Gluten free products in bakery

Gluten free products in bakery – Stabiliser systems, the smart solution​

Gluten, a protein in wheat flour, gives baked products structure, strength and texture. It helps to retain the gas generated during rising process. Without Gluten, cakes do not rise; and lose their softness, texture and mouth feel. Tate & Lyle’s stabiliser systems are able to replace the functionality of gluten – containing a combination of different starches, such as rice or potato and hydrocolloids. The properties in these baked goods show similar quality and texture to conventional ones.

A major challenge in creating gluten-free products is to ensure that they can withstand the rigours of mass production, baking, freezing, thawing, transport, storage and display - and remain as appetizing as the original. Tate & Lyle Food Systems provides gluten-free solutions for Muffins, Cakes, Batters, Biscuits and Sponges.
