Gluten — Durum Wheat

Triticum durum Desf.

A key factor in the pasta-making quality of durum wheat, determining the ability of semolina to maintain product structure during cooking. Unlike soft wheat, the primary concern is not the gross percentage of gluten, but its viscoelastic properties, expressed through the gluten index.

In the reference 167 varieties crop Durum wheat, where this is mentioned in the description.

For durum wheat, gluten quality is the determining trait ensuring the formation of high-quality dough for pasta production. In contrast to bread-baking standards, the critical indicator here is the gluten index, which should be 70–90% for high-quality product manufacturing; values below 65% are considered insufficient. The quantity of wet gluten often exceeds 28–30%, but it is secondary to the structural state of the protein complex.

Technological evaluation requires a specific washing procedure that accounts for the rheological properties of the grain. Agronomic factors, such as nitrogen nutrition, significantly influence protein accumulation, while infestation by the Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps) leads to enzymatic protein degradation. This causes gluten breakdown, rendering it weak or crumbly, which depreciates the raw material for the pasta industry regardless of the total protein content.
