Papain: A natural protease from papaya

Enzymes used for animal feed

Papain activity can be standardized/reported on a variety of methods that are all done at our on-site laboratory.  These include the

  • Milk Clot Assay, (MCU/mg)
  • Tyrosine Assay (TU/mg)
  • Food Chemicals Codex Plant Protease Assay, (FCC PU/mg)
  • BAPA assay (BAPA/g)
  • Hemoglobin Assay (HUT/gram)
  • FIP assay method

Our powder papain products are available in a variety of pack sizes including 50 pound net, fiber drums, 25 kilo net fiber drums, we also do custom packing as requested.

ENZECO® PURIFIED PAPAIN RS CONCENTRATE
Papain that is processed without the use of sulfites. The papaya latex in this product has been processed without the addition of sodium metabisulfite. This results in papain with substantially reduced levels of SO2.  It is important to also note that there are now a number of “no sulfite added” papain claims in the marketplace. This product contains only the botanical enzymes and has no other ingredients. It has earned an OMRI listed® certification , which means that it may be used in certified organic operations or food processing under the USDA National Organic Program.

We also report the actual SO2 level on the certificate of analysis using the Current Revision of Food Chemical Codex (AOAC Method 990.28). A concentrated papain testing 800+TU/mg should never have a level above 50 ppm and should be less than 25 ppm.  There is no such thing as a papain that is “sulfite free” since  papaya contains naturally occurring sulfur. The only claim possible is “no sulfite added”.
