Papain, a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the latex of papaya fruit, is widely used for its ability to break down proteins. Its applications span food processing, pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. In the food industry, papain is used as a meat tenderizer, in brewing, and to improve the texture of protein-rich foods. In pharmaceuticals, it is incorporated into digestive enzyme formulations, wound care products, and anti-inflammatory supplements. Its unique enzymatic properties and natural origin have made it increasingly attractive for health-conscious consumers and manufacturers seeking functional ingredients.
