Gluten degrading enzymes: what does the science say?
About the webinar:
Research shows the presence of background gluten in many people eating ‘gluten-free’ diets. In our upcoming webinar, gluten-free guru Dr Kim Faulkner-Hogg explores recent research which suggests gluten degrading enzymes can play a support role as part of a gluten free diet. She will describe how enzymes degrade gluten, the characteristic features that make a good enzyme and why some are better than others. Plus, Kim introduces the proposed role amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) play in non-coeliac wheat sensitivity and coeliac disease.
