1.When we look at the first part i.e. components or the ingredients used for making the homemade media…
While comparing with the Standard Corn Meal Media
Dextrose and sucrose are a source of sugars,
Maize powder a source of carbohydrates,
Yeast extract a source of proteins, vitamins and minerals and
Agar as a solidifying agent.
Now when we look to the ingredients in our Tomato Rava Homemade Media,
Table sugar is a source of sugar as in cornmeal media
Rava is a source of carbohydrates (73g in 100g rava)
Tomato puree is a source of proteins, vitamins and minerals
Rava here in this media acts as a solidifying or a binding agent as well.
So when we look at the components or the ingredients used…they are just perfect when compared with each other!
