PEPTONE TBL POWDER

Peptone is an enzymatic digest of protein used to cultivate non-fastidious microorganisms. Peptones are used in microbiological culture media to support the nutritional requirements of microorganisms. These are also used in Industrial fermentations and the production of human and veterinary vaccines. Peptones are also derived from meat digested by proteolytic digestion. In addition to peptides, the resulting spray dried material also contains fats, metals, salts, vitamins and many other biological compounds. Peptone is used in nutrient media for growing bacteria and fungi. Peptone is also used for detection of microorganisms. Peptone is produced from porcine and / or bovine tissues. The tissues are digested enzymically to create small peptides and then spray dried. Peptone is used in Diagnostics, Fermentation and Cell Culture Industries.
