gluten

Gluten is a protein which is contained in certain cereals, particularly in wheat. It has an important function in bread production as it is responsible for the light elastic consistency and holds the dough together. It can be added to sausage, cheese and in desserts. Some people have an allergy to gluten and for this reason, it must be declared (regulations on allergen labeling).
