It is the water-insoluble complex protein obtained by water extraction of wheat or wheat flour. It is soluble in alkalies, and partly soluble in alcohol and dilute acids. Vital Wheat Gluten is characterized by high viscoelasticity when hydrated, while Devitalized Wheat Gluten has lost this character because of denaturation by heat.

Vital Wheat Gluten will form a cohesive, Wheat Protein Isolate Wheat Protein Isolate occurs as a powder. It is produced by acidic deamidation of gluten that converts glutamine and asparagine to their nonamidated derivatives, glutamic acid and aspartic acid, followed by several purification measures. Alternatively, gluten can be solubilized in an acidic or alkaline medium, and the dissolved protein is then separated and purified by filtration or centrifugation.
