The non-nutritional performance characteristics of peptones made from rendered protein.
J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol
January 2010
Article Synopsis
- Economic factors drive the need for low-cost feedstocks like animal proteins for producing peptones used in fermentation.
- Research shows that peptones created from animal sources via enzymatic or alkaline hydrolysis have different performance traits beyond just their chemical composition.
- While some experimental peptones show potential as budget-friendly alternatives to commercial options, they vary in properties like hygroscopicity, haze production, foaming ability, and coloration, and none match commercial peptones across the board.
Crude glycerol is the primary byproduct of the biodiesel industry. Producing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) through fermentation of the alga Schizochytrium limacinum on crude glycerol provides a unique opportunity to utilize a large quantity of this byproduct. The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of impurities contained in the crude glycerol on DHA production and algal biomass composition.
