How we scored it
Protein hydrolysate (acid or enzyme) of avocado protein: peptides and amino acids of plant origin plus water. 1.00.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
Avocado seed or pulp protein is hydrolysed with acid or enzymes and filtered. Acids and bases used for hydrolysis leave no counted mass.
In plain English
Short protein fragments and amino acids obtained by breaking down avocado protein with acid or enzymes. In skin and hair products it acts as a conditioning ingredient that binds water and leaves a smooth feel.
CosIng definition: Hydrolyzed Avocado Protein is the hydrolysate of avocado protein derived by acid, enzyme or other method of hydrolysis
