Reliable Quality and Extended Shelf LifeProduced under strict quality control in India, Soya Peptone is packaged in HDPE drumsa polybag lining further guards against moisture and contamination. Proper storage ensures its 24-month shelf life and preserves its light yellow, free-flowing, lump-free texture. This guarantees researchers and manufacturers a consistent supply with every batch.
FAQs of Soya Peptone:
Q: How should Soya Peptone be stored to maintain its quality and longevity?
A: Soya Peptone should be stored in a cool, dry environment inside a tightly closed container, preferably its original polybag-lined HDPE drum. Proper storage ensures the powder remains free-flowing and prevents moisture absorption, maintaining its effectiveness and shelf life of 24 months.
Q: What is the primary application of Soya Peptone in laboratory and industrial settings?
A: Soya Peptone is chiefly used as a nutrient source for propagating microorganisms in culture media. It is widely applied in microbiological media preparation, fermentation processes, biotechnological research, and antibiotic production due to its rich protein content and optimal solubility.
Q: When is Soya Peptone most beneficial during the microbial culturing process?
A: Soya Peptone is most beneficial during the stages of microbial propagation, where robust cell growth is vital. Its rich supply of peptides and amino acids enhances the growth of bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes, supporting optimal yield throughout fermentation and culture processes.
Q: Where is Soya Peptone manufactured and what assures its safety?
A: This Soya Peptone is manufactured in India and conforms to stringent pharmacopeial standards. It undergoes rigorous testing for heavy metals, microbial limits, and other quality parameters, ensuring safety and reliability for laboratory and industrial use.
Q: What is the process behind producing Soya Peptone, and what makes it highly soluble?
A: Soya Peptone is produced by enzymatically digesting defatted soybean meal using proteases. This process breaks down complex proteins into soluble peptides and amino acids, resulting in a homogeneous powder that dissolves completely in water, facilitating efficient nutrient delivery in media.
Q: How does the use of Soya Peptone benefit fermentation and biotechnology workflows?
A: In fermentation and biotechnology applications, Soya Peptone offers easily assimilable nitrogen, peptides, and amino acids, accelerating microbial growth and productivity. Its stable composition and low contaminant profile boost batch consistency, contributing to higher yields in antibiotic and bio-product manufacturing.
Q: Is Soya Peptone suitable for individuals with soy allergies, and what allergen advice is provided?
A: Soya Peptone contains soy and is not suitable for individuals with soy allergies. Allergen information is clearly provided to ensure safe handling and prevent exposure to sensitive users.
