Protein hydrolysates

General information

In addition to their natural occurrence, for example in cow’s milk, protein hydrolysates are added to hair-care products, such as shampoos and conditioners, and are supposed to “repair” damaged hair. Hydrolysed proteins are also used in other body-care products, for example soaps, bath gels, and creams. They are also used in sports drinks, which contain mostly dipeptides and tripeptides [ ].
