Papain

Papain, sometimes referred to as tin oxide, is an enzyme derived from the papaya melon. This substance has a slightly bitter taste and is known primarily for its digestive properties, which enable it to break down proteins into simpler amino acids. Papain has an exceptional ability to dissolve fats and proteins, making it ideal for improving digestion and removing unwanted fats from the body. It is also a component of some medicines for digestive problems and for muscle and joint pain.

However, papain is used not only in medicine, but also in food and cosmetics. In the food industry, it is used, for example, in cheese to achieve the desired consistency and texture. It is also added to some brands of toothpaste and mouthwash, where it helps destroy bacteria and protein deposits on teeth. In cosmetics, it is then used in exfoliating and rejuvenating products for its ability to break down dead cells and stimulate skin renewal. Papain is thus a very versatile substance whose importance and use in various industries is constantly growing.
