Thus, the protein bulk of wheat gluten materials is non-toxic and fully biodegradable, whatever the technological process applied.
Gluten seemed to lead to phase separation, forming a separate layer without interacting with the collagen matrix.
The good adhesion between the fiber and the wheat gluten matrix enabled a more effective transfer of stress from the wheat gluten matrix to the fiber and also reduced water absorption into the wheat gluten matrix.

Wheat gluten fibers have better tensile properties than soyprotein- and casein-based biomaterials.
The aggregation is probably induced by partial dehydration of gluten matrix due to competition for water molecules between gluten proteins and fibre polysaccharides.
Our results show that, currently, there is no single ELISA method that can accurately detect and quantify gluten in all different matrices.
Thus, for future successful use of hemp fibers to reinforce gluten materials, an appropriate method to increase the fiber–protein matrix interaction is needed.
These results indicate that the nanocellulose is promising as a reinforcing agent in gluten polymers.
