Bakery, noodles, plant-based meat, meat products, pet foodPhysically, vital wheat gluten is a cream to light yellow free-flowing powder with a natural grain aroma. Its key functional characteristics include strong water absorption (typically ≥ 160% of its dry weight), high viscoelasticity, extensibility, film-forming ability, adhesion and thermocoagulation. These properties make it an exceptionally versatile ingredient for texture modification across food categories.
Our food grade vital wheat gluten is produced from premium wheat and meets the requirements of GB/T 21924-2025 (Wheat Gluten), the current national standard of China, with a dry-basis protein content of ≥ 82.0% (N×6.25), moisture ≤ 8.0% and ash ≤ 1.0%. ISO, HALAL and KOSHER certifications are available, and each batch is supplied with a complete Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Vital wheat gluten contains no additives and no added salt; it is a clean-label, plant-based protein ingredient that fully supports the growing consumer demand for natural protein fortification and texture improvement.

FAQ :
1.What is Vital Wheat Gluten?
Vital wheat gluten (CAS 8002-80-0) is the natural protein fraction of wheat obtained by washing wheat flour to remove starch, then drying gently to keep the gluten active and functional.
2.What is the protein content?
Our food grade vital wheat gluten has a dry-basis protein content of ≥ 82.0% (N×6.25), equivalent to ≥ 75% when expressed as N×5.7. Higher protein levels are available upon request.
3.What standards does it comply with?
It is manufactured and controlled according to GB/T 21924-2025 (Wheat Gluten), the current national standard of China, and ISO, HALAL and KOSHER certifications are available.
4.What are the main applications?
Bread and bakery products, noodles and pasta, plant-based meat, meat products, snacks, and pet food / feed.
5.Is Vital Wheat Gluten suitable for clean-label formulations?
Yes. It is a natural, additive-free, plant-based protein ingredient, widely used to improve texture and nutrition while supporting clean-label claims.
6.What is your MOQ, and do you support bulk supply?
Our MOQ is 500 kg. As a source manufacturer, we provide stable bulk supply with competitive factory-direct pricing, and support customized packaging (e.g., 25 kg kraft bags with PE liner) and delivery terms.
