Gluten is a protein that is normally found in starchy. Gluten is a mixture of amorphous (irregular shape) of the protein together with starch in the endosperm (and also the flour made from them) some cereals, notably wheat, rye, and soybeans. Of the three, is the most high wheat gluten. The content of gluten can reach 80% of the total protein in the flour. So when we eat food from grain products, then automatically we also consume gluten.
• Gluten avoided
There are some people who just avoid gluten. Gluten avoided because it can cause allergies and intolerances.
Simple allergy symptoms: itchy, watery eyes, cough, skin rash, runny nose, or diarrhea. These symptoms occur until several hours after eating or inhaling flour containing gluten. This occurs due to allergic antibody IgE, reacts to gluten which is regarded as a foreign object allergen, causing allergic effects. The way to prevent this is to avoid foods containing gluten. So if we do a gluten allergy, the risk we must avoid all cakes made from flour.
~ Gluten intolerance, in contrast with allergies.
Intolerance or celiac disease often called (celiac disease) is a hereditary disease that is permanent, where the consumption of gluten will cause damage to the small intestine resulting in impaired absorption of nutrients into the body. The entry of gluten into the digestive tract will cause autoimmune reactions (immune system attacks itself) that damage the protective layer of the intestinal wall. This damage causes the lining of the intestine is supposed to be the average winding thus less capable of absorbing nutrients from food, which eventually resulted in malnutrition. If gluten allergy caused by IgE antibody reaction, celiac disease caused by IgA and IgG antibody reactions. Usually the symptoms of celiac disease in children began to look after children were given extra food that is around the age of 4-6 months. If the food contains gluten, then there will be complaints of difficult bowel movements, diarrhea, bloating, and often cranky.
~ Gluten is also often associated with autism disease.
Children who suffer from autism are encouraged to do the gluten and casein-free diet. This is because the autistic children usually have abnormalities in the gut, namely the discovery of tiny holes in the intestinal mucosa and increased intestinal permeability, known as "Leaky gut". Gluten and Casein is a protein that is difficult to digest, especially due to the leaking of the intestinal mucosa, resulting into the blood circulation. Protein in the form of the peptide chain can enter the brain and attaches to opioid receptors, and changed into morphine that can affect the central nervous system and cause behavioral changes. Patients with this disease should also avoid all foods derived from gluten.
• Gluten is sought
Gluten can be considered as the core protein flour. Gluten-shaped chewy and can be flavored to resemble bacon. Gluten supposedly first discovered in the early 7th century AD by Buddhist monks in China. When it is, the pastors are reluctant to leave delicacy meat strives find vegetable protein as meat substitutes. Because in mainland China there are many wheat fields, the priests finally experimented with making a simple dough of wheat flour and water. When kneading dough and process it in a water bath, they discover something new. It turns starch was washed away in the water. The harder ground and kneaded, the more starch separate and float in the water, a result, remaining an elastic material and contains high protein. Once cooked, rubbery material that became known as gluten is transformed into a soft-textured materials like meat.
~ Gluten later become the mainstay of adherents Vegetarian who still want to feel the meat dishes, without breaking the rules Vegetarian which requires adherents eat only plant-based sources alone. Protein contains no less with meat protein. Nowadays many restaurants Vegetarian in large cities serving of processed meat menu with ingredients like gluten. Excellence artificial meat gluten include :
√ Safer from contamination of bacteria and viruses that often attack livestock, durable stored not quickly decompose and the price is cheap because it is made of flour at affordable prices.
