The application of vital wheat gluten
1. In the production of special bread flour, according to the characteristics of the flour itself, such as adding 2-3% gluten powder, it can significantly increase the water absorption of the dough, enhance the resistance to the mixing of the dough, shorten the fermentation time of the dough, and make the finished bread The specific volume of the bread is increased, the texture of the bread crumb is fine and uniform, and the skin color, appearance, elasticity, and taste are greatly improved. It can retain the gas during proofing to make it better in water retention, keep it fresh without aging, prolong the storage time, and increase the nutritional content of bread.
2. In the process of making fish sausage, adding 3-6% gluten powder can change the defects of product quality degradation caused by high temperature treatment.
3. It is used in meat products. When producing sausage products, adding 2-3% gluten powder can enhance the elasticity, toughness, and water holding capacity of the product so that it will not break when cooked for a long time. When gluten is used in meat-rich sausage products with more fat content, the emulsifying effect is more obvious. Application in aquatic product processing: Add 2-4% gluten powder to fish cakes and use its strong water absorption and ductility to strengthen the elasticity and cohesiveness of fish cakes.
4. Adding 1-2% gluten powder in the production of instant noodles or longevity noodles, noodles, and dumpling special powder can significantly improve the processing properties of products, such as compression resistance, bending resistance, and tensile strength, and increase the toughness of noodles. It is not easy to break the head during processing, and it is resistant to soaking and heat. The taste is smooth and tender, not sticky to the teeth, and more nutritious. In the production of steamed bread, adding 1% gluten powder can enhance the quality of gluten, significantly increase the water absorption of the dough, enhance the water-holding characteristics of the product, improve the taste, stabilize the appearance, and prolong the shelf life. the
5. Application in health products and baby products: In the production of various health food and baby food, 1-2% gluten powder is added as a protein additive, and the amino acid content of the food reaches more than 85%, which can fully guarantee the nutritional content. At the same time, it can increase the content of calcium, phosphorus, and iron, especially since the content of calcium will be far greater than that of eggs, beef, and other foods, which is more conducive to the healthy development of infants and adolescents.
6. Application in the feed processing industry: Wheat gluten can quickly absorb two times the weight of water at 30--80& ordmC, and the protein content of dry base gluten absorbs water decreases with the increase of water absorption. This performance can prevent the separation of water and improve water retention. After 3-4% gluten powder is fully mixed with the feed, due to its strong adhesion ability, it is easy to shape into granules, and the feed that is put into the water after absorbing water is enveloped in the wet gluten network structure and suspended on the water. It is not easy to lose, and can greatly improve the utilization rate of fish and so on.
