Abstract

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in demand for gluten-free foods. This rise can be attributed to a growing number of individuals opting for gluten-free diets due to factors such as gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. Interest in teff has also increased markedly due to its high protein content, balanced amino acid composition, and rich nutrient contents including fiber, iron, and calcium, along with its gluten-free nature. Additionally, teff exhibits positive functional properties that contribute to improving texture, moisture retention, and shelf life in gluten-free products. Its mild flavor profile allows for versatile applications across a spectrum of culinary applications, enhancing the sensory appeal and taste of gluten-free offerings. This makes it a suitable alternative to wheat and other grains in food applications for individuals with celiac disease. Overall, integrating teff into gluten-free formulations presents an attractive opportunity to enhance the nutritional quality, sensory experience, and market competitiveness of gluten-free products, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of consumers seeking gluten-free alternatives for health, dietary, or lifestyle reasons. Further research and innovation in teff-based product development are crucial to fully unlock its potential and promote inclusive, sustainable growth in the gluten-free food sector. Therefore, these attributes underscore teff's promising role in the global food and beverage industries.
