Applying haircare products enriched with the goodness of hydrolyzed wheat protein can keep your locks healthy and reduce breakage.

Repairs Damage: Hydrolyzed wheat protein is well-known for its strengthening properties and its ability to replenish the void of keratin with its cystine content.

If you are dealing with hair thinning or dry and damaged hair, opting for a hair treatment comprising hydrolyzed wheat protein can prove to be your saving grace.

NOTE: There are various extraction methods of Proteins including Alkaline and enzymatic extraction methods. Alkaline Extraction methods have been adopted recently . The process conditions for alkaline extraction of wheat protein are to extract at room temperature with 0.1mol/L NaOH in a solid-liquid ratio of 1:7 for 4 hours. The extracted wheat protein has a purity of 90% and an extraction rate of 55%. The process conditions for enzymatic extraction of wheat protein are temperature of 50 ℃, pH of 8, E/S of 5%, liquid-solid ratio of 3:1, and enzymatic hydrolysis time of 4 hours. The extraction rate of wheat protein is 40%, and the protein purity is 45%. The water retention, oil absorption and foaming properties of rice protein extracted by alkali method are better than those of wheat protein extracted by enzyme method, while the solubility, emulsification stability and foam stability of wheat protein extracted by enzyme method are better than those of wheat protein extracted by alkali method”. This Extraction method gives a clear liquid end product.
