(HVP) (Non-GMO Soya Base)
What is hydrolysed vegetable protein – Flavor Enhancer?
Taj Agro is one of the leading bulk manufacturers of Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein or HVP
which is produced by boiling non GMO, defatted Soya powder, in acid and then neutralizing the
solution with sodium hydroxide. The acid hydrolyzes, or breaks down, the protein in vegetables
into their component amino acids. The resulting powder contains, among other amino acids,
glutamic acid which consumers are more familiar with as MSG, or mono sodium glutamate. It is
used as a flavor enhancer in many processed foods.
HVP acts as a flavor enhancer for seasoning on ready to eat food products. As the proteins are
broken down into their constituent amino acids, the result contains as much as 20 percent
glutamate and that is the reason hydrolysed vegetable protein is accounted as a constituent in
foods giving it a savory or a meaty flavor.
- Natural substitute for salt & MSG
- Enhancing umami/meaty flavor
- Good solubility.
- Natural and safe.
- Better mouth fullness.
- 100% vegetarian
Applications:
