Project report for Papaya Proteinase Enzyme

Papain is a popular folk remedy to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling.In India, It has also been used to improve digestion and to treat infections, diarrhea, and allergies. It’s also being studied for potential use in cancer and other diseases. Papain is used in many industries for variety of reasons. Some of the end-users are breweries, pharmaceuticals, food, leather, detergents, meat and fish processing etc. Thus, the end use segments are many. Most of these industries are growing. Good quality papain has export demand as well. In spite of very good domestic as well as export demand, papain manufacturing has not yet picked up in the North-East and hence there are good prospects for new entrepreneurs.

Papain is a proteolytic enzyme from the cysteine proteinase family. It is manufactured from the latex of raw papaya fruits as papaya is very rich in papain. A milky fluid known as latex containing papain oozes out of the green papaya. The greener the fruit, more active is the papain. Papain enzyme results in high value-addition. Papain, also known as papaya proteinase. It is a cysteine protease enzyme present in papaya and mountain papaya. It has wide ranging commercial applications in the leather, cosmetic, textiles, detergents, food and pharmaceutical industries. In the food industry, papain is used as an active ingredient in many commercial meat tenderizers. Papain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the raw fruit of the papaya plant. Proteolytic enzymes help break proteins down into smaller protein fragments called peptides and amino acids. This is why papain is a popular ingredient in meat tenderizer. Papain is also available in topical, chewable, and capsule forms. The papain-only supplements that pair papain with other enzymes, such as bromelain.

The Papain Market size was valued at INR 123,220 Crores in 2019, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.67% during the forecast period 2020-2025. The Papain Market growth rate is attributed to rising health concern among the consumers, high demand for meat tenderizers, and increasing demand for natural enzymes. In the food and medicine field, it is rigorously used. Papain is used to cleave peptide bonds preferentially, including essential amino acids, particularly arginine, lysine, and phenylalanine. In pharmaceuticals, drug design, the food industry and industrial applications, Papain has diverse applications. Papain is used as a debris remover, sports injury prevention, allergies, and other health-related concerns. Papain is a meat tenderizer often used in the meat industry. The growth of the papain market, which includes growing consumer health issues, rising applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries, is fuelled by several factors. In addition, the rise in papain usage in the various end-user industries has led to an increase in demand for papain, which fuels the growth of the market. In order to meet the increasing demand for papain-related products, companies that manufacture papain-related products are investing heavily in research and development. However, market growth is limited by the availability of artificial enzymes. Technological advances in the production of papain have contributed to an increase in the production of papain, which is anticipated to provide the market with growth opportunities.
