What is Gluten?

Video Clip… http://abcnews.go.com/Health/video/jimmy-kimmel-asks-what-is-gluten-23655461

Definition of Gluten Network of elastic protein strands that give bread dough its structure The PROTEIN in wheat flour is responsible for this elasticity

Denaturing of Proteins Denaturation: any change of the shape of a protein molecule without breaking peptide bonds Coagulation: permanent denaturation that results when a liquid or semiliquid protein forms solid or semisoft clots

Mechanical Actions Beating, rolling and kneading disrupt protein structures Vigorous or prolonged actions will cause proteins to lock into new positions with other molecules

Denaturing Proteins **Gluten changes its shape Bread dough kneaded= Proteins react with water and each other and realign to form viscoelastic (thick and stretchy) structure **Gluten changes its shape & strengthens during the kneading process**

Gluten Enables… Yeast breads to rise Breads to solidify during baking to form structure **This is why bread flours need a higher PROTEIN content than all-purpose flour or cake flour**
