METPAPA® Papain Powder 350 TU by Meteoric Biopharmaceuticals is a regulated proteolytic enzyme extracted from the latex of Carica papaya. Papain is well-known for its capacity to decompose proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, rendering it an essential component in both food and nutraceutical products.
This 350 TU grade signifies a less active variant of papain, commonly employed in situations that need a controlled or gentle proteolytic effect. It is frequently included in combinations of digestive enzymes, food production systems, and mixtures that need mild protein hydrolysis.
Papain is generated by drying papaya latex through regulated techniques like spray drying or various drying processes to maintain enzymatic activity and guarantee uniform performance among batches.
Applications
- Digestive enzyme supplement formulations
- Mild protein hydrolysis in food processing
- Meat tenderization systems (controlled applications)
- Bakery and food manufacturing enzyme blends
- Nutraceutical enzyme combinations
- Industrial food processing applications
