What is Ammonium Hydrolyzed Protein?
Ammonium hydrolyzed protein is a type of protein that has been chemically processed with ammonium to break down its structure into smaller peptides and amino acids. This process enhances the flavor profile of the protein, making it a popular ingredient in flavor enhancement and savory foods. It is derived from animal sources, such as meat or fish, making it unsuitable for vegan or vegetarian diets.
