Variety traits

Gluten

Gluten is a complex of water-insoluble wheat proteins that forms the structure of dough. Its quantity and quality are genetically determined varietal traits that define the technological value of the grain.

Mentioned in descriptions 3 027 varieties reference book.

Gluten is a complex of water-insoluble proteins (gliadin and glutenin) that forms when flour is mixed with water. In dough, it creates an elastic framework that retains carbon dioxide, which determines the volume, porosity, and shape of bakery products.

The ability to accumulate protein and form gluten is a genetically determined varietal trait. Indices are evaluated by quantity (percentage of sample weight) and quality, which is measured by the gluten deformation index (GDI), reflecting the protein's ability to resist compression.

In addition to genetics, gluten content is influenced by agronomic practices, including nitrogen fertilization, and environmental factors during the grain-filling period. Gluten quality can significantly deteriorate under the influence of pests, such as the Eurygaster bug, even when a high overall protein level is maintained.
