Description
Papain NZs-BE-A033 is a high-activity, thermostable papain enzyme specially developed for efficient protein hydrolysis and biocatalytic processing applications. This enzyme preparation is manufactured using membrane separation and low-temperature drying technologies to preserve enzyme activity while minimizing microbial contamination. It exhibits excellent proteolytic performance, high purity, and strong stability across a broad temperature and pH range. As a sulfhydryl-containing endopeptidase, papain effectively hydrolyzes proteins, polypeptides, esters, and amide bonds into smaller peptides and amino acids. Its strong catalytic capability makes it widely applicable in food processing, feed production, cosmetics, textile treatment, and leather processing.

Applications
- Food protein hydrolysis: Papain NZs-BE-A033 is highly effective in hydrolyzing animal and vegetable proteins into peptides and amino acids. The enzyme helps improve digestibility, nutritional value, flavor development, and absorption efficiency while reducing production costs and improving process consistency. It can be applied to proteins derived from beef, poultry, pork, seafood, soy, wheat, and other protein-rich raw materials.
- Baking and biscuit processing: In bakery applications, papain NZs-BE-A033 helps partially hydrolyze gluten proteins, improving dough extensibility and handling properties. It contributes to improved biscuit texture, controlled dough elasticity, enhanced color formation, and reduced usage of chemical softening agents.
- Brewing and fermentation: The enzyme can be used in brewing and fermentation processes to improve protein degradation, clarification efficiency, and filtration performance. It assists in reducing haze formation and enhancing product stability.
- Feed industry: Papain NZs-BE-A033 can be incorporated into feed formulations to improve protein digestibility and nutrient utilization in livestock and aquaculture. The enzyme supports animal growth performance while helping reduce feed costs.
- Cosmetics and personal care: Papain is commonly utilized in exfoliating formulations, facial cleansers, toothpaste, and skincare products. Its proteolytic activity assists in removing dead skin cells, improving skin smoothness, and enhancing product performance.
- Textile and leather processing: In textile and leather industries, papain can be used for silk degumming, wool softening, and hide treatment processes. It contributes to improved softness, texture, and material quality.
Usage
Papain NZs-BE-A033 is typically used under processing conditions of 40-75 °C and pH 6.0-7.0, with a reaction time of 6-8 hours. The recommended dosage is approximately 0.1%-0.3% based on total substrate weight. The exact application rate and reaction time should be optimized according to the raw material composition, desired degree of hydrolysis, production scale, and specific processing objectives. Preliminary pilot testing is recommended to determine the most suitable operating parameters for achieving optimal enzyme performance and product quality.
Storage
Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, and kept tightly sealed in its original container to preserve its stability and activity. It is important to protect the product from direct sunlight, elevated temperatures, and moisture, as exposure to heat, humidity, or prolonged light may lead to a reduction in enzyme performance.
