IQI Trusted Petfood Ingredients analyses the functionality of hydrolysed proteins

IQI Trusted Petfood Ingredients presents an analysis detailing the role of hydrolysed proteins as functional ingredients in formulations designed to improve digestive tolerance and reduce the risk of adverse reactions in pets. The report explains how enzymatic hydrolysis breaks down proteins into smaller peptides, reducing their recognition by the immune system and facilitating their digestion.

The document also contextualises why these ingredients fit into IQI’s working philosophy, which focuses on traceability, standardised quality and the selection of raw materials with proven functionality. The company highlights that hydrolysed proteins enable manufacturers to develop more tolerable and uniform diets, especially in hypoallergenic applications or in products aimed at digestive well-being.
