Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Overview

Hydrolyzed wheat protein is protein that has been extracted from wheat and broken down into its individual amino acids.

This ingredient is commonly used for its film-forming abilities, in which is creates a water-resistant film around the product upon application. The film prevents the product from being easily rinsed away by water or sweat.

In addition to functioning as a film former, hydrolyzed wheat protein also works as an antistatic agent, where it reduces the electric charge buildup that occurs with static. This ingredient is supplied as a water soluble amber liquid with a faint pleasant odor.
