why is papaya good for digestion?

Answer 1

because the enzymes in it help you digest food.

the seeds of papaya are often ground & used to make meat tenderizer.

Answer 2

Papaya fruit or pill provides papain which breaks down foods in the gut better and quicker than the gut would alone or if someone has slow digestion. Papain will especially help flesh the flesh to dissolve and stomach to digest properly.

To understand why Papayas are good for digestion one must get to know vegetable pepsins which act and perform as a protease.

Amino acids such as animal flesh are bound together by peptide bonds into one molecule.

The unripe fruit of the papaya be a rich source of papain. Papain be technically a super strong vegetable pepsin. Vegetable pepsins are capable of digesting protein in acid, alkaline or neutral medium.


A protease is any certain enzyme that conducts proteolysis
(proteolysis be protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together)

Proteolysis be a direct degradation (digestion) of proteins by cellular enzymes (papains such an enzyme)

Papain will digest most protein materials or substance on which an enzyme acts such as lipids and carbohydrates (these food parts are the "substrates") more than the other proteases being the pancreatic usual proteases. (protease means the "protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids")

Papain, a proteolytic enzyme specifically seeks to split of complex molecules into simpler molecules ( this splitting be named "cleaving"); peptide bonds of basic amino acids, leucine, or glycine.


A proteolytic enzyme breaks proteins up into smaller fragments, usually neutralizing their activities (helps you digestion by zapping with acidic but safe enzyme that super melts it and dissolves quicker)


But don't be afraid to eat fresh papaya now that you know it be a
meat tenderizer ! Those papain pills are concentrated so theyre different from ingesting the mature fruit unless you overdo the fruit.

Answer 3

Papaya supplies the proteolytic enzyme papain (a cysteine protease), which aids in the digestion of proteins. It breaks peptide bonds and helps to break down tough meat fibers. (like meat tenderizer)
