What is Gluten? 

Gluten is a mix of two types of proteins which are found in many different types of grain. Due to its binding properties, it is also called as an adhesive protein. It consists of two different groups of proteins: the glutenins and the prolamines. In the wheat, these two proteins have different names, called glutenin and gliadin. 

Gluten also plays a central role, particularly in baking: by adding water to it, gluten gives the dough elasticity and, at the same time, stabilises the structure. It further assures that the dough rises during baking. 

Aim of the new service developed by DCL 

The new service by the DCL strives to assure the accuracy of the information that is mentioned on the label of the food product (gluten-free) to secure the consumers of the quality of products and protect the consumers. 

The service has been implemented as many people in the UAE and the world has gluten intolerance and can’t consume it or feel severely sick.
