Technical & procurement detail
What Papain is and what it does+
Papain is a cysteine protease from papaya latex, used for protein hydrolysis, meat tenderising and chill-haze control in brewing. Activity is declared in supplier-specific protease units.
Bitterness follows over-hydrolysis+
Extended protease action releases hydrophobic peptides that taste bitter, and the reaction continues until it is heat-inactivated. Fix the inactivation step and the degree of hydrolysis target before scaling a trial.
Activity units, not weight, define the value+
Preparations of this type are sold on declared activity in the producer's own unit system, on a standardised carrier. Two offers at the same price per kilogram can differ several-fold in delivered activity, so compare on activity per kilogram and confirm the assay method used.
Storage and activity loss+
Declared activity falls with temperature and moisture exposure during storage. Confirm the storage condition, the declared shelf life and the activity at the point of delivery rather than at production.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
