Function:
Papain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes derived from the juice of the unripe fruit of the tropical plant Caroica papaya, commonly known as papaya. Papain is a protein-cleaving enzyme derived from papaya and a few other plants. These enzymes are complex molecules produced in living organisms to catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions within cells. A number of digestive enzyme supplements are available.
As a purely natural, toxin-free vegetable protease, papain is widely used in following industries:
1. Pharmaceuticals: help ease swelling, alleviate inflammation, relieve pain, improve immunity, promote digestion and diminish intestinal parasite.
2. Cosmetics and daily chemicals: soap, facial cleanser, body wash,shampoo,etc, with papain ingredient, help whitening the skin, remove cuticle, making the skin soft and elastic, tender and full of vigor, Used in washing powder, hand wash, etc, helps care hands.
3. Food Industry: Papain can hydrolyze the animal and plant protein, as well as placenta and bean, thus , the papain can be made into softener for biscuits, tenderizer for meat and purifying agent for beer and wine ferment etc. It is widely used in wine brewing industry, soy making and beverage manufacturing industry.
4. Feed industry:Papain can be widely used as additives in the forages for such animals as pigs, oxen, sheep, chicks, ducks, geese, fish, shrimps, eels and cows to increase the availability and inversion of protein, decreasing gthe cost for forages and exploiting sources of protein.
5. Leather industry: The papain can be made into depilatory for tanning the leathers, making the products smooth and exquisite with good texture.
Storage and packaging: store in sealed container under 4 celsius degree, 25kg/drum.
