Peptone Products
Bacteriological Peptone
Bacteriological Peptone is for use in preparing microbiological culture media in a laboratory setting, and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.
Soya Peptone
Soya Peptone is the soluble end product of the enzymic digestion of soyabean meal. Because of the stimulatory properties associated with soya peptone, it is ideally recommended as a growth stimulant for the cultivation of fastidious microorganisms.
Peptone Powder
Peptone Water is used for the cultivation of non-fastidious microorganisms, indole testing, and as a basal medium for carbohydrate fermentation studies. Peptone Water is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.Soy peptone is a papaic/pancreatic digest of defatted soybean meal derived from sources free of genetic modifications.
Fish Peptone
Fish peptone is non-mammalian peptone, used as a nitrogen source in microbiological culture media. It is a non-bovine origin peptone, free of TSE/BSE risk. Yellow to brown homogenous free flowing powder,having characteristic odour of protein. Freely soluble in distilled/purified water, insoluble in alcohol.
Protein Hydrolysates
Protein hydrolysates are defined as a complex mixture of oligopeptides, peptides, and free amino acids that are produced by partial or extensive hydrolysis, while biopeptides or bioactive peptides are defined as peptides that possess beneficial pharmacological properties (Clare & Swaisgood, 2000).
Yeast Extract
Yeast extract is a food flavoring made from the same yeast used to make bread and beer. It's also added to some foods like soy sauce and cheese for a savory flavor. The taste they create is sometimes referred to as “umami.” Yeast extract is also found in canned soups and stews, frozen dinners, and salty snacks.
Casein Peptone
Casein Peptone is enzymic digest of casein. It is manufactured under controlled conditions. Casein being a rich source of amino nitrogen, the hydrolysed product casein peptone obtained also contains peptides, aminoacids etc. which acts as nitrogen source for microorganisms when used in media.
Peptone, a protein decomposition product, is made by incomplete hydrolysis process of the protein originated from beef, casein, milk powder, gelatin, soy protein, silk protein, fibrin, etc. The commercially available products are mainly light yellow to brown yellow powder.
