The product is a light yellow powder refined by the fresh bovine meat or bone hydrolyzed with acid or enzyme then dried, and has a special fragrant smell of meat. Protein is decomposed by acid, alkali or protease to form peptone which is rich in organonitrogen compounds, vitamins and sugars.The product is mixed peptone by beef and ox bone. Peptone is a complex mixture of peptides and amino acids. These components are obtained through the partial hydrolysis, or enzymatic breakdown, of larger proteins. This process yields smaller molecules that are more readily available for microorganisms and cells than intact proteins.This nutritional support is crucial for research, diagnostic testing, and industrial processes like fermentation.

For instance, peptone is often incorporated into media for culturing common laboratory strains such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella. It is widely used in the fermentation industry of antibiotic, vitamin, amino acid, organic acid and enzyme preparation etc., and applied in drug sensitivity detection medium and culture of salt-tolerant microorganisms.
