Papain’s role in feed production

Papain is an enzyme present in immature papaya fruits, roots, stems and leaves. It is a proteolytic enzyme. Papain is composed of a single peptide chain, appears as a white or light yellow powder, and has a wide range of specificity. Its thermal stability is better than other proteases, so Papain has good development and application space in food production and feed production.

Currently, Papain has a lot of room for development in the feed production industry. Using Papain to produce feed can save production costs and increase raw material utilization. Adding papain as an additive in feed production is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of animals and accelerates the growth rate of animals.

Animal feed is generally made from scraps produced in the food production process. These materials are rich in protein and have a relatively tight protein structure. Directly making them into feed will not achieve good utilization, resulting in a waste of raw materials, and As for increasing feeding costs, it may even cause environmental pollution, so Papain is used to hydrolyze raw materials into short peptides and amino acids, which facilitates animal absorption, increases feed utilization, and reduces feed production costs and animal feeding costs.
Papain is added to feed to improve feed utilization, reduce production costs, and promote animal digestion and absorption!

Compared with other proteases, Papain has better enzymatic activity, and its heat resistance and stability are better than other proteases. Papain can also be used to hydrolyze aromatic raw materials, and then mixed with other feeds to form complex compounds. Feed, thereby increasing the fragrance of the feed, increasing the animal's appetite, which is beneficial to the animal's eating, thereby accelerating the growth of the animal, shortening the time for the animal to be put out of the market, and increasing economic benefits.
