Papain is widely
used in the line of Medical Application, Food Industry,
Forage Industry, Leather Industry, Textile Industry, Cosmetic
Industry, brewing industry, etc.
Medical Application:
As recorded in the Dictionary on Traditional Chinese Medicine,
the papaya contains papain, which can help cure cancers,
and kill the lymphatic leukemia cells, probacteria, parasite
and bacillus tuberculars, helping diminish inflammation,
normalize the functioning of the gallbladder, alleviating
pain and promote digestion. Meanwhile, it has stronger
curative effect on gynaopathy, glaucoma, osteoproliferation,
healing of wound, blood grouping and insect bites. The
papaya powder, on the other hand, can help promote the
blood circulation in one's breasts and make them healthier.
Food Industry:
Through enzymatic reaction, the macro-molecule protein
can be hydrolyzed into micro-molecule peptide or amino
acid, thus, the papain can be made into tenderizer for
meat, purifying agent for beer and softener for biscuits.
Besides, the papain can hydrolyze the animal and plant
protein to make high-level nutriments, with the conversed
protein for better absorption. This type of enzyme can
increase the PDI and NSI of bean cakes and bean powder,
so as to make soluble protein products and breakfast,
cereal and beverage that contain bean powder. Other usages
include: producing dehydrated beans, food for babies,
cheese and noncondensing oleo oil, the food that can be
easily digested by the patients, purified cider, soft
sweets, food aodorizaton, etc.
Forage Industry:
Putting the papain into some mixed forages can greatly
increase the availability and inversion of protein, decreasing
the cost for forages and exploiting sources of protein.
For example, the papain can used as additives in the forages
for such animals as pigs, oxen, sheep, chicks, ducks,
geese, fish, shrimps, eels and cows.
Leather Industry:
The papain can be made into depilatory for tanning the
leathers, making the products smooth and shiny.
Textile Industry:
The papain can be used for processing wool, boiling off
cocoons and refining silks. In this way, the products
won't shrink and will be quite soft. Since the pain can
dissolve sericin but is unable to affect silk fiber protein,
it can be used for the refinement of the mixture of bombycine
and vinegar fiber, and for the refinement of the Chinese
crine.
Cosmetic Industry:
The papain can help dispel taches ad pimples, clean you
face, promoting the blood circulation, making you skin
healthier and tender. Due to its characteristic of superoxide
dismutase ( SOD ) and properties of MT, the papain can
keep one's skin from sunburn.
Brewing Industry:
The crude papain is used in the brewing industry for chillproofing
beer and lager and the enzyme serum is a very excellent
for wort clarificant. |
