papain
Fruit-derived protease
Papain is an enzyme extracted from papaya fruit, used as a meat tenderizer and in various industrial applications.
It breaks down proteins, which is why marinades containing papaya soften tough cuts of meat.
Papain also appears in digestive supplements and some medical treatments for reducing inflammation.
