What it is

Hydrolyzed soybean protein is made from soybeans that have been broken down into smaller protein pieces through a process called hydrolysis. This process uses water and sometimes enzymes or acids to break the protein chains.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add hydrolyzed soybean protein to foods to enhance or create savory, umami flavors, similar to the taste of meat or broth. It is often found in soups, sauces, seasonings, and snack foods.

Health notes

Hydrolyzed soybean protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Hydrolyzed soybean protein is derived from soy, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
