Replacement Solution for Acid Hydrolysate of Casein

July 17, 2026

Zhong Zheng

In the fields of microbial fermentation and recombinant protein expression, animal-derived Acid Hydrolysate of Casein is a classic nitrogen source. However, its high ash content, high chloride ion levels, inherent risks associated with animal-derived raw materials, and inconsistent batch performance have long hindered precise process control and compliance upgrades. To address these drawbacks, we have developed a novel yeast hydrolysate. It not only serves as an animal-source-free alternative but also delivers breakthrough performance in key functional indicators.

· High degree of hydrolysis: Produced via deep enzymatic hydrolysis to deliver a balanced and complete amino acid profile, with a hydrolysis degree of 65%. Small peptides and amino acids below 1000 Da account for over 99% of total amino acids, matching the performance of Acid Hydrolysate of Casein.

· Low ash content: Chloride ion content controlled below 2.0%, total ash below 15%, eliminating ion inhibition and residual interference effects.

· Excellent growth-promoting activity: Exhibits robust growth stimulation for a wide range of microorganisms with broad universal applicability; significantly boosts recombinant protein expression yields.

· Clean and safe formulation: Animal-free with minimal batch-to-batch variation, featuring lower costs and stable raw material supply.

  • Physicochemical Parameter Comparison

1. Physicochemical Indicators

Note: Degree of Hydrolysis = Amino Acid Nitrogen ÷ Total Nitrogen

2. Molecular Weight Distribution of Peptides

Abbreviation explanation: FAA = Free Amino Acids; TAA = Total Hydrolyzed Amino Acids
