Product Overview

Dried-and-milled Green Papaya Powder, produced from unripe papayas harvested at peak papain content, offers robust protease activity, resistant starch and neutral flavour for digestive-support supplements and natural tenderisers.

Botanical & Regional Info

Scientific name: Carica papaya

Common names: Green papaya (English), Papaye verte (French), Papaya verde (Spanish), 未熟パパイヤ Mijuku papaiya (Japanese), कच्चा पपीता Kachcha papita (Hindi), 生青木瓜 Shēng qīng mùguā (Chinese)

Country of origin: India

Grade: Food grade · Dried + milled (unripe fruit, high-papain)

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

How to Use

Incorporate 2 g powder into 250 ml protein shakes to aid digestion via papain and chymopapain.

Use 1 % powder in meat marinades for rapid tenderisation without flavour carry-over.

Add to “flat-tummy” teas or gut-wellness capsules targeting digestive comfort.

Key Benefits

Ultra-high papain activity (≥ 5 000 TU/g) delivers potent protease support.

Resistant starch (~18 %) promotes beneficial gut bacteria and low GI.

Neutral flavour and colour suit savoury, sweet or capsule formats.

No carriers; moisture ≤ 7 % ensures long enzyme shelf stability.

Why do formulators choose green-papaya powder for digestive-enzyme products?

Unripe papayas contain papain and chymopapain at 3–4 × the levels found in ripe fruit. Our powder is dried at ≤ 50 °C and milled under nitrogen to retain ≥ 5 000 TU/g protease activity, verified by USP papain assay. A 2 g dose supplies ~10 000 TU, matching the enzyme units used in studies showing improved protein absorption and reduced GI discomfort in high-protein diets. Unlike bromelain, papain functions across pH 3–8, making it active in both stomach and small intestine. The green fruit’s low sugar avoids spiking carbohydrate content, allowing keto or low-sugar positioning.

Claim strength: Moderate.

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

How does green-papaya powder act as a clean-label meat tenderiser?

At 1 % (w/w) in marinades, papain hydrolyses collagen crosslinks, reducing Warner–Bratzler shear force by 45 % in beef flank after 30 min refrigeration. Because the powder is neutral tasting and colourless, it replaces synthetic proteolytic additives without altering flavour.

Claim strength: High.

Can resistant starch in green-papaya powder support prebiotic claims?

Green papaya retains ~18 % RS-II. Human crossover studies indicate that 15 g RS/day elevates butyrate levels and improves insulin sensitivity; adding 5 g powder to meal-replacement shakes contributes ~1 g RS, complementing other fibres toward that target.

Claim strength: Emerging.

Is enzyme activity stable in high-temperature processing?

Papain denatures above 70 °C. For RTD beverages processed via HTST, enzyme activity drops to < 5 %; therefore, add post-pasteurisation or supply as a capsule if digestive benefits are required.

Claim strength: High.

Does green-papaya powder contain latex allergens?

Latex-like chitinases are present but at low levels compared with fresh sap. Finished powder shows no detectable IgE-binding in ELISA screening; however, cautious labelling (“contains papaya enzyme”) is advised for latex-sensitised consumers.

Claim strength: Moderate.

How does the powder contribute to low-glycaemic meal formulations?

With only 10 g intrinsic sugars per 100 g and 18 % resistant starch, green-papaya powder yields a glycaemic index below 35. Adding 8 g to a 40 g protein bar provides enzyme benefits without raising the bar’s GI above the “low” category threshold of 55.

Claim strength: High.
