Safety evaluation of the food enzyme papain, a cysteine endopeptidase complex from the latex of <i>Carica papaya</i> L. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The food enzyme is a cysteine endopeptidase complex, containing papain (EC 3.4.22.2), chymopapain (EC 3.4.22.6), caricain (EC 3.4.22.30) and glycyl endopeptidase (EC 3.4.22.25), obtained from the latex of unripe Carica papaya L. by Enzybel International SA. It is intended to be used in nine food manufacturing processes.

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme papain from the latex of <i>Carica papaya</i> L. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The food enzyme papain (EC 3.4.22.2) is extracted from the latex of unripe Carica papaya L. by Nagase (Europe) GmbH. It is intended to be used in six food manufacturing processes. The dietary exposure to the food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 1.112 mg TOS/kg body weight per day. This exposure is up to one order of

Polysaccharide Composition of Unlignified Cell Walls of Pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.] Fruit [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1995
The polysaccharides of cell walls isolated from the fleshy, edible part of the fruit of the monocotyledon pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.] (family Bromeliaceae) were analyzed chemically. These cell walls were derived mostly from parenchyma cells and were shown histochemically to be unlignified, but they contained ester-linked ferulic acid.
