Protein Hydrolysate: Rich alternative to Protein and Lactose Intolerance

Research Insights:

Protein hydrolysates are mainly defined as a complex mixture of peptides, free amino acids, and oligopeptides and are a significant source of bioactive peptides. Protein hydrolysates are of particular interest in the food and beverage industry because of the plethora of benefits they have for food products and human health. They are partially hydrolyzed or digested before consuming, making them easy to digest. Protein hydrolysates are incorporated in solid or liquid form of foods and are incredibly beneficial to patients who develop intolerance to the protein in regular food intake. They are generally obtained from plant sources or marine sources and are widely applicable in dietetics, clinical and therapeutics, nutritional products, and infant products. 

The growth of the market is primarily driven by rapid advancements and research on protein hydrolysates. Protein hydrolysates also have a unique application in sports medicine. The composition facilitates the absorption of amino acids in the body and thereby bolsters the nutrient availability to muscle tissues. Additionally, the use of protein hydrolysates in infant formula enhances the amino acid absorption and is anticipated to drive the growth of the market over the coming years. Animal-based protein hydrolysates are more in demand than plant-based protein hydrolysates due to the higher quantity of protein content in animal-based hydrolysates products. Milk protein hydrolysates are the major consumed hydrolysates and dominate the protein hydrolysates market. It offers numerous benefits and is applicable in various industry verticals such as sports, nutrition, and infant health. Protein hydrolysates are gaining massive importance in the infant nutrients segments. A surge in milk and lactose intolerance among infants is driving the need for low-lactose and high protein formulas.

Some of the prominent players of the market include Kerry Group plc, Abbott Laboratories (Nutrition division), Tate & Lyle plc, Arla Foods Ingredients, Merck Life Sciences, Fonterra, Hilmar Cheese, Friesland Campina, BD, Tatua, Milk Specialities, New Alliance Dye Chem, Pvt. Ltd., and Agropur, among others. In September 2019, Arla Foods Ingredients unveiled a novel protein hydrolysate product, Lacprodan HYDRO.PowerPro, made from 100% whey and was 50% less bitter than other products made through the same products.

World Food Programme and Kerry Group, plc, a global leader in the food ingredients industry and nutraceuticals, joined forces to provide nutritional and meals rich in protein to schools in the Central American region Honduras. The project's duration is three years, and Kerry Group will donate more than USD 700,000 and offer technical support.
