DOUGH RHEOLOGY MODIFIERS FOR GLUTEN-FREE PRODUCTS
Background
Celiac disease (gluten allergy) affects approximately 1% of the world population. As such, the market of gluten-free products is booming in EU and USA with sales projected to be at least $5 billion by 2020 (8% CAGR). According to FDA, these products must not contain wheat, barley and rye or must have less than 20 ppm gluten content. Without gluten, the development of these products can be very challenging as their structure and texture quality are often compromised. As a result, some texture/rheology modifiers from either hydrocolloids, proteins, enzymes or a combination of these ingredients are required not only to fulfill the requirement of formulation and processing but also to improve the overall quality of these products.
