DIGESTIVE APPLICATION Studies of geriatric patients show that the incidence of achlorhydria increases with age. This decrease in acid content effectively reduces the ability of pepsin to digest protein. The supplemental enzyme activity of papaya has been used as an aid to protein digestion in these patients. This digestive activity has been used in cases of gastric discomfort where a sense of fullness, pain or nausea may be present after meals. Such conditions are not unusual, although they seem to occur most frequently in persons who suffer from hypochlorhydria, achlorhydria or achylia. The utililization of proteolytic enzymes in medicine and pharmacology has been well documented by studies in animal and human nutrition. Papaya, for example, when added to the feed or dogs on a soybean protein diet caused significant increases in digestive efficiency. Papain: Papain is a proteolytic (protein degrading) enzyme preparation isolated from the Carica papaya fruit. It is characterized by the ability to hydrolyze large proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Its broad substrate specificity and ability to hydrolyze small peptides as well as large proteins make papain an ideal enzymatic supplement. Papain activity is measured in the Food Chemical Codex Papain Unit (FCC PU) Papain has a mild, soothing effect on the stomach and aids in protein digestion. The present world supply of mucosa from hog stomachs has diminished due to high demand and rnanufacturers of digestive aids should consider replacing pepsin (prepared from hog mucosa) with PAPAIN. The price of PAPAIN on an activity basis is approximately on half that of pepsin (I: 10,000) and since PAPAIN is manufactured and derived from a plant there should be no problems relative to supply. Also, since the two enzymes are comparable with regard to activity in the pH ranges previously listed their performance is also similar. Prochaska, L.J.
