Starting in mid-2021, Enzyme Development Corporation (EDC) will produce a high activity purified liquid papain that will meet the requirements for the “Kosher for Passover” certification.

Ficin, a natural non-GMO proteolytic biocatalyst from the latex of Ficus species (tropical fig tree), is approved for use in food and perfect for clean label products. Ficin functions similarly to other plant cysteine proteases, such as Papain and Bromelain, but has a lower deactivation temperature, making it ideal for meat tenderizing applications, particularly thin cuts of meat such as fajita strips.
