Papain Powder Grade 100 to 1000 TU
High-performance cysteine protease derived from botanical Carica papaya latex, standardized across an enzymatic activity spectrum from 100 TU/mg to 1000 TU/mg (Tyrosine Units) for precise industrial, food processing, animal health, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Standardized Enzymatic Activity: 100 to 1000 TU
Papain is a powerful proteolytic endopeptidase derived from raw latex of green papaya fruit (Carica papaya). Enzymatic potency is measured in Tyrosine Units (TU), defining the quantity of tyrosine liberated from a protein substrate under calibrated assay conditions.
Because distinct industrial processes require specific catalytic speeds and concentration levels, Orchem Pharma provides standardized **Papain Powder in calibrated grades ranging from 100 TU to 1000 TU**. Every production batch undergoes filtration and low-temperature dehydration to safeguard native active-site integrity, guaranteeing high solubility, thermal stability, and batch-to-batch consistency.
