PRO MINO HVP Powder
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) is a type of protein derived from maize starch.
The process of hydrolysis involves breaking down the proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids using enzymes or acids, which results in a more digestible and soluble form of protein.
HVPs are commonly used as flavour enhancers in processed foods, such as spices, stock, soups, sauces, and snack foods due to their savory and meaty taste. They can also be used as a source of protein in food products, particularly in vegan and vegetarian diets where animal-based proteins are avoided.
TASTE
One of the benefits of HVPs is their ability to enhance the umami flavor, which is a savory taste often associated with meat, cheese and mushrooms. This makes them a popular ingredient in vegetarian and vegan products that aim to mimic the taste and texture of meat-based products.
