The "High Protein" trend continues to grow in the food sector, and more and more consumers are looking for bakery and pastry products with an improved nutritional profile, without sacrificing flavor, texture, or the consumption experience. In this context, GLUSTAR 100 provides a technical solution specially designed for bakery applications.
What is GLUSTAR 100?
GLUSTAR 100 is a thermally denatured wheat protein, with a minimum protein content of 78-80%, developed to offer excellent functionality in doughs and baked systems. Unlike traditional vital wheat gluten, GLUSTAR 100 does not exhibit viscoelastic properties, allowing the protein increase to be managed in a more controlled and stable manner across multiple applications.
