This product is a mixture of peptone, amino acid and protein obtained by the hydrolysis of blood fiber and other proteins by pepsin or other enzymes. Light yellow to brown powder or granules, meaty, but not rancid, soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, chloroform and ether.
It's an organic compound. Peptone is the meat, casein or gelatin with acid or protease hydrolysis after the dry appearance of light yellow powder, with a special flavor of meat. Peptone can also be formed after protein is decomposed by acid, alkali or protease. One of the first products of digestion of proteins in the stomach is peptone. Peptone is a rich source of organic nitrogen, as well as some vitamins and sugars. It can be used as the main raw material of microbial culture medium. It is widely used in the fields of antibiotics, pharmaceutical industry, fermentation industry, biochemical products and microbiological scientific research. It can be used to treat digestive tract diseases. Different organisms need specific amino acids and polypeptides, so there are various peptones. In general, the proteins used for peptone production include animal proteins (casein, meat), plant proteins (beans), and microbial proteins (yeast). It can provide C source, N source, growth factor and other nutrients for microorganisms.
