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% gluten is added as protein additive.
Vital wheat gluten is like a super-powered flour that is all gluten and very little starch. It’s not technically flour itself, but it’s made from wheat flour that has been hydrated to activate the gluten and then processed to remove everything but that gluten. It’s then dried and ground back into a powder.

Vital wheat gluten in bread production, according to the characteristics of the flour itself, add 2-3% vital wheat gluten, can significantly improve the dough water absorption, enhanced resistance to mixing of the dough, shortening dough fermentation time, so increased specific volume of bread products, including the heart uniformly fine texture and skin color, appearance, flexibility and taste are greatly improved. When proofing and to retain the gas, making it a good water retention, and preservation of aging, extend shelf life and increase the nutritional content of bread.
Bake bread with a lighter crumb and greater volume by adding vital wheat gluten! Especially helpful for bread made with whole grain flours, it's also the essential ingredient for seitan, a vegan meat substitute.
