Hemipeptone \Hem`i*pep"tone\, n. [Hemi- + peptone.] (Physiol.
Chem.)
A product of the gastric and pancreatic digestion of
albuminous matter.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Unlike antipeptone it is convertible into leucin and
tyrosin, by the continued action of pancreatic juice.
See {Peptone}. It is also formed from hemialbumose and
albumin by the action of boiling dilute sulphuric acid.
