ICC WEBINAR: Gluten free: from a trend towards high quality products

Gluten-free food is present everywhere nowadays. Although only a small percentage of buyers of gluten-free products are gluten intolerant or gluten sensitive, the market grows about 25 % per year.

What’s the background on this nutritional trend? And how to make a good and tasty bread without gluten? What about the analytical methods to measure flour quality of e.g. wheat – can they also be used for rice, corn and chickpea flour?

In this 2-stage webinar (17 November and 15 December 2020), Aylin Sahin (University College Cork, Ireland) Stefan Jansen and Jessica Wiertz, (Brabender, Germany) will provide answers to these questions.
