Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The animal and vegetable cells are formed mainly by proteins, which constitute more than the half of the dry weight of the cell. These components and their degradation products are constantly present in the animal and human diet and in the environment.
Corn gluten, hydrolyzate is obtained from naturally occurring substance - gluten derived from Zea mays. The substrate is then processed by enzymatic and acidic hydrolysis, similar to the hydrolysis that takes place in the gastrointestinal tract of the animals. The resulting substance composes of oligopeptides, dipeptides, tripeptides and free amino acids which are also substances naturally occurring in nature.
Therefore, it is expected that the substance itself and its degradation products will be the part of natural carbon and nitrogen cycles.
Indeed, the substance undergoes rapid biodegradation in the environment (ca. 95% in 28 days). Free amino acids can be used by microorganisms for their protein biosynthesis or further catabolized for energy production.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
