Peptone from ram horn was compared with a casein and other peptones for bacterial growth. First, horns were ground and 35 g of horn flour was hydrolyzed chemically (acid hydrolysis). As a result of this process, 30 g of the 35 g horn flour (85.7%) could be hydrolyzed. Hydrolyzed material was completed to 400 ml with deionized water, and this resulting solution was termed ram horn hydrolysate (RHH). The contents of protein, nitrogen, ash, some minerals, total sugars, total lipids and amino acids of RHH were determined. It was found that it has both organic and inorganic materials sufficient for …
