Arla Foods Launches First Functional Milk Protein Solution for Gluten-Free Bread

The gluten-free project builds on the initial findings of a food science student, who conducted study-related research in the Arla Foods Ingredients bakery lab.

Oct 19 2010 --- Trials are underway to replace gluten in bread with a combination of functional milk proteins from Arla Foods Ingredients – so far with highly promising results.

Through simulating the protein structure and functionality of wheat gluten, the aim is to create solutions for gluten-free bakes of a much higher quality than the typically dry, crumbly products on the market today.

One of the quality benefits of functional milk proteins is their neutral taste an improvement on those solutions based on vegetable protein that have a distinctive off-flavour.
