Characteristics and Application :

Hydrolyzed protein is protein that has been hydrolyzed or broken down into its component amino acids. While there are many means of achieving this, two of the most common are prolonged boiling in a strong acid or strong base or using an enzyme such as the pancreatic protease enzyme to stimulate the naturally-occurring hydrolytic process.

Hydrolyzed protein is a code word for MSG. It is a way that food manufacturers hide MSG. They even go as far as to label food "No Added MSG" and it is full of hydrolyzed protein. They hide it because it is addictive and causes people to eat more food; sort of like nicotine for food.

Side effect :

The problem is that it is a neuro-toxin and causes headaches in ~20% of the population.
