Hydrolyzed Millet Protein

Hydrolyzed Millet Protein (CAS 227025-36-7), also marketed under the botanical designation Panicum miliaceum hydrolyzed, is a peptide and amino acid mixture derived from millet grain protein.

It functions as a film-forming humectant and conditioning agent across personal care, food, and nutraceutical formulations. In hair and skin care, it deposits a protective peptide film on the surface.

This improves moisture retention and reduces mechanical damage in leave-on and rinse-off products. Shampoos, conditioners, and scalp serums use it to deliver substantive conditioning without heavy residue.

In food and nutrition, it contributes plant-derived amino acids to protein-enriched beverages, bars, and dietary supplements. It is ideal for targeting clean-label or allergen-sensitive consumers.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators incorporate it as a stabilizing co-ingredient in peptide-based oral and topical delivery systems. It is typically supplied as an aqueous solution or powder.

Standard commercial grades are formulated for cosmetic and food applications, with concentrations commonly ranging from 30 to 50 percent active in liquid form for various industrial uses.

Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most established for this material. Buyers often request documentation aligned with INCI or food additive compliance requirements for global trade.
