Disclosed herein is a method of assessing rheology characteristics of vital wheat gluten to determine how to improve the quality of VWG product and the choice of VWG for a particular product.

This disclosure relates to a semi-humic material, and compositions comprising the same, obtained from leonardite ore and a non-humic organic carbon source and a process for obtaining the same. Also described are methods for maintaining more available nitrogen and phosphorus in the plant root zone and minimizing premature leaching and loss of the nitrogen and/or phosphorus into the atmosphere, surface waters and/or subsurface ground water.
