Hydrolyzed oat protein
What is Hydrolyzed oat protein?
Hydrolyzed oat protein (CAS 151661-87-9) is derived from oat grain through enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis, yielding a mixture of peptides and amino acids.
Where is Hydrolyzed oat protein used?
- Personal care: film-forming humectant and surface-conditioning agent
- Hair and skin care: protective peptide film that reduces moisture loss and improves surface texture in conditioners, serums, and leave-on treatments
- Shampoos and styling products: enhances wet combability and reduces breakage by binding to damaged hair fiber
- Food and nutritional products: plant-based protein fortification in beverages, bars, and functional supplements
- Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators use it as a functional excipient in topical preparations.
Good to know: Buyers should confirm molecular weight distribution and degree of hydrolysis against specification sheets, as these parameters affect film-forming performance and solubility.
Commercial specifications
- Aqueous solution; dry powder forms for lower water activity or extended shelf stability
- Liquid concentration typically 25% to 50% active solids
