Is Malt Extract Gluten Free?

Malt extract is typically not gluten-free as it is usually derived from barley, which contains gluten. However, there are some specialty malt extracts made from gluten-free grains like sorghum or rice, which would be safe for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

 

Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

How Tolerase® G Works

It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions

How much gluten is in malt extract?
Malt extract typically contains gluten. The amount of gluten in malt extract can vary depending on the specific product and manufacturing process. Generally, malt extract is considered to have a significant amount of gluten, often exceeding the 20 parts per million threshold for gluten-free labeling. Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid malt extract unless it is specifically labeled as gluten-free.
Can celiacs eat barley malt extract?
Celiacs generally cannot safely consume barley malt extract. Barley contains gluten, which is harmful for people with celiac disease. Even small amounts of gluten from barley malt extract can trigger symptoms and intestinal damage in celiacs. It's best for those with celiac disease to avoid products containing barley malt extract.
Why is malt not gluten-free?
Malt is not gluten-free because it is typically made from barley, which contains gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. During the malting process, the barley grains are germinated and then dried, but this does not remove the gluten protein. As a result, any product containing malt or malt extract is not considered gluten-free and should be avoided by those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Is malt good for celiac disease?
Malt is not good for celiac disease. It is typically made from barley, which contains gluten. People with celiac disease need to strictly avoid gluten to prevent intestinal damage and other symptoms. Therefore, malt and products containing malt should be avoided by those with celiac disease.
