy little powder(vital wheat gluten) can help you create everything from wow-worthy baked goods to plant-based meat alternatives.

Although it’s not technically a flour, vital wheat gluten(VWG) is a flour-like powder that contains nearly all gluten and minimal starch. It’s made by hydrating wheat flour, which activates the gluten protein, and it’s then processed to remove everything but the gluten. It’s then dried out and ground back into a powder again.

Application in feed industry:

Vital wheat gluten can quickly absorb twice the weight of water at 30-80 ° C, and the protein egg content of dry vital wheat gluen powder decreases with the increase of water absorption, which can prevent water separation and improve water retention. When 3-4% vital wheat gluten powder is fully mixed with feed, it is easy to shape into granules due to its strong adhesion ability. After being put into water to absorb water, the beverage is enveloped in the structure of wet gluten network and suspended in water. The nutrition will not be lost and the utilization rate of fish can be greatly improved.
