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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

EC number: 309-353-8 | CAS number: 100209-45-8 Substance obtained by acidic, alkaline, or enzymatic hydrolysis of mixed vegetables composed primarily of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. It may contain impurities consisting chiefly of carbohydrates and lipids along with smaller quantities of miscellaneous organic substances of biological origin.

Additional information
The Animal and Vegetable cells are formed mainly by proteins, which constitute more than the half of the dry weight of the cell. Proteins determine the shape and structure of the cell and also function as an instrument of molecular recognition and of catalysis (ALBERTS, 1986).
Proteins have many different biological functions. The widest group of proteins are the enzymes whose function is about catalysing the biochemical processes that take place in the living organisms. Moreover, there are proteins of reservation of amino acids such as plant nutrients; transport proteins of specific molecules; proteins that work as essential elements of the motile and contractile systems; protective proteins that are present in the blood of the vertebrates such as antibodies; proteins that function as hormones and, finally, structural proteins (LEHNINGER, 1983).
The proteins that are found in food and eaten by human beings and mammals are normally degraded metabolically by means of enzymatic processes to give rise to more simple metabolites (peptides and amino acids) that are used by the live cells for the biosynthesis of new specific proteins.
The hydrolysed proteins coming from the enzymatic hydrolysis of the animal tissues. Therefore, they do not cause any danger to human beings and mammals in general. Proteins appear in all biochemical processes that take place in every live cell being, this way, essential compounds for human life.
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.
