our new
reseaches were done to overcome grower problems
Papaya is grown long ago in Alexandria ,
In the eastern coast of Alexandria
(mediterranian sea). the papaya is used in
traditional midicine. Papaya is the only fruit
which contains pappin enzyme simmilar to pepsin
in stomack which transfer complex proteins to
simple aminoacids. So papaya is used for stomack
problems. pappin is used also in beauty products
sor soft skin, removing dead skin under foot,
for hair health. pappin is extracted fom green
fruits on trees by making small cuts on fruit
(not more 1 cm. depth). you can find white milky
substance released , collect it in non metal
jars and let it to dry and transfer to powder.
this is the pappin enzyme.
papaya is easy
to grow in contaners in roofs and sunny places.
Just remove seeds , clean, wash dry inside , and
grow in mixture of sand clay.
As a result of
extracting pappin, you will find malformed
fruits , somewhat dry. Dont worry you can use
this as pickles, chutney by processing. we have
done reseaches (see food technology page in this
site). processing of papaya fruits help in using
the fruits which could be lost in winter at
Alexandria. Ripe yellow papaya is used in kids
food because it is rich of vitamins
A,C.
