“…Among the gluten proteins, a/b, and !-gliadins contain six and eight cysteine residues, respectively, in their C terminal domains, all of which form homologous intra-chain disulphide bonds, whereas in glutenin fractions cysteine forms both intra and interchain disulphide bonds and a low level of cysteine remains free (Jansens et al, 2011). The amount of free thiol can be influenced by various conditions such as pH, temperature and hydrostatic pressure (Kieffer, Schurer, Köhler, & Wieser, 2007;Singh & MacRitchie, 2004).…”
