What it is

Solubilized wheat gluten is a protein derived from wheat. It is produced by breaking down wheat gluten into smaller, more soluble components, often using enzymes or acids. This process makes the gluten easier to incorporate into food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add solubilized wheat gluten to improve texture and moisture retention in baked goods. It can also act as a binder and emulsifier. It is commonly found in cakes, cupcakes, snack cakes, bread mixes, and other baked items.

Health notes

Solubilized wheat gluten is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use. It is a source of protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat gluten, but specific evaluations of solubilized forms may vary. For individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wheat gluten is a trigger, and products containing it should be avoided.
