Papaya Extract is a natural botanical ingredient derived from Carica papaya fruits via solvent extraction or enzymatic hydrolysis. It primarily contains papain, chymopapain, and carotenoids. The active protease component typically lacks a single unified CAS number due to its protein nature, though specific fractions may reference CAS 9001-68-5.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C to maintain enzyme stability. Users must avoid inhalation of fine powders; skin contact may cause allergic dermatitis in sensitized individuals. Not recommended for patients with latex-fruit syndrome without medical supervision.
