Microproteins and gluten

Le microproteins in cereals may be harmful to intolerant consumers?

Let's dispel this myth.

If you are gluten intolerant, surely you have wondered whether Linea M microprotein products, which contain Microproteins derived from Grano, could be harmful to you in case of contact with your mouth.

Scientific focus:

Starting with Plant microproteins: they are derived from grains and consequently contain gluten, but you need not worry.

Microprotein derived from wheat is a protein hydrolysate. During the production process, the native gluten (gliadin), which is an insoluble protein (characterized by its very high molecular weight), is converted into a state soluble and lower molecular.

Insoluble residues are separated by several filtration steps during production.

Furthermore, we have ensured by GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography) analysis that our wheat protein hydrolysates do not show any native gluten peaks.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the native gluten (Gliadin) is present in the raw material due to the production procedure used and the solubility behavior of the products.

Can I use Microproteins even if I am gluten intolerant?

So, having said that, you should know that all products that contain Wheat Microproteins can also be used by those with gluten intolerances or allergies.

Even if they come in contact with the mouth, they would have a very low probability of reaching the intestines, which is where the problem arises.

So don't worry and enjoy your Microprotein length treatment!
