Abstract
Gluten proteins from wheat, rye, and barley count among the most complex and diverse protein aggregates found in nature. Their qualitative and quantitative composition is determined by genetic and environmental factors, the interaction between the two, and processing from the grain to the final product. This chapter provides an overview of the classification of gluten proteins, their primary, secondary, and tertiary structure, and their disulfide structure and network formation capacity, as well as the role of gluten in celiac disease, wheat allergy, and nonceliac wheat sensitivity.
