Quantitation of LMW-GS to HMW-GS Ratio in Wheat
Flours
Analyses were made on reduced glutenin from each of three preparations by RP-HPLC, SE-HPLC, and SDS-PAGE. Two solvents, DMSO and 50% propanol, were tested and found to extract appreciable amounts of polymeric protein, thus casting some doubts on the accuracy of the determinations. This paper explores the impact of solvents on glutenin. As illustrated in this paper, we continue to make steady progress on procedures to study the structure of wheat gluten. Along with the new techniques come new insights into gluten and its functionality.
