What it is
Milk protein hydrolysate is made by breaking down milk proteins (like whey or casein) into smaller pieces called peptides. This process, called hydrolysis, uses enzymes or acids to make the proteins easier to digest. It is derived from cow's milk.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use milk protein hydrolysate as a source of protein in foods. It can also act as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients like oil and water. You can find it in protein bars, nutritional shakes, and some baked goods.
Health notes
Milk protein hydrolysate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is often used in infant formulas designed for babies with milk allergies because the proteins are broken down. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated milk proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Milk protein hydrolysate is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
