SOYATONE (STD), TBL POWDER (Soya Peptone)

Soya Peptone is an enzymatic digest of soya flour. In addition to its nitrogen content, it is rich in high quality protein, carbohydrates, calcium and B vitamins. It is a non-animal product and hence soy-based peptones are used when it is necessary to eliminate all animal derived components. It is off white to yellowish colour free flowing powder having characteristic soya odour, soluble in completely soluble in distilled water. Soyatone is a good source of nutrients with a high carbohydrate content. Most organisms will grow rapidly in this peptone but some bacteria will produce high levels of acid leading to auto-sterilization unless an adequate buffering system is incorporated.

Used as growth stimulant in culture media for the mass cultivation of a variety of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi. It is ideally recommended as a growth stimulant for the cultivation of fastidious microorganisms.
