Gluten solubility

Nitrogen sources include proteins, such as casein, zein, lactalbumin protein hydrolyzates such proteoses, peptones, peptides, and commercially available materials, such as N-Z Amine which is understood to be a casein hydrolyzate also corn steep liquor, soybean meal, gluten, cottonseed meal, fish meal, meat extracts, stick liquor, liver cake, yeast extracts and distillers solubles amino acids, urea, ammonium and nitrate salts. Such inorganic elements as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium and chlorides, sulfates, phosphates and combinations of these anions and cations in the form of mineral salts may be advantageously used in the fermentation.

Nutrient analysis of stabilized rice bran and its derivatives indicates that it is a good source of protein, dietary fiber and carbohydrates, in addition to several valuable phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals (Table 17.1). SRB and its water-soluble and water-insoluble derivatives contain all the nutrients at different levels. They are gluten and lactose free and do not give rise to any food allergy. 

The carbohydrates in rice bran are made up of the cell wall components such as polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, hemicelluloses, starch and some sugars. The health benefits of rice bran polysaccharides and hemicelluloses are discussed under phytochemicals of rice bran below. It is lactose-free and gluten-free. The water-soluble non-starchy polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and hemicelluloses are concentrated in the water-soluble fraction of rice... 

Proteins have been studied for a long time. Beccari published an account of his experiments to isolate gluten in 1747 In 1805 Einhof discovered that a fraction of wheat gluten was soluble, while in 1858 Denis showed that many proteins of both plant and animal origin were soluble in saline solutions. In 1859 Ritthausen started to prepare highly purified proteins, only to be criticised by Weyl for using alkali to extract the proteins. Weyl in his work used the Denis method of extraction with neutral salts. 

Dried Gluten. This material is sold as vital wheat gluten, it is produced by a scaled up version of the process for producing wet gluten for flour testing. A flour and water dough is made and then washed to remove the starch, the soluble proteins and the pentosan-based gum fraction. This latter fraction is an example of a non-starch carbohydrate. 

Rye Proteins. While rye is the only European cereal able to completely replace wheat in bread, rye protein is not as effective as wheat protein. One reason for this is that as much as 80% of the protein in a rye sour dough is soluble compared with 10% of soluble protein in a wheat dough. One factor that inhibits the formation of a gluten-like complex is the 4-7% of pentosans present, which bind water and raise the viscosity of the dough. The crumb structure is then formed from the pentosans in combination with the starch. 

Electrostatic charges due to ionized acidic or basic amino acids influence protein solubility. At extremes of pH, many poorly soluble proteins are dissolved and their molecular structures unfolded due to surplus of similar repelling charges. Gluten proteins have few charged groups and so are poorly soluble in neutral solution (15). Dispersions of other proteins must be adjusted to their isoelectric point or have salt added to optimize cohesion and adhesion. 

As shown in Figure 6, proteins of the gluten complex can be separated by solubility differences into saline-soluble albumins and globulins, 70% ethanol-soluble glladlns, acetic acid-soluble glutenln, and an insoluble protein residue. 

The white dextrins are the least soluble in cold water, the insoluble part consisting of soluble starch and of more or less marked proportions of organic (cellulose, gluten, etc.) or mineral impurities (sand). 

As a rule, dextrins are almost completely soluble in hot water, the insoluble matter being composed of a few organic impurities (cellulose, gluten) together with a little sand. Sometimes, however, they contain untransformed starch, which is due to faulty manufacture or is added intentionally and is found in the residue insoluble in hot water. 

A good dextrin should be of uniform colour without black spots and should have the characteristic odour and no smell of mould. It should be wholly soluble in water, should not give an appreciable reduction of Fehling s solution in a short time, and should not contain gluten or free chlorine in appreciable quantity. 

Oats are used in breakfast cereals and baked goods. Oat bran is high in soluble fiber, which can help lower blood cholesterol levels, thus possibly reducing the risk of heart attacks. It also helps the body utilize insulin more efficiently, an important asset in controlling diabetes. Products made with oats contain little or no gluten and can usually be tolerated by people with celiac disease.

The resultant culture was inoculated to a medium containing soluble starch (5%), peanut powder (0.5%), dried yeast (0.5%), gluten meal (0.5%), calcium carbonate (0.1%) and Adekanol (deforming agent. Trade Mark, maker Asasi Denka Co.) (0.1%) (150 liters) in a 200-liter jar-fermentor, which had been sterilized at 120°C for 20 min in advance, and cultured at 30C for 4 days under aeration of 150 liters/minutes and agitation of 250 rpm.
