unripe papayas
Removes proteins by adding a protease. This is usually the enzyme Papain which is commonly found in meat tenderizer.
Bromelain is from pineapples. Papain (?) is from papayas.

Mango contains something similar to papain and bromelain.
Enzymes accelerate reactions within body cells. In the human body, the pancreas usually produces enzymes that break down foods into nutrients that the body can use for energy and other functions. Papain, an enzyme produced by the tropical fruit, papaya, is proteolytic, which means that it digests proteins. Frequently, papain is included in prescription combinations of digestive enzymes to replace what individuals with cystic fibrosis or pancreas conditions cannot produce naturally. Because it improves digestion in general, papain has also been used orally to treat less serious digestion disorders such as bloating and chronic indigestion. Since parasitic organisms are largely proteins, papain has sometimes been taken internally to eliminate intestinal worms, but this use is rare today. Proteolytic enzymes such as papain may also decrease pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis, improve healing of injuries, and reduce swelling after surgery.
Any protein based stain will be disolved by papain enzymes. Answer this question...

Pineapple contains a proteolytic enzyme (a protease) called bromelain.For your information another fruit which has enzymes that degrade protein isPapaya, and the protease is called papain.Thus both of these fruits are good in marinades.
The papaya is a tropical fruit native of Central America. In its ripe for, the flesh of this fruit is of a bright orange-pink color. Its small black seeds are edible, although rarely used, the enzyme contained in these seeds, called 'papain' is good for tenderizing meats.
Cellulase, papain, amylase, and lipase are just a few of the ones that can be found in the digestive system. They all act on different substrates though.
