Papaya fruit powder
Papaya, scientifically known as Carica papaya, is a tropical fruit celebrated for its vibrant orange flesh, sweet flavor, and numerous health benefits. Originating in Central America, papaya is now cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Rich in vitamins A and C, as well as enzymes like papain, papaya is recognized for its digestive and immune-boosting properties. Its versatile use ranges from consumption as a fresh fruit to the production of dietary supplements, skincare products, and even meat tenderizers due to its enzymatic content.

Papain
Papain is a proteolytic enzyme that is extracted from the papaya fruit. It is also known as papaya proteinase. Proteolytic enzymes are enzymes that break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Papain specifically breaks down proteins by hydrolyzing the peptide bonds that link amino acids together. Papain is used in a variety of applications, including food production, medicine, and biotechnology. Medically, papain can be used to remove dead tissue from wounds and to treat certain skin conditions. It has also been used to treat sports injuries, such as sprains and strains. Additionally, it is a common ingredient in digestive enzyme dietary supplements to aid in the digestion of proteins.
