GLUTEN

Gluten is sometimes misunderstood to be a single compound instead it is a collective which can be found in various types of protein found in wheat, rye and barley. The protein found in wheat is called prolamins.

There is one more kind of a protein which is a crossover between wheat and rye. This is called a triticale. Prolamins, which are found in wheat, include gliadin and glutenin.

Gliadin and glutenin are highly elastic and rise when heated. This is why gluten containing grains are used as a main ingredient for the making of baked products such as bread, cake bases.

Gluten can be also bought in the powdered form which is called wheat gluten. This wheat gluten is used to make the cake fluffy and increase the strength and shelf life of the baked products.Gluten tends to break down the proteins by becoming resistant to protease enzymes. This incomplete digestion allows the body to react with the wall of the small intestine and cause damage.This damage is then called celiac disease because of the reaction of immune response.
