Papain Powder

What is Papain Powder?

Papain is a protein hydrolyzing enzyme. Papain is a kind of low-specific protein hydrolyzing enzyme contained in papaya, which widely exists in the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of papaya, of which the content is very rich in immature milk. The active center of papain contains cysteine, which belongs to mercapto protease, it has the features of high enzyme activity, good thermal stability, natural hygiene, etc. Therefore, it is widely used in food, medicine, feed, daily chemical, and textile industries.

Green Spring Technology supplies papain is a purely natural, healthy, safe and efficient bio-enzyme preparation.It is obtained by cutting the emulsion from the immature fruits of planted papaya through the use of biotechnology extraction, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, freeze-drying, and refining.

Green Spring Technology is a leading biotechnology company in China, which was founded in 2000. It has obtained many certifications such as Halal, Kosher, COSMOS, BRC, IFS, FDA, ISO9001, ISO22000, and so on. Green Spring has a systematic quality management system and organizes production in strict accordance with ISO, HACCP, and other quality standards. Our products comply with EU EC396, EU 2023/915, and the highest solvent residue standards. It has established a perfect traceability system, all products can be traced.

Benefits:

Cleansing Skin  

Papain is a protein hydrolyzing enzyme, which acts on human skin to promote the decomposition and shedding of aged keratin, especially on the follicle keratin plugs have a good dissolving and removal effect. This will help to deep clean, unclog pores and reduce the occurrence of acne.

Repairing the Skin Barrier

When papain acts on the skin, it can inhibit intracellular signaling of TGF receptors such as Smad3, reduce keratinocyte proliferation, and increase keratin expression. It modulates keratin-forming cell calcium receptors and increases intracellular calcium ions, which in turn modulates keratin formation. Hydrolysate forms a film of amino acid derivatives on the surface of the skin, keeping the skin moisturized and smooth.

Improve Skin Metabolism

Papain dissolves and removes aging skin keratin while also stimulating epidermal cell regeneration, promoting fibroblast proliferation, and increasing elastin and collagen synthesis, so it has good anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, firming, and rejuvenation effects.

Whitening

Papain hydrolyzes dark brown casein in the skin to light and colorless tyrosine, blocking the catalytic effect of tyrosine. Papain is easy to form a complex with copper ions in melanin that forms pigmentation, reducing melanin formation and removing melanin from pigmentation. And papain enzyme hydrolysis of the three titanium substances can directly inhibit the formation of melanin complex activity, eliminating the role of free radicals, reducing the phenomenon of dark skin caused by sun exposure, to achieve the effect of whitening and spot removal.

Promotes Wound Healing

Heals wounds and aids in neoplastic action Papain is a low-specificity consisting of 211 amino acid residues. It is a mercapto protease that breaks down a wide range of proteins. Papain activates fibrinolysinogen into fibrinolytic enzymes. It acts only on necrotic tissues, dissolves fibrin, blood clots, and necrotic material in the lesion, cleanses the wound, helps to grow newborn granulation, promotes the drainage of pus and fluid, and accelerates wound healing.

Applications:

In Cosmetics:

As a natural plant raw material, papain powder can be added to cosmetics containing protein and oil. It has a unique whitening and softening of the skin, beauty and health care, removes spots and dirt, promotes blood circulation, improves skin and other efficacy, and improves the grade of the product. Papain can also be made into weight loss tea, beauty care products, and so on.

In the Food Field:

Papain powder has a wide range of applications in the baking industry. It can reduce the wet gluten of flour/dough, improve its plasticity and physicochemical properties, and hydrolyze protein macromolecules into short peptides and amino acids. Papain can make bread fluffier and more flavorful, with an oily, glossy feel and a light aroma. It can also reduce or replace the trial of sodium metabisulfite, and reduce the residue of sulfur dioxide and other harmful substances so that the product is more green and healthy, safe and non-toxic. Papain can correct the effect of chemical additives on the flavor of cookies and effectively improve the quality of cookies.

Papain can also be used in meat processing, it can hydrolyze animal and plant protein macromolecules into small molecule peptides or amino acids that can be easily absorbed. Papain powder has been widely used in chicken, duck, pig, cattle, seafood, blood products, soybeans, peanuts, and other animal and plant proteolytic enzymes, used in the production of peptones, meat flavors and fragrances, plant flavors, and fragrances.
