Product Description

Product Description

Papain 1

Papain is a natural enzyme product extracted from unripe papaya fruit using bioengineering technology. It possesses both protease and esterase activities with broad substrate specificity, offering strong hydrolysis capabilities towards animal and plant proteins, polypeptides, esters, and amides. It also exhibits synthetic activity, enabling the recombination of protein hydrolysates into protein-based substances. This property can be used to improve the nutritional value and functional properties of animal and plant proteins.

As a natural enzyme preparation, papain is a protein. Consuming food products containing this enzyme is as safe and beneficial to human health as eating protein-rich foods.

Functions & Applications

🍖 Food Industry
Papain widely used for the hydrolysis of animal and plant proteins from chicken, pork, beef, seafood, blood products, soybeans, peanuts, etc. It serves as a meat tenderizer, wine clarifier, biscuit loosening agent, noodle stabilizer, health food ingredient, as well as for soy sauce brewing and alcohol fermentation. It improves food nutritional value while reducing production costs.
🍪 Biscuit Industry
Reduces the wet gluten strength of dough, improves dough plasticity and physical/chemical properties, corrects flavor impacts from chemical additives, and effectively enhances biscuit quality.
💊 Pharmaceutical Industry
Medicines containing papain, such as papaya throat lozenges, enteric-coated tablets/capsules, and buccal tablets, provide anti-inflammatory, cholagogic, analgesic, digestive, and immune-boosting effects.
🧵 Textile & Leather Industry
Used for wool shrinkage control and to make leather fine and glossy.
🐄 Feed Industry
Improves feed utilization rate, reduces feed costs, stimulates appetite, and promotes animal growth.
🧴 Daily Chemical Industry
Used in soaps, detergents, hand sanitizers, etc., with strong decontamination and disinfection effects. It can also be added to oral care products.
✨ Cosmetics Industry
Papain acts on aged cuticles of human skin to promote decomposition and shedding. It inhibits melanin production and provides whitening and anti-freckle effects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is papain and where does it come from?
Papain is a natural proteolytic enzyme extracted from unripe papaya (Carica papaya) fruit using bioengineering technology. It has both protease and esterase activities and can hydrolyze animal and plant proteins, polypeptides, esters, and amides.
What enzyme activity levels do you offer for papain?
We offer papain in powder form with activity ranging from 50,000 u/g to 3,000,000 u/g, and in liquid form from 50,000 u/ml to 800,000 u/ml. Custom activity levels expressed in TU/mg, USP unit/mg, IU/mg, or MU/mg are also available upon request.
Is papain safe for use in food and pharmaceutical products?
Yes. Papain is a natural protein enzyme. Our papain products comply with international food safety standards and are certified by FCC, FDA, HALAL, and KOSHER, making them suitable for use in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and health supplement applications.
What are the recommended storage conditions for papain?
Papain should be stored at 0–25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Refrigeration is recommended to best preserve enzyme activity. If stored under high temperature or humidity conditions, it is advisable to increase the dosage during use to compensate for potential activity loss.
What is the optimal pH and temperature for papain activity?
Papain is effective across a pH range of 3.5–9, with an optimum pH of 5–7. The effective temperature range is 20–80°C, with an optimum working temperature of 55–60°C.
