(*for a detailed explanation of each component and its significance, read the composition and functions of ingredients below) Composition Sulphydryl compounds (present in cysteine) also contribute to a reduced oxidation-reduction potential.Glutathione and cysteine (both are reducing agents) present in meat also utilize oxygen.Unsaturated fatty acids present in meat utilize oxygen for auto-oxidation, this reaction is catalyzed by haematin in the meat.The ingredients present in the medium help to maintain the anaerobic (reduced) environment. After inoculation, it is covered with a layer of sterile liquid paraffin oil to prevent the entry of oxygen in the medium. Before inoculation RCM/CMB medium is boiled to make it oxygen-free.
