Wheat Protein and the Vegetarian Diet

Wheat protein refers to the proteins found in wheat, including gluten, which is a composite of storage proteins known as prolamins and glutelins. It is commonly used in food products for its texture-improving properties and is also found in many personal care items like shampoos, toothpastes, and cosmetics for its film-forming and conditioning abilities.
