Papain Powder Papaya Extract For Meat Tenderizer, Fish Processing, Proteins Processing
Product Description
Papain Powder Papaya Extract for Meat Tenderizer, Fish Processing, Proteins Processing
Our Papain is a pure natural, healthy, safe, and highly effective mixed biological enzyme preparation refined using biotechnology from the latex collected from unripe fruits of cultivated papaya (Carica papaya). It contains papain, chymopapain, papaya peptidase, etc., with papain being the main component. Characterized by high enzymatic activity and good thermal stability, papain is widely used in the food industry for meat processing, fish processing, deep processing of plant proteins, and other fields.
💡 Mechanism of Action
The main component of papain is a sulfhydryl (-SH) group-containing endopeptidase. Its active center is the sulfhydryl group (---SH), which primarily catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins, breaking them down into easily absorbable small peptides or amino acids.
⚙️ Product Applications
- Used in deep processing industries for animal and plant proteins, such as protein peptides, flavor peptides, and condiments.
- Applicable in organic fertilizer processing industries, such as fish protein organic fertilizer and plant protein organic fertilizer.
- Used in food processing industries for meat tenderization, squid skin removal, tripe swelling, etc.

Safety
Enzyme preparations are proteins, which may induce sensitization and cause allergic type reactions in sensitized individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes or nasal mucosa, so any direct contiguity with human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, consult a doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary source of this Papain Powder?
It is refined using advanced biotechnology from the latex collected from the unripe fruits of cultivated papaya (Carica papaya).
How does Papain tenderize meat?
Papain contains a sulfhydryl (-SH) group-containing endopeptidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins, breaking them down into easily absorbable small peptides or amino acids.
What is the recommended dosage for protein peptides?
For the protein peptide industry, the recommended dosage is typically 2-5 kg per ton of raw material. However, exact dosages should be verified by lab testing.
How should the product be stored to preserve its activity?
It should be kept sealed in a dry and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight. Its standard shelf life under these conditions is 12 months.
How do you inactivate the Papain enzyme?
The enzyme can be completely inactivated by exposing it to a temperature of 90°C for 20 minutes.
Are there any safety precautions to follow when handling this powder?
Yes. Because enzyme preparations are proteins, prolonged contact may cause minor irritation to skin, eyes, or nasal mucosa. Direct contact with the body should be minimized, and safety gear is recommended.
