Glutenin (a type of glutelin) is a major protein within wheat flour, making up 47% of the total protein content.The glutenins are protein aggregates of high-molecular-mass (HMW) and low-molecular-mass (LMW) subunits with molar masses from about 200,000 to a few million, which are stabilized by intermolecular disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions and other forces.
Gliadin (a type of prolamin) is a class of proteins present in wheat and several other cereals within the grass genus Triticum. Gliadins, which are a component of gluten, are essential for giving bread the ability to rise properly during baking. Gliadins and glutenins are the two main components of the gluten fraction of the wheat seed.
Vegan chicken nuggets – made from pea protein, soy protein, textured vegetable protein, and wheat gluten Tofurkey – faux turkey, a meat substitute in the form of a loaf or casserole of vegetarian protein, usually made from tofu (soybean protein) or seitan (wheat protein) with a stuffing made from grains or bread, flavored with a broth and ...
What distinguishes bread wheat from these other grass seeds is the quantity of these proteins and the level of subcomponents, with bread wheat having the highest protein content and a complex mixture of proteins derived from three grass species (Aegilops speltoides, Aegilops tauschii strangulata, and Triticum monococcum).

[40] [44] [45] [46] Some suggested explanations for this increase include the following: the growing westernization of diets, [44] the increasing use of wheat-based foods included in the Mediterranean diet, [47] [48] the progressive replacement of rice by wheat in many countries in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, [44] the higher ...
Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) is a lectin that protects wheat from insects, yeast and bacteria. An agglutinin protein, it binds to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and sialic acid . [ 1 ] WGA has also been shown to interact with sialic acid residues on oligosaccharides. [ 2 ]
Glutenin is the most common glutelin, as it is found in wheat and is responsible for some of the refined baking properties in bread wheat. The glutelins of barley and rye [1] have also been identified. Glutelins are the primary protein form of energy storage in the endosperm of rice grains. [2]
