Description

Protein Hydrolyzates, Wheat Gluten are enzymatically or chemically derived peptide mixtures from wheat gluten, a key plant-based protein source. These hydrolyzates are valued for their enhanced solubility, digestibility, and functional properties compared to the native protein. They serve as vital functional ingredients and nutritional supplements across diverse industries. The product is identified by CAS No. 100684-25-1.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as a natural conditioning agent, film-former, and moisturizer in hair care and skincare products for its humectant and protein-replenishing properties.
• Nutraceuticals & Sports Nutrition: Incorporated into protein powders, meal replacements, and dietary supplements as a source of bioavailable amino acids and peptides.
• Food & Beverage: Functions as a flavor enhancer, emulsifier, and nutritional fortifier in processed foods, beverages, and health foods.
• Animal Feed: Employed as a palatability enhancer and digestible protein source in premium pet food and livestock feed formulations.
• Biotechnology & Fermentation: Serves as a complex nitrogen source and growth factor in microbial culture media and fermentation processes.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Potential use as a biodegradable carrier or functional agent in certain drug delivery systems.

Quality Control

Our Protein Hydrolyzates, Wheat Gluten are produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Depending on the intended application grade (cosmetic, food, or technical), production may adhere to relevant GMP guidelines. Each batch is analyzed for key parameters including peptide profile, nitrogen content, moisture, and microbiological purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption.
