In the absence of gluten some other system must be used to cause the bread to rise. One possibility is to use hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, which forms a film with the rice flour and water that traps the gases and acts as a substitute for gluten.

There have been a number of attempts to make capsules from materials other than gelatin. Initially, the attempts were aimed at overcoming the original patents filed by Mothe in the nineteenth century and used materials such as starch, gluten and animal membranes. However, the only material with the correct film-forming properties was gelatin.
