What it is

Hydrolyzed soy and corn protein is made by breaking down proteins from soybeans and corn into smaller pieces called amino acids. This process, called hydrolysis, is typically done using heat and enzymes or acids. It results in a savory, umami flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add hydrolyzed soy and corn protein to foods to enhance their savory or umami taste, acting as a flavor enhancer. It is commonly found in processed foods like soups, sauces, snacks, and frozen meals where it boosts the overall flavor profile.

Health notes

Hydrolyzed soy and corn protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of amino acids, which are building blocks for the body. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Hydrolyzed soy protein is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten as gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.
