82% Protein Vital Wheat Gluten for Seitan and Vegan Meat Substitutes

Introduction of Vital Wheat Gluten

Vital wheat gluten is a natural protein derived from wheat. It is produced by hydrating wheat flour to activate the gluten (a combination of glutenin and gliadin proteins) and then processing it to remove the starch, leaving behind a concentrated protein product. Vital wheat gluten is commonly used in baking and cooking to improve the texture, elasticity, and structure of dough, particularly in bread-making. It is also a key ingredient in vegetarian and vegan meat substitutes, such as seitan, due to its high protein content and meat-like texture when cooked.

Main Uses of Vital Wheat Gluten

Vital wheat gluten(VWG) is the main ingredient in seitan (SAY-tan, also known as “wheat meat”), which is a much loved meat substitute and has first appeared during the 6th century as an ingredient in Asian cuisine. To prepare seitan at home, you generally mix the vital wheat gluten in its powdered form with spices and water to form a dough.

When the gluten dough is steamed, baked, boiled or otherwise cooked, it becomes chewy with a very meat-like texture – which is what makes seitan (and vital wheat gluten) such a popular food choice in the vegan community.

Application in feed industry:

wheat protein powder can quickly absorb twice the weight of water at 30-80 ° C, and the protein egg content of dry wheat protein powder decreases with the increase of water absorption, which can prevent water separation and improve water retention. When 3-4% wheat protein 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.
