How do you use meat tenderizer?
There are actually two types of meat tenderizer: one an enzyme (typically, "meat tenderizer powder"), and the other a tool ("a meat tenderizer"). If you are talking about the tool (which looks like a hammer with spikes on one or both sides), you just beat the cut of meat with it until it covers about twice the area it did before you smashed it. If referring to meat tenderizer powder, you sprinkle it liberally on the desired cut of meat and then use a fork or a meat tenderizer (the tool) to force the enzyme further into the meat immediately before cooking. The powder may also be used in marinades.

What is papaine?
Papaine is the common name for a proteolytic enzyme found in the seeds of the tropical fruit Papaya.It is used as a meat tenderizer (it means softens the fibers of the meat to make it more juicy and chewable),this is possible due to the activity of the enzime that breaks the chemical bonds in meat protein.
Is meat tenderizer an enzyme or a catalyst?
Meat tenderizer is made up of protease enzymes, usually papain and bromelain, that attack the protein structure of meat and makes less tough or more tender. An enzyme is biocatalyst that is itself made of a highly structured protein or proteins thus making it a biochemical and organic material. A catalyst, on the other hand, will still speed up chemical reactions like an enzyme, but cannot be classified as a biochemical or organic material; a catalyst is an inorganic or non-biochemical material that will speed chemical reactions.
How do you dry papaya to make it meat tenderizer?
yes.there is a component in it called papain that breaks down fibers in the meat..Making the Papaya Meat TenderizerAll you need to make your own meat tenderizer at home is one medium-sized papaya fruit and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Rinse the papaya under warm water, then cut into the papaya about ¼" deep and peel off the skin. You should be left with a slightly soft, fleshy fruit.Chop the papaya fruit into small cubes and place it in a small bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt, and then mash the papaya with a fork or the back of a spoon. You want to make a thick paste, so keep mixing until all the lumps are out of the mixture. You will need about one tablespoon of papaya mixture or every half pound of meat (all types).Tenderizing Meat with PapayaAfter you're prepared your meat tenderizer, you will need to activate the enzymes. This requires heating the meat to at least 140 °F, so all you need to do is heat the meat with the tenderizer on the stove, or in the oven. Different types of meat require different heating times, but you want to raise the temperature to no more than 160 °F or the tenderizer will become inactive. According to EnzymeDevelopment.com, Papain becomes completely inactive at a temperature range of 170-185 degrees Fahrenheit.Check the temperature regularly when cooking the meat using your preferred method so you don't burn the meat, or lose the effects of the tenderizer.
