PAPAIN - INDUSTRIAL ENZYME
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Papain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the latex of papaya fruit. It is widely used in various industries for its ability to break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Papain works by breaking peptide bonds in proteins, making it highly effective in various applications. Its enzymatic activity is particularly beneficial in processes requiring gentle, natural protein breakdown.
This includes tenderising meat in the food industry, exfoliating and rejuvenating skin in cosmetics, aiding digestion in pharmaceutical formulations, and facilitating research in biotechnology.
