Aproteose is any of variouswater-solublecompounds that are produced during in-vitro or in-vivohydrolytic breakdown ofproteins a little before producingamino acids. It forms after breaking down of polypeptides byproteases such as gastricpepsin.[1] In addition to proteoses,peptones are also formed at this stage. The difference between peptones and proteoses is that proteoses are precipitated from solution by half saturation withammonium sulfate, while peptones don't react even with fully saturated ammonium sulfate.
