What it is

Hydrolyzed soy and corn proteins are made by breaking down soy and corn proteins into smaller pieces called amino acids. This process, called hydrolysis, is done using heat, acid, or enzymes. It is often used to create a savory, umami flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add hydrolyzed soy and corn proteins to enhance the savory flavor of foods, providing an umami taste. They are commonly found in processed foods like frozen appetizers, soups, and seafood products.

Health notes

Hydrolyzed soy and corn proteins are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of amino acids, which are essential for the body. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated them, but no specific numeric limits for intake were set. Some individuals may be sensitive to components of soy or corn.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Corn is not a major allergen. Gluten is not present.
