Vegetable Peptones are manufactured by enzymatic hydrolysis of selected vegetal raw materials rich in proteins. The enzymatic preparations traditionally used have long been based on natural active materials such as Papain (an extract from the Papaya Tree Latex).
Biotech enzymes obtained by fermentation are more and more in use nowadays. New product line is mostly manufactured using Biotech enzymes.
The selection of the vegetal raw materials is a difficult and challenging task. Besides offering physical chemical properties adequate for an efficient hydrolysis process, the raw materials must be available on the long term on a worldwide basis and at a reasonable cost.
Malt Extracts are water soluble extracts manufactured from malted barley and are used as an ingredient in the manufacturing of Dehydrated Culture Media and Fermentation Media.
