Papain 650,000 U/g Pigskin Fish Collagen Hydrolase Enzyme | Introduction | Papain is a natural enzyme preparation extracted from the unripe papaya fruit using bioengineering technology. It is primarily composed of proteolytic enzymes, including papain, papaya rennet A and B, and papaya peptidase B. Papain consists of 212 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 27,000. Its active center contains cysteine, making it a sulfhydryl endoprotease with both protease and esterase activities. It exhibits strong hydrolytic action on animal and plant proteins, peptides, esters, and amides. Due to its high enzymatic activity, good thermal stability, and natural safety, papain is widely used in food, medicine, feed, daily chemicals, leather, and textile industries. |
| Characteristics | The product has good water solubility, no odor, easily soluble in water and glycerol. The aqueous solution is colorless or light yellow, sometimes milky white, almost insoluble in organic solvents. |
| Application |
Meat Tenderization: Papain can hydrolyze muscle fiber and collagen into small molecule peptide or amino acid, which can break the muscle filament and tendon filament and make the meat tender and crisp, and at the same time more easily absorbed. Beer Clarification: Papain can further hydrolyze proteins in beer to produce more peptides or amino acids, making the wine more clarified and improving the taste of beer. It is recommended to add 0.08 mg/100 mL of papain to beer in the frozen storage process for better clarification effect. Baking Industry: Papain can reduce dough tenderness through the hydrolysis of flour protein, which can make baked goods well-formed and reduce the defective rate. Meanwhile, the short peptide and amino acid from hydrolysis can improve the flavor and reduce the amount of oil and sugar through the Maillard reaction with sugar. Spice Production: Papain can be used to hydrolyze animal and plant proteins such as meat, beans, mushrooms, etc., and then used to produce chicken essence, oil, soy sauce, mushroom essence, and other condiments. Medicine and Health Care: Papain is used in the pharmaceutical and health care industry, mainly used to hydrolyze some specific animal and plant proteins into peptides or amino acids, such as the production of collagen peptide, soybean peptide, amino acid oral solution, etc. Feed Processing: It can be added to feed to improve the nutritional value of feed and reduce feeding costs. Used in the hydrolysis of meat protein scraps, hydrolysis thoroughly can reduce the viscosity of the finished product, improve the taste, plus flavor, and produce high-quality pet food. Daily Chemical Industry: Papain is used in the daily chemical industry in two main ways: It is directly added to toothpaste to improve the cleaning ability and added to facial cleanser to exfoliate. When added to skin care products, papain can easily form complexes with copper ions in melanin to reduce the formation of pigmentation. It is used to hydrolyze proteins to produce small molecule peptide extracts, which can be used to delay aging when added to advanced skin care products. |
