High Activity Papain Enzyme Powder for Supplement and Food Manufacturers
Botanical Cube is a professional Papain Powder manufacturer and supplier providing high-quality plant-based enzyme ingredients for supplement brands, food manufacturers, distributors, and international ingredient buyers.
Our papain enzyme powder is extracted from selected papaya latex (Carica papaya) and processed under controlled manufacturing procedures to ensure reliable enzyme activity, product stability, and batch consistency.
We supply pure papain powder with different enzyme activity specifications, including 300,000 U/g and 600,000 U/g by UV, while supporting global customers with OEM, ODM, private label, and bulk supply solutions.
What Is Papain Powder?
Papain enzyme powder is a natural proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya latex. As a plant-based enzyme ingredient, papain helps break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Due to its excellent enzymatic properties, pure papain powder is widely used in dietary supplements, functional nutrition products, food processing, and personal care formulations.

FAQ
Q1: Which is better, bromelain or papain?
A1: Whether bromelain or papain is better depends on the intended application. Both are plant-derived proteolytic enzymes (protein-digesting enzymes), but they have different sources, enzyme characteristics, and commercial uses.
Q2: What is papain used for in the food industry?
A2: Papain is widely used in the food industry as a natural proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting enzyme). It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, making it valuable for improving food texture, processing efficiency, and product quality.
Q3: Does using papain affect taste or aroma?
A3: Yes, papain can affect taste and aroma in food products, but the impact depends on the dosage, processing conditions, substrate type, and degree of protein hydrolysis.
Q4: How stable is papain during storage and processing?
A4: Papain is considered a relatively stable plant-derived enzyme, especially in dry powder form, but its activity can decrease under unfavorable storage or processing conditions. Stability depends mainly on temperature, moisture, pH, oxidizing agents, and processing time.
