Celiac disease is an autoimmune-mediated disorder triggered in genetically susceptible individuals by the ingestion of some gluten proteins, namely gliadins. To prevent inadvertent gluten consumption, the Commission Regulation (EC) Nº41/2009 will implement labelling foods as “gluten-free” or “low-gluten content”[1].

Celiac disease is an autoimmune-mediated disorder triggered in genetically susceptible individuals by the ingestion of some gluten proteins, namely gliadins. To prevent inadvertent gluten consumption, the Commission Regulation (EC) N°41/2009 will implement labeling foods as ‘gluten-free” or “low-gluten content.
In the present work a high performance liquid-chromatography UV/Vis method was developed to quantify gliadins in foods. Gliadins are prolamins and are one of the constituents of wheat gluten (approximately 50%). These compounds have particular importance in food analysis since they are responsible for the celiac disease, which is an intolerance ar hypersensitivity to ingested prolamins.
