Wheat gluten is responsible for the unique baking properties of wheat flour, but it also causes wheat-related disorders in predisposed individuals. Different commercially available gluten materials are commonly used for a variety of assays, but a detailed characterization of their composition is missing in many cases. This is why we aimed to provide an in-depth analysis of three commonly used gliadin and gluten materials from two different batches using gel electrophoretic and chromatographic techniques. The gliadin material did not show the typical qualitative and quantitative protein composition and does not appear to be representative of wheat gliadin. The two gluten materials had the expected protein composition, but both showed large batch-to-batch variability regarding total protein content. Since these variations result in different biochemical, immunological, and functional behaviors, it is important to analyze at least the total protein content of each material and each batch.

: The link between celiac disease (CD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been well-documented in the medical literature and is thought to be due to a shared genetic predisposition in addition to environmental triggers. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and biopsy-proven CD (PBCD) prevalence in individuals with T1D from Saudi Arabia and identify their clinical characteristics and the impact on glycemic control. : A total of 969 children and adolescents with confirmed T1D were investigated.

Triboelectric separation, a solvent-free method, was investigated as a tool for protein enrichment in wheat flour. Gluten-starch model mixtures, flour, and reground flour fractions were evaluated for their separation characteristics (selectivity and efficiency). Mass yield, protein content, particle size distribution, and SEM analysis were used to assess performance.

Buckwheat () is a gluten-free crop valued for its protein, fiber, and essential minerals. This study investigates the rheological properties of buckwheat (BW) dough, both with and without the addition of gums (no gum, guar (GG), xanthan (XG)), at varying barrel temperatures (25, 55, and 85 °C) of the rheometer and at different water content levels (45, 50, and 55% /) to optimize dough formulations for 3D food printing. Using high shear stress capillary tests, the consistency coefficient (K) and flow behavior index (n) were measured.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are used to treat various malignancies. They block the inhibitory signals of tumor cells and enhance the inflammatory cascade, which results in tumor killing. However, this can lead to unchecked inflammation throughout the body, leading to various adverse effects.
