description: vital wheat gluten occurs as a cream to light tan, free-flowing powder. It is the water-insoluble complex protein obtained by water extraction of wheat or wheat flour. It is soluble in alkalies, and partly soluble in alcohol and dilute acids. Vital wheat gluten is characterized by high viscoelasticity when hydrated, while devitalized wheat gluten has lost this character because of denaturation by heat.
