Papain
Aids in protein digestion and used in tenderizing meat.
Overview
Papain is the proteolytic enzyme, which is obtained from the latex of the fruit, Carica papaya. This degrades tough protein fibers and hence, is a natural meat tenderizer that improves the texture as well as flavor.
In food processing, it is a component that clarifies beer while keeping it stable against chill haze. It goes so far as digestive supplements, promoting protein digestion and nutrient absorption with gut health.
Because of its natural source and multi-functionality, It is one preferred choice for clean-label formulation, as it offers a viable and environment-friendly solution in food texture improvement and nutrition enhancement.
