Synopsis

This book details the commercial production and digestive properties of papain, an enzyme derived from the tropical papaya fruit. Derived from the latex of unripe papaya fruits, papain was initially used in folk medicine by the Caribbean Caribs. It is now produced on a large scale, primarily in Ceylon, Mexico, and the West Indies, and finds application in various industries, including the food and beverage, textile, and pharmaceutical sectors. The author presents a thorough analysis of the enzyme's action and efficacy, providing a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the properties of this remarkable substance.
