Determination of Gluten (Allergen) in Foods

Gluten is a protein found in various grains, especially barley, rye and wheat. Gluten is found in these grains and in all foods made from flours obtained from grains. Gluten provides texture and structure to foods. Thus, it ensures that the food maintains its shape.

Unfortunately, foods containing gluten cannot be easily consumed by everyone. For consumers with gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease, consuming foods containing gluten causes serious health problems. Consumers, who have become more aware of gluten allergy in recent years, can choose a gluten-free diet for healthy nutrition.

You may have come across the phrase "Gluten Free" in the markets. In order for a food to claim that it does not contain gluten, the product must pass Gluten Analysis. With Gluten Determination, the presence and amount of gluten in food can be determined.
