Though rice is essentially a high-calorie food, it also has a protein content of about 7%. Oryzenin, a type of glutelin is the major protein present in rice grains. Rice protein has a higher nutritional value than that of other cereals such as wheat and maize.
Glutelin found in rice proteins does not trigger celiac disease unlike that of glutelins found in wheat or barley. It is because the glutelin present in rice is a low molecular weight glutelin whereas high molecular glutelin is the one that might trigger celiac disease. They exist as macromolecular complexes and are hydrophobic. They are soluble in acid and alkaline solutions and are processed into polypeptides to store in vacuolar compartments of the cells.
