In Latin, ‘Glutinum’ means glue. Gluten is a mixture of proteins: prolamins and glutelins.
Gluten has always existed, however, in much smaller quantities. Back in the days, bread used to be made with freshly milled whole wheat flour and sourdough. During the sourdough fermentation process, proteins and carbohydrates present in the dough – including gluten – were degraded by the leaven. This process allowed obtaining bread with much smaller gluten content.
In addition, traditional bread used to be made with spring water. Nowadays, we use chlorinated water which destroys the leaven and its fermentation bacteria… Moreover, in order for bakeries to provide warm and freshly baked bread at any time, the unbaked dough is being refrigerated in order to bake them at the last moment, according to demand. The cold temperature however stops the fermentation process and prevents the dough from raising, and degrading the gluten proteins.
Big industries wanted to simplify the traditional process of bread making in order to produce cheaper and faster. Manpower has been replaced by machinery and the dough has been made more elastic – so it is easier to work with. For this reason, the level of gluten in bread was increased by using hybrid wheat varieties with higher gluten content.
Additionally, seed companies also wanted to increase productivity and therefore switched from high wheat varieties (1.5m tall) to modern GMOs wheat varieties (0.4m tall). Those modern varieties are more resistant to wind and have larger grains that can contain more than 69% of prolamine (gluten forming protein)… Read more
