Crossword-Solution: PEPTONE
Dictionary
| Word | Word Type | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Peptone | n. | The soluble and diffusible substance or substances into which albuminous portions of the food are transformed by the action of the gastric and pancreatic juices. Peptones are also formed from albuminous matter by the action of boiling water and boiling dilute acids. |
| Peptone | n. | Collectively, in a broader sense, all the products resulting from the solution of albuminous matter in either gastric or pancreatic juice. In this case, however, intermediate products (albumose bodies), such as antialbumose, hemialbumose, etc., are mixed with the true peptones. Also termed albuminose. |

Sentences with PEPTONE (5)
Perhaps the nearest analogy may be found in such plants as Drosera and Dionæa; for here animal matter is digested and converted into peptone not within a stomach, but on the surfaces of the leaves.
But when moistened with saliva, or replaced by bits of roast-meat or gelatine, or even cartilage, which supply some soluble peptone-matter to initiate the process, these substances are promptly acted upon, and dissolved or digested; whence it is inferred that the analogy with the stomach holds good throughout, and that a ferment similar to pepsin is poured out under the stimulus of some soluble animal matter.
The destruction of the ferment during the process of digestion, or its absorption after the albumen had been converted into a peptone, will also account for only one out of the three latter sets of experiments having been successful.
This is because the pancreatic ferment (trypsin) has digested the casein into “peptone,” which does not curdle.
The proteids of flesh, like those of vegetables, are converted into peptone by the digestive juices--taking the form of a perfectly diffusible liquid--otherwise they could not be absorbed and utilised by the body.
