                                Invented by Italian scientist Jacopo Beccari in 1745, the process of isolating gluten has long been a cornerstone of cereal chemistry. This technique relies on a fundamental principle of physical chemistry to separate the complex protein from other components in wheat flour, mainly leveraging its unique insolubility.
