Welcome to the World of Wheat Protein!

Wheat Protein is the natural protein derived from wheat or wheat flour and is used in many products. The functionality of wheat protein appears to have no functional competitor. Wheat protein is non-GM and a sustainable solution for the growing global demand for protein ingredients in food and feed markets.

The Wheat Protein Association (WPA) promotes the common interest of the international wheat protein industry through lawful activities that can be conducted most effectively by an Association.

One the WPA primary objectives is to help food and feed technologists identify those areas where wheat protein can play an important role in new vegetable protein-based product development. Today’s consumers require products with excellent appearance, flavor, functionality, nutrition and price-value.

As a natural food, the increasing awareness of the unique functional properties of wheat protein coupled with the growing use of all vegetable proteins augurs well for significant market growth in the years ahead.
