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.
