In the digestion of proteid matter by pepsin-hydrochloric acid there are three well-defined products or classes of products, viz. We look upon the first as the initial product of gastric digestion and identify it by its well known precipitation by neutralization. In the filtrate, the [proteoses] can be detected True peptones are bodies not precipitated by saturation with ammonium sulphate, and are the final products of pepsin digestion.
So, according to this paper and apparently "all physiologists" at the time, see below , there are three main products resulting from pepsin-acid digestion of protein:. Study of the individual proteoses formed in the gastric digestion of albumin, fibrin, globulin, myosin, casein and other proteids has seemingly already shown that these so-called preliminary bodies are the main products of the digestive action of pepsin.
Since the discovery of the [proteoses] and of their characteristics, frequent study of digestive mixtures has given convincing proof that in an ordinary gastric digestion of any common proteid only a comparatively small amount of peptone is formed; peptonization in the true sense of the word results only from the long-continued action of pepsin-acid, and even then complete peptonization rarely if ever occurs.
It would seem that peptone differs from proteose only in the length of its constituent peptides, with peptone containing shorter peptides due to continued proteose digestion. However, a more recent paper with more recent meaning challenged this view and claimed that both proteose and peptone consist of small peptides which differ in amino acid composition rather than length.
In their view, different composition rather than length explains their differential solubility in saturating ammonium sulfate. Rudd GV. Proteoses, Peptones, and Polypeptides. The fact that some, at least, of these peptides are precipitated by ammonium sulphate shows that they belong to the group of proteoses, which therefore are partially, if not entirely, made up of simple peptides. The differences in solubility in various solutions shown by these compounds are thus to be attributed to differences in their chemical constitution, rather than in their molecular complexity.
If this be so, these substances would be considered, not as successive stages in hydrolysis, but as products of one completed stage, differing in their solubility's. Fischer produced tripeptides and tetrapeptides of known composition and structure, which were precipitated when their aqueous solutions were saturated with ammonium sulphate. If these peptides were found in the solution obtained by the hydrolysis of a protein with pepsin they would be classed as proteoses.
I wasn't able to find any subsequent research. Nevertheless, such definitions from this period are based on macroscopic physical, rather than molecular, properties of the substance. This old terminology is not particularly informative in modern biology, and it would seem that they remain in use only as historic anachronisms. Today, both peptone and proteose are terms used almost exclusively when describing microbiological culture media which dates from the period or when making general reference to digestion products.
In fact, they are often used in conjunction ie proteose-peptone which suggests they are now synonymous. Peptide: Peptides are biologically occurring short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide amide bonds 1. Peptone: Peptones are derived from animal milk or meat digested by proteolysis.
In addition to containing small peptides, the resulting material includes fats, metals, salts, vitamins and many other biological compounds 2. Proteose: any of a group of compounds formed during proteolysis that are less complex than metaproteins but more so than peptones 3. Now, peptides are the most basic components. Like proteins, they too are polymers of amino acids, the difference being that they are just shorter than the original protein which the protease acted upon.
Peptones can be considered as derivatives of peptides i. At last, there does not seem to be a clear definition of proteose. The only definition that I found informative was from Collins, according to which proteose is also derived from proteins, which are quite more conplex than peptones. Meaning, in the order of decreasing complexity:.
Yet, the final verdict would be that there is no clear cut difference between the three terms 4. I hope this helps a bit if not much.

This bond type is called peptide bonds.
In fact, proteins are polypeptides. The five classes of peptides are milk peptides, ribosomal peptides, nonribosomal peptides, peptones, and peptide fragments. Peptides are functional molecules in the body that serve as hormones, neuropeptides, alkaloids, and, antibiotics. They also serve as structural molecules in the cell. Peptones refer to the soluble proteins formed in the early stage of protein breakdown during digestion.
The digestive enzymes of the gastric and pancreatic juice are responsible for the breakdown of proteins into peptones. Peptones are chemically synthesized by boiling a protein source with water and diluted acids. The three types of pure peptones are amphopeptone, antipeptone, and hemipeptone. Figure 2: Agar Plate with Tryptone. Peptones are an ingredient of the nutrient media used for bacteria and fungi.
Tryptone is such peptone commonly used in molecular biology. It is formed by the digestion of casein. Peptides: Compounds with two or more amino acids linked in a chain, the carboxyl group of each acid being joined to the amino group of the next by a bond of the type -OC-NH-. Peptones: Soluble proteins formed in the early stage of protein breakdown during digestion.
Peptides: There are several classes of peptides based on the way they are produced. Peptones: Proteolysis of animal milk or meat.
Peptides: Dipeptides, tripeptides, tetrapeptides, etc. Peptones: In addition to small peptides contain fats, salts, metals, vitamins, etc. Peptides: The five classes of peptides are milk peptides, ribosomal peptides, nonribosomal peptides, peptones, and peptide fragments.
