Does barley malt contain wheat gluten?

Answer 1

No, there is gluten in barley.

But interestingly, its different gluten to that in wheat.

Current research on gluten intolerance (and research on beer brewing) is looking at using barley components (protease) to help in the digestion of irritant wheat glutens. Experiments in rats are looking promising but extension of that to humans could take a decade.

Answer 2

Yes. Gluten is a type of protein and is recognized for its ability to help baked goods rise. On average, barley contains about 5% to 8% gluten. Individuals who are concerned about gluten should check with their health care advisor for more information.

Answer 3

Barley is related to wheat and barley grains definitely contain gluten.

Malted barley is barley grains which have been allowed to germinate, converting some of the starch into sugars.

Barley malt therefore contains gluten unless it's been specifically processed to remove it. It may or may not contain wheat gluten, depending on what the technical legal definition of that term is; I'm not a food chemist, so I don't know.
