Glutelin is a class of insoluble plant proteins that are found in cereal grains, such as rice, oats, and wheat. They are usually extracted in dilute acid or alkali. Glutelins make up a significant portion of the total protein content in these grains and play important roles in the nutritional and functional properties of the grains.
