What it is
Hydrolyzed corn gluten and wheat gluten are proteins derived from corn and wheat, respectively. They are created through a process called hydrolysis, which breaks down the proteins into smaller pieces. This process can enhance their flavor and solubility.
Why it's used
These ingredients are often used as flavor enhancers or to add a savory, umami taste to foods. They are commonly found in seasoning mixes, marinades, dips, and gravies, where they contribute to a richer flavor profile.
Health notes
Hydrolyzed corn gluten and wheat gluten are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. JECFA has evaluated hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, which include these ingredients, and established acceptable daily intake levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Hydrolyzed wheat gluten is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, this ingredient is not suitable for individuals with wheat allergies or celiac disease.
