Papain Enzyme Powder is referred to as papain. It is a pure natural biological enzyme product extracted by modern bioengineering technology using the milk of immature papaya (Carica papaya) fruit. It is a sulfhydryl group (-SH) endopeptidase with protease and esterase activity, broad specificity, and strong hydrolysis ability for animal and plant proteins, polypeptides, esters, amides, etc. At the same time, it also has a synthetic function, which can synthesize protein hydrolyzate into protein-like products.
It is a thiol protease with broad substrate specificity and acts on peptide bonds formed by the carboxyl groups of L-arginine, L-lysine, glycine and L-citrulline residues in proteins. This enzyme is an endopeptidase, which can cut the internal peptide chain -CO-NH- of the whole egg protein molecule to generate polypeptides with smaller molecular weight. Protease present in papaya endosperm. EC 3.4.22.2. As a plant-derived protease, the research progress of this enzyme is the fastest. This enzyme mainly functions in the form of endopeptidase. The cysteine residue is indispensable for the production of activity, so it is a kind of thioprotease, the specificity of the substrate is not too strict, the molecular weight is 23400, and the number of amino acid residues is 212.
English name: Papain
CAS No.:9001-73-4
EINECS: 232-627-2
Flash point: 29°C
Solubility: soluble in water, glycerol, insoluble in ethanol, chloroform and ether.
Chemical properties
It is a protease that can decompose proteins in acidic, neutral and alkaline environments. Its appearance is white to light yellow powder, slightly hygroscopic; papain is soluble in water and glycerol, and the aqueous solution is colorless or light yellow, sometimes milky white; almost insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, chloroform and ether. It is a sulfhydryl (-SH) endopeptidase with protease and esterase activities, broad specificity, and strong hydrolysis ability for animal and plant proteins, polypeptides, esters, amides, etc. Can hardly break down peptone.
Its most suitable pH value is 6 to 7 (generally 3 to 9.5), and it also works when it is neutral or acidic. Its isoelectric point (pI) is 8.75; the most suitable temperature for papain is 55 to 65 °C (generally 10 ~ 85 ℃), strong heat resistance, will not be completely inactivated at 90 ℃; inhibited by oxidants, activated by reducing substances.
Product Functions
1. As Papain Enzyme Powder suppliers, our product is a useful digestive enzyme that can help the stomach better break down protein and promote nutrient absorption. For example, it is helpful for people with indigestion.
2. It dissolves fat and softens the skin. In addition, it helps remove dead cells and keeps skin healthy. That‵s why this enzyme is widely used in beauty products.
3. It has anti-inflammatory effect, can soothe the stomach and reduce edema. Its anti-inflammatory properties also treat burns and cold sores.
4. It can effectively treat gastric ulcer and dissolve diphtheria film.
5. Its uses also include the treatment of swelling and abrasions, and can suppress swelling and fever after surgery.
6. It can relieve different food allergies, especially the problems caused by the indigestion of food protein.
7. The amino acids in it can help reduce irritable bowel syndrome symptoms by preventing acid reflux.
8. Patients with lower back pain, sprains and strains can incorporate it into their diet to relieve discomfort. Additionally, it reduces throat swelling and sinus pain.
9. Studies have found that it is also a good immune stimulant, helping to strengthen the immune system.
10. Since it is a proteolytic enzyme, it can also help deal with intestinal parasites. In addition, it has the function of breaking down food protein.
Application field
1. Pharmaceutical industry application
Drugs containing it can fight cancer, tumors, lymphoid leukemia, protobacteria and parasites, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc. It can reduce inflammation, promote gallbladder, relieve pain, and aid digestion. Treatment of gynecological diseases, glaucoma, bone hyperplasia, gunknife wound healing, blood type identification, insect bites, etc.
2. Food industry application
Enzymatic reactions can be used to hydrolyze the protein of food macromolecules into small molecular peptides or amino acids. It is used to hydrolyze animal and vegetable proteins, make meat tenderizer powder, hydrolyzed sheep placenta, hydrolyzed soybean, loosening agent for biscuit, noodle stabilizer, clarifying agent for beer beverage, advanced oral liquid, health food, soy sauce brewing and alcoholic starter, etc. Effectively convert the utilization of protein, greatly improve the nutritional value of food and reduce costs. Conducive to human digestion and absorption.
3. Beauty cosmetic industry application
Adding it to cosmetics containing protein and oil has unique effects such as skin whitening and rejuvenation, beauty and health care, freckle and dirt removal, promoting blood circulation, improving skin, etc., and improving product quality. It can be made into slimming tea, beauty and skin care products, etc.
