The results demonstrated that the selected phenolic acids could interact with gluten protein via covalent cross-linking as well as by hydrogen bonding, thereby changing the structure of the gluten protein. This exploration is expected to provide theoretical support for the development and utilization of whole-grain foods. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
