Wheat flour component (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gluten

(Other definitions for gluten that I've seen before include "Protein in grain that gives cohesiveness to dough" , "Substance contained in many grains" , "Protein in cereal grain" , "Gluey protein substance in flour" , "Protein source" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
