They&#8217;re meticulous label readers who expect the gluten-free products they consume to have the volume, appearance, texture, nutrition, flavor and shelf life that&#8217;s comparable to their gluten containing counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>And a growing number of consumers are becoming more accepting and aware of products in this category. With gluten-free products gaining momentum, the FDA recently published a definition of the term for use in the United States, harmonizing their rule to the international standards in the Codex and European Commission Regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does the momentum for gluten-free products look like in terms of the marketplace? <\/strong><br \/>\nNearly 24,000 food and beverage products have been launched globally in the last year that make claims of gluten-free, according to Mintel&#8217;s Global New Products Database. It&#8217;s clear that companies are recognizing this underserved market and are taking note of the continuing success of new products in this area.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, formulators face the challenge of creating gluten-free formulations more regularly. Knowing the basics of replacing gluten-containing ingredients with more acceptable ones is integral to successful formulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does gluten function?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the broadest terms, gluten, which is derived from wheat, is a water-insoluble, stretchy complex protein when mixed with water. It can have one or more of the following functions within a product, so these are the properties that you will need to replace in your formulation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water absorption agent<\/li>\n<li>Water retention agent<\/li>\n<li>Thermosetting agent<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/search?k=strengthener&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strengthener<\/a>\/Enhancer<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/search?k=%22film+former%22&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Film Former<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/search?k=binder&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Binder<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/search?k=texturizer&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texturizer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/search?k=%22processing+aid%22&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Processing Aid<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/search?k=stabilizer&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stabilizer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/Product\/search?k=Thickeners&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thickener <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/search?k=%22flavor+enhancer%22&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flavor enhancer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For replacing flour in a formulation, you will need to consider using a hydrocolloid, a protein source, a starch, and\/or possibly a small amount of fat depending on your application. There is no &#8220;one size fits all&#8221; solution. The ideal ratio for these ingredients will vary depending on how the gluten would have functioned in the gluten-containing formula. For example, bread formulas will be different in proportion than cookie formulas, as you require more visco-elasticity to produce a comparable bread product.<\/p>\n<p>Use sensory testing to determine what traits are most valuable in helping you determine your proportions and learn what mixing\/processing functions are affected most by the use of gluten.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips for formulating gluten-free products:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>As celiac organizations warn their members, <strong>avoid using proteins from wheat, barley, rye, or triticale<\/strong> \u2013 avoid use of their derivatives, like graham flour, semolina, spelt, durum, and farina as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You need to know where gluten may come from when formulating<\/strong> \u2013 it could be a component in a dry mix, soup base, malt vinegar, soy sauce or seasoning blend you are using. Gluten free alternatives may be readily available from your supplier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour blends combining rice, tapioca and potato ingredients<\/strong> are a usual starting point. Consider the use of the following ingredients in your formulation as a starch component:\n<ul>\n<li>Amaranth<\/li>\n<li>Arrowroot Starch<\/li>\n<li>Bean Flour or Pea Starch<\/li>\n<li>Buckwheat (buckwheat is not a wheat, despite it&#8217;s name)<\/li>\n<li>Corn Bran Germ, Meal, or Starch<\/li>\n<li>Millet<\/li>\n<li>Quinoa<\/li>\n<li>Potato Flour or Potato Starch Flour<\/li>\n<li>Rice Bran, Flour, or Starch Flour<\/li>\n<li>Sorghum Flour<\/li>\n<li>Tapioca or Cassava Starch<\/li>\n<li>Teff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>You may need a protein or hydrocolloid element<\/strong> to help with the strengthening and binding aspects that you would have received in a formula with gluten, especially in products where the gluten functionality is critical, like bread or some batters. Also consider adding these to improve your nutritional profile \u2013 the addition of nut or bean proteins can offer a boost in your protein levels that may offer a point of difference between you and your competitors. The following ingredients may prove helpful in fulfilling this need in your formulation:\n<ul>\n<li>Egg ingredients<\/li>\n<li>Nut flours<\/li>\n<li>Bean and pea proteins<\/li>\n<li>Whey proteins<\/li>\n<li>Soy proteins<\/li>\n<li>Hydrocolloids: carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, xanthan gum, guar gum and alternatives like flax and\/or chia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional fat may be required<\/strong> to maintain similar eating qualities in a gluten-free formulation, especially over the shelf life of the finished product. Recall that wheat flour contains a small amount of fat that may help your product improve the textural properties over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider use of fiber and fortification<\/strong> in your formulation \u2013 some products on the market are lacking in nutrients that would be more available in gluten-containing formulations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water hydration is likely to change<\/strong> in your gluten-free formulation, and thus, more control of your mix times, shelf life, microbial levels, and texture may be necessary. To improve your shelf life, consider the use of mold inhibitors, staling reduction enzymes, or require freezing of your product to ensure its stability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drop-in bulk flour replacement mixes<\/strong> are available to expedite your development cycle and can be found through many ingredient suppliers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While this topic is vast, hopefully these suggestions will get you started in discovering your options for creating a successful gluten-free product.
