Biofactory yeast: Protein standard for measurement of gluten in beer

Gluten analysis | The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is a widely used organism for industrial production of a multitude of recombinant proteins. It is used in the project, presented here, for biosynthesis (gene expression) of gluten from wheat, barley and rye. Individual proteins produced in this way could, as reference material, make gluten analysis in the beverage sector more reliable, with a focus on the beer product. At the same time, it leads to a deeper understanding of P. pastoris as a production platform.
