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 the latex of unripe papaya fruit using bioengineering technology. It possesses both protease and esterase activities and is widely used across food, pharmaceutical, textile, cosmetic, and feed industries.
❓
What enzyme activity levels are available for your papain products?
We offer papain in both powder and liquid forms. Powder activity ranges from 50,000 u/g to 3,000,000 u/g (up to 3,500,000+ u/g with our proprietary technology). Liquid form ranges from 50,000 u/ml to 800,000 u/ml. We can also provide activity measurements in TU/mg, USP unit/mg, IU/mg, and MU/mg upon request.
❓
What are the optimal conditions for using papain?
Papain works effectively within a pH range of 3.5–9 (optimum pH: 5–7) and a temperature range of 20–80°C (optimum temperature: 55–60°C). The recommended dosage is 2–3‰, though the optimal amount should be determined based on specific production conditions.
❓
Is papain safe for use in food and health products?
Yes. As a natural enzyme preparation, papain is essentially a protein. Consuming food products containing papain is as safe and beneficial to human health as eating protein-rich foods. Our products comply with international food safety standards and are certified by FCC, FDA, HALAL, KOSHER, and other recognized bodies.
❓
How should papain be stored to maintain its enzyme activity?
Papain should be stored at temperatures between 0–25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Refrigeration is recommended to best preserve enzyme activity. The shelf life is 1 year when properly stored. Note that extended storage or high temperature/humidity conditions may reduce enzyme activity, in which case the dosage should be adjusted accordingly.
❓
What packaging options and delivery methods are available?
Papain is available in 1kg bags (double plastic + aluminum foil inside, box outside) as well as 10kg, 25kg, or larger drum/carton packaging. For small orders (1–25kg), we ship via EMS, DHL, UPS, or FedEx with delivery in 3–7 days. For larger orders, air freight (3–7 days) or sea freight (10–35 days) is available. Custom specifications and packaging can be arranged upon request.
