Compared to other proteases, bulk papain enzyme is very stable. The general enzyme is more "delicate", for the working environment requirements are high, the acidity is not suitable to lose the ability to work, the temperature is not suitable to strike. Papain, on the other hand, is more "robust" and works diligently at acidic, alkaline and even high temperatures, so it is naturally popular. With thousands of years of history of use, and from a "natural" product like papaya, it is natural to believe that it is "friendly" to humans. Papain is almost the most widely used protease in the food industry around the world, especially in China.
● Bulk Papain Enzyme Is Common "meat tenderizers" In The Market?
The most widely used meat tenderizer is papain, which also contains starch and salt. Papain is responsible for breaking down the proteins in the meat, while starch acts like the "thickening" in traditional cooking. If you cut open an unripe papaya, an emuls ion will flow. The indigenous people of South America discovered thousands of years ago that this emulsion or extract of emulsion could "tenderize" meat that was difficult to cook. In this sense, the papain-based "meat tenderizer" has been used for thousands of years. In recent times, the active ingredient was isolated and identified as papain.
● Bulk Papain Enzyme Is More Than Just "Meat Tenderization"?
Papain is used for more than just "tenderizing meat". Because of its ability to break down proteins, it is believed to has a wide range of applications in medicine. For example, cleaning necrotic tissue from wounds, breaking down toxins from mosquito and bee bites, etc. Baidu encyclopedia lists more roles, "drugs containing papain, can play anti-cancer, tumor, lymphatic leukemia, protozoa and parasites, tuberculosis bacillus, etc., Bulk papain enzyme can be anti-inflammatory, cholagogic, pain relief, digestive aid. Treatment of gynecological diseases, glaucoma, osteophytes, gun and knife wound healing, blood type identification, insect bites, etc." In fact, the principle of papaya protease meat tenderizer is that through processing, the mouth of the immature papaya fruit is cut and its latex is collected, then through a series of processing to obtain papaya protease.
● What Are The Applications of Bulk Papain Enzyme In Food?
When an item is questioned, its role is more extensive, and the answer has actually emerged. The advantages of meat tenderizing powder are not only in the tenderizing effect, but also in the safety, non-toxicity and hygiene. It actually brings forward the hydrolysis of proteins in the human body, increasing the protein conversion rate and utilization rate, and increasing the nutritional value.
Based on the excellent characteristics, papain bulk enzyme is now widely used in baking, meat tenderizing, wine clarification, soy sauce brewing, condiments, protein powder, animal and plant protein processing and enzymatic digestion ...... and other segments of the food industry. Meanwhile, papain is used in beauty and cosmetic, daily chemical industry, feed industry, cell culture, immunology and other industries.
The Food Additives Handbook has described that the formula of meat tenderizer is 2% papain, 15% glucose, 2% MSG and salt, etc.
Papain is as important to food as vitamins are to the human body; without it, the freshness, aroma and taste of food will be lowered by one grade.
