Wheat gluten is a natural grain protein abstracted from wheat, with an appearance of light yellow powder. It is composed of various amino acids. It's characteristics include strong hydroscopicity, viscoelasticity, extensibility, film frmability, adhesion thermosetting property and liposuction emulsification.

Wheat Gluten Pellets, also known as gluten, active gluten and active wheat protein, is a natural protein extracted from wheat (flour). It is light yellow and composed of a variety of amino acids. The protein content is as high as 82.2%. It contains 15 kinds of amino acids necessary for human body. It is a rich plant protein resource with viscosity, elasticity, extensibility, film forming and fat absorption, It is the basic raw material of high-grade aquatic feed and is favored by aquaculture industry.
Wheat gluten pellet is a vital wheat gluten for the feed manufacturing, obtained by physical extraction from wheat and processed to cylindrical pellet by physical extrusion. It is insoluble in water. This protein appears as a fine, slightly yellowish pellet and has a typical wheat taste.
Application of Wheat Gluten Pellets
Wheat Gluten Pellet added to feed to increase protein content. If it is added to aquatic feed, because of its strong adhesion ability, it is easy to shape into granules. After the finished product is put into water, the feed is enveloped in the wet gluten network structure, and has the effect of suspending on the water surface. It is used for special feed. In aquaculture, the protein composed of various amino acids is used to feed mink, eel, shrimp and turtle, eel, etc.
Feed after adding vital wheat gluten pellets can not only improve the utilization rate in water, but also reduce the pollution to the water quality of aquaculture pond, enhance the glossiness of mink and improve the quality of mink. It can be used as the basic raw material of high-grade concentrate feed, such as prawn, five-star eel, seven star eel, crab and valuable fry. Its high protein composed of various amino acids can increase the nutritional value of feed, improve the utilization rate of feed in water with its viscoelasticity, and reduce the pollution of water source.
Feed industry:
The protein content of wheat gluten pellets is high and the amino acid composition is relatively complete. In the feed industry, its excellent protein source can be used as high-grade animal and pet feed. In the process of feed processing, as long as vital wheat gluten pellets and other food proteins are mixed in proportion, according to the characteristics of animal feed and its lack of essential ingredients, a variety of animal specific feed can be made.
High quality wheat gluten pellet has "light and mellow" or "particulate flavor". When mixed with other ingredients, it can be said that it has complete color, fragrance and flavor, especially suitable for all kinds of pet tastes, which greatly improves the utilization rate of feed.
When the wheat gluten pellets absorbs twice the weight of water at 30-80 ºC, the protein content of dry wheat gluten decreases with the increase of water absorption. This property can prevent water separation and improve water retention. When 3-4% wheat gluten pellets is mixed with feed, it is easy to shape into granules due to its strong adhesion ability.
After being put into water to absorb water, the beverage is enveloped in the structure of wet vital wheat gluten network and suspended in water, so the nutrition will not be lost and the utilization rate of fish can be greatly improved. absorbs twice the weight of water at 30-80 ºC, the protein content of dry vital wheat gluten decreases with the increase of water absorption. This property can prevent water separation and improve water retention.
Wheat gluten pellets for feed industry, for cows, pigs and poultry feeding, vital wheat gluten could be used as one of ingredients for feed production.
