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. 

 

Key-benefits in bakery and pastry 

 

 

✔ Increased protein content

Ideal for developing "high protein" products or enriching existing formulations.

✔ Excellent dispersibility

 It easily integrates into doughs and batters without negatively affecting the process.

✔ Stability and consistency

It contributes to texture and structural control in baked goods.

✔ Compatible with industrial processes

High technological tolerance for automated lines and large-scale production.

✔ Clean label profile

Its natural origin from wheat supports declarations that are better aligned with current market trends.
