CAS 91079-40-2

:

Peptones, casein

Description:
Peptones, casein, identified by the CAS number 91079-40-2, are a group of water-soluble proteins derived from casein, which is the main protein found in milk. These substances are produced through the hydrolysis of casein, typically via enzymatic or acid treatment, resulting in smaller peptide fragments. Peptones are characterized by their ability to serve as a rich source of nitrogen and amino acids, making them valuable in microbiological culture media for the growth of bacteria and fungi. They are generally pale yellow to brown powders that are soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol. Peptones are known for their excellent nutritional properties, supporting the growth of various microorganisms due to their balanced amino acid profile. Additionally, they are utilized in the food industry and in the formulation of dietary supplements. Their role in biochemistry and microbiology is significant, as they provide essential nutrients for cellular metabolism and growth.
