What Is Papain Powder/Papaya Enzyme Powder?
Papain, commonly known as papaya enzyme.Papain is a natural enzyme found in papaya fruit. It can be extracted from the “latex” of the fruit. The latex is the white fluid found in raw, unripe papaya. It specifically works by breaking down proteins.
Papain is considered a digestive enzyme that may help you digest and absorb nutrients from food. But it has been used in a number of different ways that extend well beyond human gut health. For example, it has been used in industrial settings as a meat tenderizer and in laboratory testing. It has also been used to help with health conditions like dental decay and wound healing.
Papain can be obtained as a supplement in the forms of capsules, chewable, and topical creams in addition to the consumption of raw papaya fruit.
Our papain adopts a low-temperature spray drying process during the extraction and drying process to minimize the generation of off-flavors and impurities while maximizing the enzyme activity. Unlike some lower-grade products on the market, our papain has stable tyrosine units (TU), excellent solubility, and can be customized to the mesh size required for specific applications. Whether you are in the nutraceutical, food, cosmetic or animal health industries, our papain powder meets your standards for clean, stable and easy application.

Papaya Enzyme Powder Benefits
Papaya enzyme, primarily papain, offers various benefits, most notably aiding digestion by breaking down proteins, which can alleviate indigestion, bloating, and heartburn, and enhance nutrient absorption. Beyond digestive support, papain is recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties, potentially benefiting conditions like arthritis and sinusitis, and may contribute to wound healing and improved skin health through its exfoliating and protein-digesting actions.
- Aids Digestion
Papain helps break down proteins in food, making digestion more efficient and potentially reducing symptoms like indigestion, bloating, and heartburn.
- Enhances Nutrient Absorption
By improving protein digestion, papaya enzyme can contribute to better absorption of essential nutrients in the gut.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties
Papain’s ability to inhibit inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins may help with inflammatory conditions and pain.
- Supports Skin Health
Papain is a natural exfoliant that breaks down dead skin cells, promoting brighter, smoother, and clearer skin, and can also aid in wound healing.
- Potential Immune Support
Some research suggests papain may play a role in improving immune functioning.
- Promotes Muscle Recovery
The protein-digesting properties can also assist in encouraging muscle recovery.
Papain Powder/Papaya Enzyme Powder Applications
- Food Industry
It is mainly used for meat tenderization, beer clarification and dairy product processing. Its protein hydrolysis can improve the taste of meat and make it softer; it can decompose residual protein in beer brewing to prevent cold turbidity and improve transparency; it can also improve the texture and flavor of dairy products.
- Cosmetics
Found in products like face creams and some toothpastes, where it can contribute to skin care and teeth whitening properties.
Papain acts as a natural exfoliant that breaks down the proteins that connect dead skin cells. Papain removes dead skin cells and helps skin appear fresher and more radiant.
- Medical Fields
Used to treat necrotic tissues, aid digestion (dyspepsia), and for various skin conditions like eczema and ulcers. It has also been studied for potential use in treating certain infections and in the production of antibody fragments.
- Industrial applications
Textile and leather processing.Used for wool shrinkage prevention and leather tanning. The treated wool has higher tensile strength and the leather has finer pores.
- Feed industry
Decompose feed protein into amino acids, improve nutrient absorption rate, reduce breeding costs and promote animal growth.
