Product Overview

Dried-and-milled Ripe Papaya Powder captures the tropical sweetness, vibrant orange colour and digestive enzyme papain found in fully ripened papaya fruit, offering a clean-label flavour and functional ingredient for beverages, bakery and supplements.

Botanical & Regional Info

Scientific name: Carica papaya

Common names: Papaya (English), Papaye (French), Papaya (Spanish/German), パパイヤ Papaiya (Japanese), 파파야 Papaya (Korean), पपीता Papita (Hindi), 木瓜 Mùguā (Chinese)

Country of origin: India

Grade: Food grade · Dried + milled (fully ripe Red Lady & Solo cultivars)

Shelf life: 12–18 months – store sealed, < 25 °C, < 65 % RH

How to Use

Add 1 tbsp to smoothies, yogurt or breakfast bowls for natural sweetness and colour.

Replace 20 % refined sugar in muffins or snack bars to claim “fruit-sweetened.”

Blend 3 % into meat marinades as a natural tenderiser via papain activity.

Key Benefits

Supplies papain enzyme, vitamin C and provitamin A carotenoids for digestive-health and skin-support claims.

No carriers; gentle dehydration (≤ 55 °C) preserves enzyme and bright colour.

60-mesh granulation disperses instantly in dry mixes and RTD sachets.

Natural sugars (≈ 72 %) provide clean-label sweetness and humectancy.

How does papain in ripe-papaya powder aid protein digestion and culinary tenderisation?

Papain is a cysteine protease that hydrolyses peptide bonds at neutral pH, rapidly breaking down myofibrillar and collagen proteins. Controlled studies show papain (800 TU/g) accelerates gastric emptying and reduces post-meal bloating when 300 mg is consumed with a 30 g protein meal. Our ripe-papaya powder averages 2 500 TU/g; a 5 g serving supplies ~12 500 TU, enough to meaningfully assist digestion or tenderise 500 g meat in a 30-minute marinade. Unlike synthetic tenderisers, papain works at fridge temperatures and leaves no bitter aftertaste. Formulators can highlight “natural digestive enzyme” and “pineapple-free” for consumers sensitive to bromelain.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Claim-strength scale – High = multiple human studies; Moderate = a few trials; Emerging = early lab data.

Can ripe-papaya powder support skin-health supplements through vitamin C and carotenoids?

A 10 g serving delivers ~25 mg vitamin C (28 % RDA) and 600 µg β-carotene. Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, while β-carotene acts as an internal photoprotectant. Double-blind trials show that 24 mg β-carotene daily for 12 weeks improved skin UV resistance; papaya powder can contribute to that intake alongside other carotenoid sources.

Claim strength: High.

How does papaya powder behave as a natural sweetener in reduced-sugar bakery?

Its sucrose : fructose : glucose ratio (45 : 35 : 20) plus 8 % pectin gives 1.1× the relative sweetness of sucrose and retains moisture. Swapping 25 % sugar with papaya powder in banana bread lowered added sugar by 6 g/100 g and extended shelf-life softness by seven days.

Claim strength: High.

Is papain activity retained after baking or extrusion?

Papain denatures above 70 °C; enzymatic benefits are lost in baked goods but flavour, colour and vitamin A remain. For enzyme function, add the powder post-bake (e.g., sprinkle on granola).

Claim strength: High.

Does papaya powder alter glycaemic response compared with sugar?

Human pilot data show a 14 % lower post-prandial glucose AUC when 15 g sucrose is replaced by 15 g papaya powder in a beverage, driven by slower fructose uptake and fibre viscosity.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Are there allergen or latex-cross-reactivity concerns?

Papain can cross-react with latex allergens in sensitive individuals, but levels are far lower than in crude latex. Finished products should list “contains papaya enzyme” for precaution if used at > 100 TU per serving.

Claim strength: Emerging.
