In camelids, the development of assisted reproductive technologies is impaired by the viscous nature of the semen. The protease papain has shown promise in reducing viscosity, although its effect on sperm integrity is unknown. The present study determined the optimal papain concentration and exposure time to reduce seminal plasma viscosity and investigated the effect of papain and its inhibitor...

Papain is a proteolytic enzyme which is widely used in food industry, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Occupational and non-occupational papain allergies have previously been documented; however, there are limited publications about papain allergy with its relative fruit allergy. Here, we present a case of occupational, IgE-mediated papain allergy with kiwi fruit and fig fruit allergy. A 53-year...

Papain is an enzyme used in topical formulations as a proteolytic debriding agent for the treatment of open, extensive wounds and burnings. It is also employed as an enhancer for cutaneous permeation of active compounds, chemical peeling and as a progressive depilatory agent. The stability of formulations containing enzymes is not easy. In this research, papain was modified with polyethylene gl...

A substance has been demonstrated in solutions of crude papain, which, when injected intravenously into 1 kilo rabbits, in amounts less than 5 mg., results in complete collapse of both ears. The phenomenon becomes visible 4 hours after injection, and is complete within 24 hours. 3 or 4 days after papain, the ears gradually reassume their normal form. Ear collapse is associated with depletion of...

The degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant activity protein hydrolysates from fresh cow’s milk whey obtained by the action proteolytic enzymes papain, bromelain chymosin were compared. lowest in was reported for sample MP1 (10 min reaction time, treatment with 0.1 mg/ml papain), highest percentage at hydrolysate MB12 (at 60 1.0 bromelain). For samples WC1 μl/ml chymosin), lowest. achieved WP12 us...

Papain a proteolytic enzyme is one of the enzymes which have various applications in regard to food and chemical industry. Papain isolated by cutting or making incision on unripe fruit papaya. more active green fruit. Papaya contains papain will be helpful treating causes trauma, allergies sports injuries also has superior digestion action when compare pepsin pan...

Papain contains a cysteine-activatable proteinase that hydrolyzes benzoyll-arginlneamide (1). This enzyme has been shown to have a specificity similar to that of crystalline pancreatic trypsin (2) and therefore has been designated papain trypsinase (3). Previous experiments have shown that papain trypsinase exists in two inactive forms which can be designated papain-a-trypsinase and papain-13-t...

Pepaya ( Carica papaya L.) adalah salah satu buah yang cukup terkenal di Indonesia dan mengandung enzim papain. Papain proteolitik dapat diekstrak dari getah pepaya. VCO Virgin Coconut Oil ) merupakan minyak nabati asam laurat senyawa fenolik tinggi. Dengan kandungan tersebut, papain memiliki potensi pengembangan sediaan kosmetik ditujukan untuk perawatan kulit karena aktivitas antioksidan Pene...

A method is presented for purifying papain from extracts of papaya latex. The procedure involves precipitation of the extract of papaya latex with sodium chloride followed by affinity chromatography of the redissolved precipitate. Precipitation of the protein from the latex extract is necessary to separate the papain from material which interferes with the binding of papain to the affinity colu...

Cross-class inhibition of cysteine proteinases by serpins differs from serpin inhibition of serine proteinases primarily in that no stable serpin-cysteine proteinase complex can be demonstrated. This difference in reaction mechanism was elucidated by studies of the inactivation of the cysteine proteinases, papain and cathepsin L, by the serpin antithrombin. The two proteinases were inactivated ...
