Capitol Food Company Vital Wheat Gluten is isolated from hard wheat flour by natural wet-processing techniques followed by a delicate flash-drying process. It retains the vitality or viscoelasticity of wet gluten before the drying step. This product provides strength and elasticity, increases volume, and improves the texture of bread, buns, dinner rolls, and other yeast-leavened products. It imparts firmness to pasta and noodles and is used to enhance the protein content of breakfast cereals and snacks.

Capitol Food Company Soy Protein Isolate is rich in protein (23g per ounce, or 90% protein) and phosphorus and is a good source of isoflavones. It is mainly used to improve the texture of meat products, but it can also be used to increase protein content, enhance moisture retention, and act as an emulsifier.

Capitol Food Company Soy Protein Concentrate is basically defatted soy flour without water-soluble carbohydrates. This protein concentrate contains about 70% soy protein and retains most of the fiber of the original soybean. It is made by removing part of the carbohydrates (soluble sugars) from dehulled and defatted soybeans.

Capitol Food Company Wheat Protein Isolate is prepared by removing the starch from wheat flour and carefully drying the remaining high-protein fraction to retain the viscoelastic properties. This SQF-certified, high-quality, and cost-effective protein isolate is used in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications.

Capitol Food Company Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is also known as textured soy protein, soy meat, or soya chunks. It is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. This product is often used as a meat analog or meat extender. It is quick to cook, with a protein content comparable with certain meats.

Capitol Food Company Calcium Caseinate is a protein produced from casein in skim and sometimes 1% milk. At neutral or acid pH, casein is relatively insoluble in water and is easily separated from other milk proteins, sugars, and minerals. After the separation, casein is solubilized at a high pH with calcium hydroxide, and then the solution is spray-dried to obtain calcium caseinate.
