Industrial Application of Protein Hydrolysates in Food.

Protein hydrolysates, which may be produced by the protein in the middle of the process or added as an ingredient, are part of the food formula. In food, protein hydrolysates are found in many forms, which can regulate the texture and functionality of food, including emulsifying properties, foaming properties, and gelation. Therefore, the relationship between the physicochemical and structural characteristics of protein hydrolysates and their functional characteristics is of significant importance. In recent years, researchers have conducted many studies on the role of protein hydrolysates in food processing. This Review explains the relationship between the structure and function of protein hydrolysates, and their interaction with the main ingredients of food, to provide reference for their development and further research.
