Products classified under HTS 1109.00.90
Vital Wheat Gluten Powder
Vital wheat gluten is a high-protein powder extracted from wheat flour through washing to remove starch, resulting in a dried product with at least 75% protein content. It falls under HTS 1109.00.90 as 'other' wheat gluten, whether or not dried, used primarily as a baking additive to improve dough elasticity. This classification applies to commercial-grade gluten not specified elsewhere in the subheading.
Dry Wheat Gluten for Baking
Dried wheat gluten in fine powder form, derived from wheat starch separation, used to boost protein in yeast breads and seitan production. Classified in HTS 1109.00.90 as other wheat gluten, meeting Chapter 11 milling criteria for starch and ash content. Ideal for commercial bakeries seeking dough strength without altering flavor.
Seitan Wheat Gluten Flour
Powdered vital wheat gluten specifically marketed for making seitan, a meat substitute, with high elasticity for texture mimicry. HTS 1109.00.90 covers this dried wheat gluten product, distinguished from flours by low starch via polarimetric method. Used in vegan food production meeting US protein fortification standards.
Commercial Wheat Gluten Additive
Bulk dried wheat gluten for industrial food processing, enhancing chewiness in noodles and pizza dough. Falls under HTS 1109.00.90 as unspecified wheat gluten, with starch content controlled per Chapter 11 Note (A) wheat limits. Essential for high-volume manufacturers.
High-Protein Wheat Gluten Isolate
Ultra-pure dried wheat gluten isolate with >80% protein, used in supplements and low-carb baking mixes. HTS 1109.00.90 applies to this 'other' form meeting milling starch/ash specs for wheat products. Differentiated from flours by extraction process.
Bulk Vital Wheat Gluten 50lb Bags
Vital wheat gluten packaged in 50lb industrial bags for bakery supply chains, dried to <10% moisture. Under HTS 1109.00.90 as other wheat gluten, compliant with Chapter 11 dry product starch limits. Streamlines large-scale dough conditioning.
Organic Vital Wheat Gluten
Certified organic vital wheat gluten from non-GMO wheat, dried powder for clean-label baking. HTS 1109.00.90 covers this premium wheat gluten variant, with organic status not affecting base classification but requiring verification. Meets strict US organic import standards.
Wheat Gluten for Noodle Production
Specialty dried wheat gluten optimized for Asian noodle elasticity, low ash content per Chapter specs. Classified HTS 1109.00.90 as other wheat gluten for industrial use. Enhances chewiness in ramen and udon manufacturing.
Food-Grade Wheat Gluten Pellets
Pelletized dried wheat gluten for automated dispensing in food plants, still pure gluten extract. HTS 1109.00.90 includes this formed 'other' wheat gluten, as form doesn't change base material per notes. Facilitates precise dosing.
Deactivated Wheat Gluten Powder
Heat-treated deactivated wheat gluten powder for allergy-safe baking, retaining protein but reduced allergenicity. Remains HTS 1109.00.90 as processed wheat gluten, not pharmaceutical. Used in gluten-challenged formulations.
Wheat Gluten for Pet Treats
Dried wheat gluten base for premium pet chews, high protein binder. HTS 1109.00.90 as food-grade wheat gluten, distinguished from feed by human consumption purity. Meets AAFCO protein specs.
Modified Wheat Gluten for Extrusion
Enzyme-modified wheat gluten for texturized vegetable protein extrusion, dried form. Classifies HTS 1109.00.90 if modification doesn't alter base gluten nature per Chapter notes. Key for meat analog lines.
Gluten Flour Vital Wheat Extract
Vital wheat gluten marketed as 'gluten flour' for home bakers, identical to commercial powder. HTS 1109.00.90 for this dried extract, not true flour due to starch removal. Retail packs under 5lb.
Industrial Wheat Gluten Binder
Wheat gluten used as binder in processed meats and veggie patties, dried powder form. HTS 1109.00.90 as other wheat gluten for food industry applications. High water absorption properties.
