Claim 0:
1. A process for producing an isolated wheat protein, comprising:
mixing water and a composition comprising wheat protein, the composition having a protein content of at least 60% by weight to form a slurry;
determining a viscosity of the slurry;
agitating the slurry at a temperature between 15° C. and 52° C. until a viscosity of the slurry reaches between 170-240 cps, thus producing an isolated wheat protein;
drying the isolated wheat protein;
wherein at least 85% of granules of the dried isolated wheat protein are unable to pass through a #60 mesh sieve;
wherein neither an acid or a buffer are added to the slurry during the process; and
wherein the composition comprising the wheat protein is selected from the group consisting of wheat gluten, vital wheat gluten, wheat protein isolates, or wheat protein concentrates.
