Description
Methods for processing plant-based and gluten-free ingredients involve precise thermal, mechanical, and biochemical interventions to mimic the functional properties of wheat gluten and animal proteins.
Technical
Protein denaturation and cross‑linking, starch gelatinization, emulsion stabilization, and anti‑nutrient reduction are achieved through controlled heating, pressure, and enzymatic treatments. These processes alter protein secondary structures, form percolating networks, and reduce antinutrients, thereby improving texture, stability, and nutritional bioavailability.
