Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our peptone and protein hydrolysate products
What is peptone and how is it produced?
Peptone is a pale yellow powder obtained by hydrolyzing proteins (meat, casein, gelatin, or soy) with acids or proteases and then drying. It contains a mixture of polypeptides and amino acids formed by partial hydrolysis of proteins. Peptones provide essential nutrients including nitrogen sources, carbon sources, and growth factors for microorganisms and cell cultures.
What is the difference between bovine collagen peptone and soy peptone?
Bovine collagen peptone is derived from animal collagen through enzymatic hydrolysis, rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. It is ideal for industrial fermentation, feed, and adhesive applications. Soy peptone is a plant-based, GMO-free enzymatic hydrolysate of soy protein, excellent for microbiological culture media and cell culture where animal-free ingredients are required.
What are the main applications of peptone in biopharmaceuticals?
Peptones are widely used in biopharmaceuticals for cell culture media supplements, vaccine production, recombinant protein expression, and monoclonal antibody production. Low endotoxin peptones are essential for mammalian cell culture (CHO, HEK293) as they improve cell density and protein expression titer while maintaining cell viability.
Can peptone replace other nitrogen sources in fermentation?
Yes, peptones can effectively replace inorganic nitrogen sources and other protein hydrolysates in many fermentation processes. They provide a balanced amino acid profile, peptides, vitamins, and growth factors that promote better cell growth and product yield compared to simple nitrogen sources like ammonium salts or urea.
What is the shelf life and storage condition of peptone?
Our peptone products typically have a shelf life of 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25Β°C) in sealed containers. Powdered peptones offer better stability compared to liquid formats. Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight to maintain product quality.
Do you provide customized peptone formulations?
Yes, as a leading peptone manufacturer, we offer customized formulations including specific amino acid profiles, molecular weight distributions, and endotoxin levels. We can also provide peptones in different forms (powder, granules, liquid) and packaging sizes to meet your specific process requirements.
Complete Guide to Peptone & Protein Hydrolysate
What is Peptone?
Peptone is a water-soluble mixture of polypeptides and amino acids formed by the partial hydrolysis of proteins. It is produced by breaking down proteins from various sources including meat, casein, gelatin, soy, and yeast using acids, alkalis, or proteolytic enzymes. As a peptone manufacturer with over 16 years of experience, Xiamen Huaxuan Gelatin produces high-quality peptones that serve as essential nitrogen sources in microbiological culture media, industrial fermentation, and cell culture applications.
Peptones are rich in organic nitrogen compounds and also contain vitamins, sugars, and growth factors that support microbial growth and cell proliferation. They provide C source, N source, and growth factors for microorganisms, making them indispensable ingredients in biotechnology and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Key Benefits of Our Peptone Products:
- High protein content (>=80-90%) with balanced amino acid profiles
- Excellent solubility for easy formulation integration
- Low endotoxin options available for cell culture applications
- Animal-free and GMO-free options (soy peptone)
- Consistent batch-to-batch quality with full CoA documentation
- Cost-effective compared to ultrafiltered alternatives
- Multiple grades: Industrial, Pharmaceutical, Microbiology
Bovine Collagen Peptone
Our bovine collagen peptone is produced through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of bovine collagen. It is a highly digestible protein ingredient that provides bioactive peptides supporting various industrial applications. With protein content >=90%, this peptone is particularly suitable for feed industry, textile sizing, adhesive and coating industry, biopharmaceutical fermentation, and fertilizer production.
The unique amino acid composition of collagen peptone - rich in glycine (~25%), proline (~12%), and hydroxyproline (~10%) - makes it valuable for applications requiring specific peptide functionalities. It can be used as a nutrient source, binder, and functional additive across multiple industries.
Soy Peptone: The Animal-Free Alternative
For applications requiring non-animal ingredients, our soy peptone offers the perfect solution. Produced from GMO-free soy protein through enzymatic hydrolysis, this peptone provides comparable growth-promoting properties to animal-derived peptones. It is an excellent source of vitamins and high-quality nitrogen, widely used in culture media for cultivation of bacteria and fungi.
Soy peptone eliminates TSE/BSE concerns and is recommended for use in microbiological, tissue culture, and fermentation media where animal-free status is required. It can successfully replace animal-origin peptones in most culture media formulations.
Casein Peptone (Tryptone) for Microbiology
Casein peptone, also known as tryptone, is a pancreatic digest of casein with universal fertility. It is one of the most widely used peptones in bacterial culture media due to its balanced amino acid composition and excellent growth promotion properties. Rich in tryptophan, it is particularly valuable for microbiological diagnostic applications.
Our casein peptone meets the stringent requirements of the biopharma industry, with total nitrogen of 12.5+/-1.0% and amino nitrogen of 4.0+/-1.0%. It is used in vaccine production, diagnostic media, and industrial fermentation processes.
Meat Peptone for Industrial Fermentation
Meat peptone is a pancreatic digest of bovine meat with high growth promotion properties. It provides universal fertility for bacterial culture media and finds extensive applications in industrial fermentation, vaccine production, and diagnostic media. The balanced peptide spectrum supports versatile microbial growth.
Applications in Industrial Fermentation
Peptones are essential components in industrial fermentation processes for producing:
- Antibiotics: Penicillin, streptomycin, and other antimicrobial agents
- Enzymes: Amylase, protease, lipase, and other industrial enzymes
- Vaccines: Bacterial and viral vaccine production
- Amino Acids: Glutamic acid, lysine, and other nutritional amino acids
- Organic Acids: Citric acid, lactic acid, and other fermentation products
- Xanthan Gum: Food and industrial thickeners
Applications in Cell Culture
In cell culture applications, peptones serve as supplements to basal media, providing essential nutrients that support cell growth and recombinant protein production. Studies have shown that supplementing culture media with peptones can increase monoclonal antibody expression levels to 450 mg/L, comparable to expensive commercial feed supplements.
Our low endotoxin peptones are specifically designed for mammalian cell culture (CHO, HEK293, hybridoma), ensuring optimal cell density and protein expression while maintaining low endotoxin levels below 200 EU/g.
Applications in Feed Industry
Peptones are increasingly used in animal nutrition as highly digestible protein sources. They provide:
- High palatability for pet food and treats
- Improved digestibility for aquaculture feed
- Enhanced growth performance for poultry and livestock
- Cost-effective alternative to traditional protein sources
Applications in Fertilizer
Due to their high nitrogen content and rich amino acid composition, peptones are excellent raw materials for organic fertilizer production. They provide slow-release nitrogen, improve soil structure, and enhance plant growth as biostimulants.
