hydrolysate
Chemically split substance
A hydrolysate is a product of hydrolysis—the chemical breakdown of a compound by reaction with water.
The term appears most often in food science and biochemistry: protein hydrolysates are proteins broken into smaller peptides or amino acids for easier digestion or absorption.
Infant formulas often contain milk protein hydrolysate for babies with allergies.
