Corn protein
Corn protein is a processed corn-derived protein ingredient used in formulated foods to contribute protein, body, or texture.
About Corn protein
Corn protein is a protein-containing ingredient derived from corn. The term identifies a broad corn-derived category, not a particular protein fraction, extraction method, or degree of purification; it should not be taken to mean whole corn or a single specified corn protein.
It may be used in formulated foods as a protein ingredient or to contribute body and texture. It is encountered in processed forms, potentially as a powder, but the record does not state its form, flavour, colour, or functional properties.
