Overview:
Vital Wheat Gluten is a natural protein derived from wheat, specifically designed to enhance the quality of bakery products. It is a light-colored, finely milled powder with high protein content (typically 75% or more) and excellent viscoelastic properties.

Applications in the Bakery Industry:
Vital Wheat Gluten is an essential ingredient in commercial baking. It improves dough strength, elasticity, and extensibility, leading to better gas retention during fermentation and superior volume, texture, and structure in the final baked product. It is especially useful in:

  • Bread (white, whole wheat, multigrain)

  • Buns and rolls

  • Pizza crust

  • Noodles and pasta

  • Tortillas and flatbreads

  • High-fiber or low-gluten flours (to enrich protein content)

Benefits for Manufacturers:

  • Enhances dough stability and handling

  • Increases loaf volume and improves crumb structure

  • Boosts water absorption and yield

  • Allows formulation flexibility for various recipes and flour types

  • Helps meet high-protein labeling requirements

Packaging:
Available in 25 kg kraft paper bags with inner PE liner or as per customer requirements.

Shelf Life & Storage:
12 months when stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and strong odors.
