  • Processes for the modification of wheat gluten
    Patent number: 6113975
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for reducing the fat content of wheat gluten or wheat protein isolates. In one embodiment, the gluten or W.P.I. is treated with a monohydric alcohol for a temperature and a time sufficient to remove lipids. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the gluten or W.P.I. is treated with acidified alcohols. The resulting fat-reduced gluten or W.P.I. exhibits superior functional and sensory properties.
