Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (E-HVP) is a flavor-enhancing ingredient produced by breaking down plant-derived proteins (such as soy, corn, or wheat gluten) into smaller peptides and amino acids using enzymatic hydrolysis. Unlike acid-hydrolyzed vegetable protein (acid-HVP), which involves harsh chemical treatment, enzymatic hydrolysis uses food-grade proteolytic enzymes under controlled conditions. This method is considered milder and results in a product with cleaner flavor, lower salt content, and reduced formation of undesirable by-products such as 3-MCPD (a potential contaminant).
E-HVP is widely used in the food industry to impart savory, umami, and meaty notes in products like soups, sauces, seasonings, snacks, plant-based meats, and ready-to-eat meals. Because it enhances taste naturally and provides a balanced amino acid profile, it is often viewed as a clean-label alternative to monosodium glutamate (MSG) and chemically hydrolyzed proteins. Additionally, enzymatic hydrolysis allows for greater customization of flavor profiles, depending on the enzyme type and substrate used. With the growing demand for healthier, natural, and plant-based flavor solutions, enzymatically hydrolyzed vegetable protein is playing an increasingly important role in modern food formulation.
In 2024, global enzymatically hydrolyzed vegetable protein production reached approximately 236.14 k tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 1063 per ton.
The enzymatically hydrolyzed vegetable protein (eHVP) market is experiencing strong momentum as food and beverage manufacturers increasingly seek clean-label, plant-based, and functional ingredients. Unlike traditional acid-hydrolyzed proteins, the enzymatic process yields products with milder flavors, improved solubility, and better nutritional quality, aligning well with consumer demand for healthier and more natural options. This shift reflects a broader industry trend toward ingredient transparency and reformulation of products to appeal to health-conscious buyers.
Soy continues to dominate as the most widely used source, but alternative raw materials such as peas are rapidly gaining ground thanks to their hypoallergenic qualities and suitability for diverse applications. This diversification of protein sources mirrors the rising consumer preference for allergen-free and sustainable plant proteins. At the same time, the role of eHVP is expanding beyond traditional flavor enhancement, with increasing adoption in nutrition products, supplements, and even in personal care, highlighting its multifunctional potential across industries.
Geographically, developed regions such as North America and Europe remain strongholds due to their established food processing industries and consumer emphasis on natural, sustainable products. However, Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing market, fueled by urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and a rapidly evolving food sector. Together, these trends indicate that eHVP is not just a substitute for traditional flavor enhancers but a key driver in the ongoing shift toward healthier, plant-based, and versatile ingredients worldwide.
