Papain is a natural proteolytic enzyme extracted from the latex of the papaya fruit (Carica papaya). As a plant-based enzyme, Papain has strong protein hydrolysis activity and is widely used in food processing, dietary supplements, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology applications. Papain is valued for its high enzymatic activity, natural origin, and excellent processing performance. It is commonly available in powder form and can be easily incorporated into various formulations. Due to its ability to break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, Papain is an important functional ingredient for enzyme-based products.
