Applications
Meat extract, (animal free) manufactured from vegetable/plant source, is used to complement nutritive properties of peptone. It is equivalent to animal based Meat extract. Its distribution of various peptides meets the requirements for replacing Meat extract (animal based) to yield optimum growth of microorganisms.
