  • Publication number: 20220330599
    Abstract: Protein hydrolysate compositions and methods of making the same are disclosed. The protein hydrolysate composition has a protein-rich organic content. The protein hydrolysate composition may be substantially free of exogenous chelating agents, chaotropic agents and surfactants. The protein hydrolysate composition may be low in ash content.
