This thesis is focused on wheat digestibility, particularly referring to proteins, starch and fibre nutrients, which can plays a crucial role in several fields as in food allergic reactions, glycemic index assessment and in the fibre degradation. Wheat is one of the most important crops in the world, used to make a vast range of food products, such as bread, pasta and cakes. Allergic reactions to food, including wheat products, are becoming more common in Western countries affecting up to 2% of the adult population and 6% of children (Sotkovsky et al., 2008). The stability of proteins to the gastro-intestinal digestion process after heat treatment may contribute to their allergenic potential. It is thought that resistance to digestion play...
