High Proteio Vital Wheat Gluten Is A Vegan Meat Alternative Can Make Seitan, Wheat Meat, Breakfast Sausage
Introduction of Vital Wheat Gluten Vital wheat gluten(VWG), also known as active gluten and wheat gluten protein, is a natural protein extracted from wheat (flour). It is light yellow, and the protein content is as high as 82.2%. It is a plant protein resource with rich nutrition. It is a good dough improver with viscosity, elasticity, extensibility, film-forming and fat absorption. It is widely used in the production of bread, noodles and instant noodles. It can also be used as water retaining agent in meat products. It is also the basic raw material of high-grade aquatic feed. In the production of various health food for infants and young children, 1-2% wheat gluten protein is added as protein additive. Vital wheat gluten. This powdery substance is protein packed, vegan-friendly, and ready to transform how you bake. Main Uses of Vital Wheat Gluten The main use of vital wheat gluten is to adjust the content of flour protein. Many bread manufacturers add vital wheat gluten to low gluten flour to meet the requirements of bread flour without mixing expensive high gluten flour. This method has been widely used in Europe. Similarly, bread makers are using wheat gluten protein to fortify general grade flour without having to store large quantities of high gluten flour. The other main use for vital wheat gluten is seitan, also known as "wheat meat," which is a vegan meat alternative. Seitan is often made by mixing vital wheat gluten with spices and seasonings, then adding a liquid. Once a stiff dough forms, it's either steamed, baked, or boiled to create a chewy and savory texture similar to meat. Seitan can be used to emulate chicken, breakfast sausage, pepperoni, and more. This method of preparing gluten was first recorded in 6th century China, and it's still popular amongst the vegetarian Buddhist population in Asian countries to this day.

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.
