The raw materials and manufacturing conditions for protein hydrolysis are controlled to<br />

produce consistent peptone products. Ingredients used for peptone manufacture,<br />

including the protein, agent of hydrolysis, and any buffering agents used, are selected<br />

based on specific purity and quality standards. The conditions of the hydrolysis, such as<br />

the amount of enzyme used, the time for digestion, and the pH and temperature at which<br />

hydrolysis is conducted, determine the degree of hydrolysis and the quality of the<br />

hydrolysate. Therefore, these conditions must be carefully controlled thoughout the<br />

manufacturing process. Purification, concentration and drying steps are carefully<br />

regulated due to their bearing on the characteristics of a peptone. Finally, each batch of<br />

protein hydrolysate is tested for an array of physical, chemical, analytical and growth<br />

support tests to ensure product quality and lot-to-lot consistency.<br />
