ISOLATION OF GLUTEN FROM WHEAT FLOUR AND ITS COLOR REACTION IN DIFFERENT QUALITATIVE TESTS Abstract: Gluten is isolated from wheat flour by washing it with water‚ dissolving the flour’s water soluble components and therefore separating gluten from it. The isolated gluten was then used in different qualitative colour reaction tests. These tests determine what amino acids are present in a protein‚ in this case gluten. Introduction: Proteins are large biological molecules that are made up of amino
