Wheat Hydrolyzed Protein Powder is derived from hydrolyzed proteins extracted from the germ or flour-processing by-products of Triticum aestivum L. (common wheat). Its raw material (wheat) mainly comes from China (Henan, Shandong, Hebei – major wheat-producing regions), the U.S. (Midwest), Canada (Prairie Provinces), and the EU (France, Germany). Wheat grows in temperate, sunny areas with well-drained loamy soil (cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant, avoids waterlogging). Key active component is Wheat Hydrolyzed Protein (a mixture of small-molecule peptides and amino acids). Made via enzymatic/acid hydrolysis of wheat protein (e.g., wheat gluten), followed by purification & drying, it’s white to pale yellow powder. Used in skincare, dietary supplements, functional foods and cosmetics.
