Gluten
Do oats contain gluten?
Gluten is the name given to the protein in wheat, rye, barley and oats that affect
people with Coeliac disease. It is a composite name representing –
- Gliadin in Wheat
- Hordein in Barley
- Secalin in Rye
- Avenin in Oats
The current tests for gluten can measure gliadin, hordein, and secalin but not avenin as it is a slightly different protein.
