Expert Verdict

CIR reviewed hydrolyzed corn protein as safe; sulfurization adds disulfide bonds for hair substantivity โ€” verify residual sulfur species; corn allergen risk lower than wheat but not zero; MW of hydrolysate is critical โ€” keep above 3.5 kDa to minimize sensitization risk (lessons from hydrolyzed wheat protein incidents)
