*from latin ‘glue‘*
.
-a ‘protein composite’ found in ‘wheat’ + related ‘grains’, including ‘barley’ + ‘rye’-
.
(‘gluten’ gives ‘elasticity’ to ‘dough’, helping it ‘rise’ + ‘keep its shape’ and often gives the ‘final product’ a ‘chewy texture’)
(‘gluten’ is used in ‘cosmetics’, ‘hair products’, and other ‘dermatological preparations’)
(‘gluten’ is the composite of the storage proteins gliadin and a glutenin, and is conjoined with ‘starch’ in the ‘endosperm’ of various ‘grass-related grains’)
(the ‘prolamin’ and ‘glutelin’ from ‘wheat’ (‘gliadin’ (which is ‘alcohol-soluble’) and (‘glutenin’ (which is only ‘soluble’ in ‘dilute acids’ or ‘alkalis’)) constitute about 80% of the ‘protein’ contained in ‘wheat fruit’)
(being ‘insoluble’ in ‘water’, they can be purified by washing away the associated ‘starch’)
(worldwide, ‘gluten’ is a source of ‘protein’, both in ‘foods’ prepared directly from sources containing it, and as an ‘additive’ to ‘foods’ otherwise low in ‘protein’)
(the ‘fruit’ of most ‘flowering plants’ have ‘endosperms’ with ‘stored protein’ to nourish ’embryonic plants’ during ‘germination’)
(‘true gluten’ (with ‘gliadin’ and ‘glutenin’) is limited to certain members of the ‘grass’ family)
.
(the ‘stored proteins’ of ‘maize’ + ‘rice’ are sometimes called ‘glutens’, but their ‘proteins’ differ from “true gluten”)
