Gluten is a specific type of plant storage protein that can impair the health of gluten-prone persons following consumption, depending on the origin. The most severe effects are induced by wheat, barley, and rye. The only treatment is based on the absolute avoidance of those foods, as even traces might have severe effects on human well-being. With the goal of binding gluten impurities after ingestion, an in vitro setting was created. A special processed kind of zeolite, purified clinoptilolite-tuff (PCT), was implemented as an adsorber of gluten derived from different origins. Zeolites are known for their excellent sorption capacities and their applications in humans and animals have been studied for a long time. Tests were also performed in artificial gastric and intestinal fluids, and the adsorption capacity was determined via a certified validated method (ELISA). Depending on the kind of gluten source, 80\u2013130 \u00b5g\/mg of gluten were bound onto PCT. Hence, purified clinoptilolite-tuff, which was successfully tested for wheat, barley, and rye, proved to be suitable for the adsorption of gluten originating from different kinds of crops. This result might form the basis for an expedient human study in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms23095143","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,5]],"date-time":"2022-05-05T13:10:26Z","timestamp":1651756226000},"page":"5143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Purified Clinoptilolite-Tuff as an Efficient Sorbent for Gluten Derived from Food"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Carmen","family":"Ranftler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Glock Health, Science and Research GmbH, Hausfeldstra\u00dfe 17, 2232 Deutsch-Wagram, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"R\u00f6hrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glock Health, Science and Research GmbH, Hausfeldstra\u00dfe 17, 2232 Deutsch-Wagram, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4047-2902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Sparer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glock Health, Science and Research GmbH, Hausfeldstra\u00dfe 17, 2232 Deutsch-Wagram, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cornelius","family":"Tschegg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glock Health, Science and Research GmbH, Hausfeldstra\u00dfe 17, 2232 Deutsch-Wagram, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dietmar","family":"Nagl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glock Health, Science and Research GmbH, Hausfeldstra\u00dfe 17, 2232 Deutsch-Wagram, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2606","DOI":"10.1080\/10408398.2019.1651689","article-title":"Gluten-related disorders: Celiac disease, wheat allergy, and nonceliac gluten sensitivity","volume":"60","author":"Cabanillas","year":"2020","journal-title":"Crit.
