Gluten Free Biscuits

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages. Symptoms include chronic diarrhoea, and fatigue. The only treatment is long life diet with absence of gluten. The developed gluten free biscuit is also enhanced with protein and fibre contents contributed by the ingredients chosen being nutritional and gluten free. There is a demand for gluten free products to cater to the needs of the people suffering from celiac diseases. Hence good market exists for gluten-free products.

The gluten free biscuits have golden brown crust colour, smooth surface, dull white crumb colour, crisp texture and typical taste of biscuits.  Immunological validation of gluten free biscuits showed the absence of gluten protein in biscuits. Hence these biscuits can be considered as immunologically safe for celiac disease patients.

The process consists of the pre-processing of pseudo-cereal and legume flour for the preparation of gluten free biscuits using other biscuit ingredients along with permitted flavours and additives.
