Papaya is a plant. The leaves are used to make medicine.Papaya is used for preventing and treating gastrointestinal tract disorders, intestinal parasite infections, and as a sedative and diuretic. It is also used for nerve pains (neuralgia) and elephantoid growths. Elephantoid growths are large swollen areas of the body that are symptoms of a rare disorder of the lymphatic system caused by parasitic worms.Papaya contains a chemical called papain, which is commonly used as a meat tenderizer.
How does it work?
Papaya contains a chemical called papain. Papain breaks down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. That's why it works as a meat tenderizer. However, papain is changed by digestive juices, so there is some question about whether it could be effective as a medicine when taken by mouth.
Papaya also contains a chemical called carpain. Carpain seems to be able to kill certain parasites, and it might affect the central nervous system.
1. In the food industry

2. In Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics industry
(1) Skin and wound care
Papain has the ability to dissolve dead tissue without damaging living cells. An ointment, containing papain and urea, is available by prescription in the United States to debride necrotic tissue and liquefy slough in a variety of short- and long-term lesions, including pressure ulcers.
(2) Anti-inflammatory
Papain has shown to be useful as an anti-inflammatory and may help in cases of surgical or accidental trauma, sore throat and swelling. It works by reducing pain and swelling and accelerating the healing process.
