Quinoa protein hydrolysate as a functional protein ingredient for cosmetic hair care and multi industry formulation systems
Quinoa protein hydrolysate is a water soluble protein based raw material obtained through hydrolysis of Chenopodium quinoa proteins producing peptides and amino acids. In global B2B manufacturing this functional ingredient is widely used in cosmetic products hair care systems nutraceutical applications food systems SPA products and cleaning formulations reflecting strong demand for plant protein hydrolysates in international markets.
From a technological perspective the ingredient is fully soluble in water and integrates efficiently into aqueous phase. It maintains clarity at moderate concentrations and is compatible with surfactants emulsifiers and stabilizers. It performs consistently across a wide pH range and demonstrates stability during industrial processing making it suitable for scalable manufacturing and contract production.
Properties and functional role
