From researching my gluten free products, I have deepened my understanding about the gluten free baking. Baking gluten-free products requires ingredient knowledge and an understanding of ingredient function in order to adapt existing baking formulas or to design new recipes. Not just ingredients, the shape
In my products, there are lots of eggs, cocoa powder, hazelnut flower, and chestnut paste in the recipe. These ingredient are expensive and rise the cost but I cannot reduce them because of the gluten-free baking. What I did was ignoring using fresh fruits for the decoration. Fresh fruit, like strawberry, raspberry are not in season and they are expensive.
Throughout the cost control, I have realized importance of the waste controlling and using seasonal ingredients. When we decorate, it is nice to use colorful fruit, but it rises the cost if you use them when they are not in season. Then I realized that we use lots of fresh fruit for decoration, and never concerned too much about the cost. VCC sells the baked products in lower price than outside. So we need a critical thinking about the cost as well. Otherwise, there will be no profit.
I also remember that in our walking cooler, there are a lot small containers piled up, with left filling or ingredients from the previous product. We did not throw away any left ingredients, but we rarely thinking about reuse them. We can make fruit bar or Rum ball with left over, but we also can make better or high-priced products using any left filling or

Raspberry jam goes well with chocolate flavor. Chestnut tarts didn’t feel any sandy and it was delicious. I am satisfied with my products. I think if I ignore the labour, both of my products are in acceptable price range. If there is a chance to try again I would like try lemon curd and passion fruit cream for filling of the both. I also want to put some fruit as a decoration in my tart.
I am very thankful of this chance, which makes me learn more about the gluten-free baking. I always misunderstand that gluten-free and special dietary baking are not tasty. Through this assembling I realized that we can make gluten-free or special dietary products as delicious as regular dessert. All we need is to understand well faction of the every ingredients including fruit and vegetable, and think how to substitute. Most of my classmates presented really nice products. I have got many useful information from them.
There is no one suffer from gluten problem around me, so I rarely pay attention to these products. I am not sure if there is more chance like this time that I can focus on gluten free or special dietary baking, so when I got the all printed recipe that we made, I feel like I got treasures because they worth to keep for

Although, it can also brings social challenges as well. The availability of strictly gluten free foods have increased dramatically over the last few years. But, a struggle that many people face is the difference in taste in some of the foods. Since these foods don’t contain gluten, it lacks the texture gluten gives it and does not bind as well as foods do with gluten. Foods often taste bland and do not carry the same flavors as expected. Hoyt explains that the foods she tried were “dry, crumbly, tasted like cardboard, and had absolutely no positive nutritional value” (Hoyt 3). To compromise, a person can modify their own recipes or find foods that have always been gluten free. Another “common strategy for maintaining the gluten free diet is reading product ingredients” (Bacigalupe, Plocha 1). In order to be sure that every food that is being consumed does not contain gluten, reading food labels is necessary. Learning how to read labels is crucial to living gluten free. A person has to be conscience of what ingredients they can and cannot have. To name a few; wheat, barley, rye and malt. If not, a person can buy and eat a food that they cannot have, contaminate themselves, and become

Not many people are affected by celiac disease and this is a good thing. If not treated properly, this disease can lead to other more life threatening diseases.

The treatment is simple and helps can help one drastically. Celiac disease should be taking seriously.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune deficiency triggered by the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Thousands of years ago, when a person’s diet consisted of mainly meats, fruits and nuts, celiac did not exist. However, once humans began using seeds from plants to grow crops, agriculture was born and along with it came celiac disease (Fasano, A August 2009). In a person living with celia...
Food advertisements, supermarket displays, and restaurant menus increasingly highlight foods, particularly bread, as being gluten-free. Gluten consists of two proteins, gliadin and glutamine, which combine and help produce light and fluffy bread (Lord, 2012). Wheat is bred for its high gluten content which serves efficiently well for all bakers and chefs. Today, gluten is becoming a problem in society since allergic reactions to the protein have increased. Bread is a worldwide staple food and gluten is a predominant aspect within the dough mixture. Gluten free bread is basically fixed as it was thousands of years ago without the fermentation of yeast and the mixture of sourdough.
...n, the body is able to regenerate villi and gut physiology and functions should return to normality. However more research is being done on alternative treatments. Enzyme therapy is currently being studied, the treatment relies on enzymes such as gluten-specific endopeptidases and endoprotease reducing the antigenicity of gluten (Zingone, F., et al., 2010). tTg and inhibitors are also being investigated, although several gliadin epitopes have been shown to mount an immune response without being deaminated (Sollid, M.L., 2005). Another method that was under clinical trials depended on desensitising the body to gluten via a course of vaccines gradually increasing the concentration of gluten, (Zingone, F., et al., 2010) however none of the above methods have passed clinical trials so the only common treatment for coeliac disease remains leading a gluten free lifestyle.

Grocery stores are now stocking large amounts of gluten-free products to respond to the surge in popularity. Many people believe that living gluten-free is healthier and will help them lose weight.
