Golden Peanut Vital Wheat Gluten is a highly concentrated protein in powder form obtained from high-quality wheat flour. Through a carefully controlled and gentle drying process, the raw material retains its natural elastic and flowing properties. In twisting with water, dry gluten regains its original properties, which become apparent in the form of a cohesive and elastic dough. It is precisely this high water binding capacity and viscoelasticity that are associated with the term "vital".
Wheat gluten consists of two main protein groups: gliadins and glutenins. Gliadins have a low molecular weight and behave similarly to viscous dispersions, while glutenins have the ability to form polymer network structures and act as cohesive elastic solids. Both protein groups contribute considerably to the viscoelastic properties and the high water binding capacity of wheat gluten. Wheat gluten forms the dough structure in bakery products. Wheat is the only cereal in which gluten in combination with water forms a viscoelastic mass. If you knead wheat flour with water to a dough and wash this dough under rolls in the hand with running water, you very easily remove the starch. What remains is a viscoelastic mass, the wheat gluten or wheat gluten. When dried gently, wheat gluten retains its vital properties and, as a vital gluten, is a very high-quality protein.
Manufacture:
For the production of Golden Peanut Vital wheat gluten, only high-quality wheat grains of European origin are used. Vital wheat gluten of high quality is obtained from the wheat flour obtained from it.

Raw materials are subject to strict quality controls, which we naturally adhere to. When selecting suppliers in Germany and the countries of origin, we ensure that all European standards are met, that the products are tested in the laboratory and that the analytical data comply with the strict product specifications. Our suppliers have many years of experience and all the certifications required to ensure consistently high quality (e.g. ISO 22000, IFS, BRC, FSSC or similar). We regularly audit our suppliers on site in order to convince ourselves of these high standards and to control all processes in the supply chain.
We focus on sustainability and want to meet the highest demands. That is why Golden Peanut offers you products of German quality. All products, which originally come from different countries all over the world, are checked in Germany for residues and carefully controlled. Only if a perfect quality is determined, the raw materials are processed further in Germany or filled into finished packages. In order to ensure marketability, we have our product labels checked for correct declaration before they are placed on the market.
