Introduction
Papain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the papaya fruit. It has various applications across several industries due to its ability to hydrolyze proteins.
Function
Papain is a versatile proteolytic enzyme used across food processing, textile, leather, and cosmetic manufacturing industries.
Papain is applied for hydrolyzing animal and plant proteins, making tenderizer, and hydrolyzing placenta.
Papain can be included in protein and grease cosmetic products to whiten and smooth skin, and lighten freckles.
Papain is used in soap, washing agents, detergents, and hand soap.
Papain can eliminate dirt, grease, bacteria, and is safe to use.
Application
- Enzyme Ingredient for Manufacturing: Papain is used as a base enzyme ingredient in manufacturing and formulation. Available in multiple activity grades for precise formulation requirements including multi-enzyme blends, protein hydrolysate production, and processing aid applications.
- Food Industry: By using enzymatic reactions, papain can hydrolyze food macromolecules into small molecular peptides or amino acids, effectively transforming protein and improving food nutrition value.
- Beauty and Cosmetics Industry: Adding papain to cosmetics containing protein, oils, and fats can whiten skin, beautify, provide remove spots, improve metabolism, and enhance skin.
- Daily Cosmetic Products: Papain can be used in fancy soap, soap, detergent, washing powder, and more to remove stains efficiently, disinfect, and sterilize.
