Development of a Celiac Safe Food Additive

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Gluten Intolerance
Interventions
Other: Breakfast rolls consisting of wheat flour with and without a E304i/zinc additive
Registration Number
NCT06005376
Lead Sponsor
Chalmers University of Technology
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial was to investigate if intestinal deamidation of gliadin from wheat bread could be hindered by adding a E304i/zinc additive. The study was a randomized double-blind 4-week crossover intervention in 20 healthy volunteers in which the participants ingested 2 bread rolls a day during the intervention weeks.

The question it aimed to answer was if there was a difference in blood levels of deamidated gliadin peptides after ingestion of the reference wheat bread compared with the wheat bread containing the food additive.
