B.MEAT EXTRACT PASTE (Bovine)

B. Meat Extract Paste (Bovine) is intended to replace aqueous infusion of meat in microbiological culture media. It is frequently used at a concentration of 0.3 to 1.0% in culture media, although concentrations may vary depending on the nutritional requirements for the medium formulation. It may be relied upon for biochemical studies, particularly fermentation reactions, because of its independence from fermentable substances that would interfere with the accuracy of such determinations. B. Meat Extract Paste (Bovine) is an infusion of beef and provides an undefined source of nutrients. Beef Extract products are not exposed to the harsh treatment used for protein hydrolysis, so they can provide some of the nutrients lost during peptone manufacture. Beef Extract Powder is mixtures of peptides and amino acids, nucleotide fractions, organic acids, minerals and some vitamins. The function of B. Meat Extract Paste (Bovine) products can be described as complementing the nutritive properties of peptone by contributing minerals, phosphates, energy sources and those essential factors missing from peptone.
