Casein CC Peptone is a pancreatic digest of casein enriched with enzymatic digest of animal tissue. Pancreatic digestion produces a balanced mixture of amino acids, including essential amino acids, in optimal ratio and low molecular weight peptides. Enzymatic digestion produces amino acids, including essential amino acids and peptides. The enzymes normally used are trypsin and pepsin. It is a superior source of nutrients widely used in pharmaceutical and veterinary industries.
