The enzyme is sourced from the Carica Papaya fruit. In order to obtain the enzyme, smallholders make an incision in the leaf or fruit of the unripened plant. The plant's latex is then collected, processed and dried into white powder or flake form. Papain is used in a wide range of applications such as:
* Chillproofing of beer
* Meat tenderization
* Spices and Marinades
* Protein H ydrolysates
* Dairy products
* Pet foods
* Dietary and nutritional supplements
* Digestive aids
* Contact lens cleaners
* Cosmetics
* Protein stain removers
* Leather tanning
* Silver recovery from photographic films
All Reco products are accompanied by a certificate of laboratory analysis.
Our Papain is Kosher Certified and the company is ISO900:2000 certified.
