Abstract
Abstract This wheat product comprises endosperm in which the cellular structure is completely disrupted and dispersed. The starch granules are free and unassociated with gluten protein particles. The granules are intact, ungelatinized and retain the native anisotropic structure. The gluten protein is metamorphosed to smoothly contoured particles containing very little starch and is substantially undenatured with respect to doughing function. Depending on intended use, the germ and aleurone fractions of the wheat grain can be excluded or included in the product. The product can be used as an aqueous dispersion or in a dried form.
