Peptone from Casein

Principles and uses
Casein Peptone is a pancreatic digest of casein. Pancreatic digestion produces a balanced mixture of amino acids, including essential amino acids, in optimal ration and low molecular peptides. In many cases, this makes for a more nutritious hydrolysate, especially for those organisms that prefer peptides to amino acids. It can be used in the production of toxins, vaccines, enzymes, in fermentation applications and microbiological culture media, especially in blood-containing media.
