FAQ

What is often confused with this ingredient on purchase orders?

Papain and bromelain are different enzymes—activity numbers are not interchangeable even when both are “protease”.

What does the solubility line mean for formulation?

Solubility on the sheet is Soluble in water. Match your process phase (aqueous, fat or dry blend) to that line—lipophilic materials need emulsification for clear beverages.

Why is the specification quoted in activity units instead of percent?

Enzyme materials are sold on activity (UV, GDU/g or similar on the sheet), not on a single chemical purity %. Compare suppliers only when the unit and method on the COA match.

Which certificates or quality statements should I confirm on the COA?

Supplier pages for Papain Powder/Papaya Enzyme Powder mention ISO22000, Kosher, Halal, Organic(EU), etc.—the lot COA must match what you print or claim in your market.

What shelf-life and storage should I plan for?

The trade sheet notes 2 year,Available InBulk, Private Label/OEM, Individually Packaged Goods. Hold sealed, cool and dry unless your stability study says otherwise—especially for hygroscopic amino acids and enzymes.

What is the MOQ for bulk ingredient?

1 kg minimum order quantity as stated on this listing—confirm pack size (drum vs bag) on the proforma invoice.

Is this material sold for direct consumer retail in bulk drums?

Listings describe bulk raw material for production, private label and OEM. Repack under your brand with stability testing and regulatory review for the finished format.
