The production process of gluten is the process of extracting coagulated protein from wheat flour. Flour generally contains 8 ~ 12% moisture, 60 ~ 80% starch and 8 ~ 15% protein. 25 kg wet gluten and 58 kg wheat starch can be obtained per 100 kg flour.
manufacturing method
1. Preparation of raw materials: put flour into a container, add 40% water (3% salt in water), fully stir, and process into sticky dough. Then let it stand for 1 hour, and the standing time can be slightly shorter in summer to prevent it from turning sour. Don't add too much water. In order to prevent the protein from dispersing in water before bonding, it brings difficulties to the operation and affects the gluten extraction rate.
2. Preparation: Put the dough into a close-hole roller, sieve or coarse cloth, and pour in water. When rubbing and washing, the starch will flow away with the water, and the protein left in the drum or cloth is wet gluten. The more times of washing, the lower the starch content in gluten, the higher the protein composition and the better the quality. Usually wash it 3 ~ 5 times. The water for washing flour contains a lot of starch, and wheat starch can be obtained by precipitation. The moisture content of wet gluten is 38%, and that of protein is about 60%. It has smooth surface, sufficient elasticity and good toughness.
manufacturing method
1. Oil gluten: Flour can be added or not. The formula of adding flour (Beijing, Shanghai) is: wet gluten 10 kg, flour 2.0 ~ 2.9 kg, a little salt. Stir for 7-8 minutes, take it out, cut it into small pieces, make it into small balls, put it in an oil pan with an oil temperature of 90- 100℃, fry it for 3-5 minutes to break the outer layer of the balls, take it out, put it in an oil pan with an oil temperature of 130-240℃, and fry it for 10 minutes.
2. Water gluten: cut the wet gluten into small pieces or balls, then put it in a water pot and heat it with steam, and keep the steam at 100℃ for about 30 minutes to become water gluten.
3. Baked bran: spread wet gluten in a steamer with a thickness of 2-3 cm and heat for 30 minutes to obtain baked bran.
