Some species, such as the papaya, bear edible fruit and produce papain. [3] Based on molecular analyses, this family has been proposed to have originated in Africa in the early Cenozoic era, ~66 million years ago (mya). The dispersal from Africa to Central America occurred ~35 mya, possibly via ocean currents from the Congo delta.
Chymopapain (EC 3.4.22.6, chymopapain A, chymopapain B, chymopapain S, brand name Chymodiactin) is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the latex of papaya (Carica papaya).It is a cysteine protease which belongs to the papain-like protease (PLCP) group. [1]

Corn syrup – Cottonseed oil – a major food oil, often used in industrial food processing. Cress – Crocetin – color; Crocin – color; Crosslinked Sodium carboxymethylcellulose – emulsifier; Cryptoxanthin – color; Cumin – Cumin oil/Black seed oil – used as a flavor, particularly in meat products. Also used in veterinary medicine.
Platelet concentration in the blood (i.e. platelet count), can be measured manually using a hemocytometer, or by placing blood in an automated platelet analyzer using particle counting, such as a Coulter counter or optical methods. [47] Most common blood testing methods include platelet count in their measurements, usually reported as PLT. [48]
Platelet transfusion, is the process of infusing platelet concentrate into the body via vein, to prevent or treat the bleeding in people with either a low platelet count or poor platelet function. [1] Often this occurs in people receiving cancer chemotherapy. [1]
Dipyridamole inhibits platelet phosphodiesterase, causing an increase in cyclic AMP with potentiation of the action of PGI 2 – opposes actions of TXA 2; Epoprostenol is a prostacyclin that is used to inhibit platelet aggregation during renal dialysis (with or without heparin) and is also used in primary pulmonary hypertension.
The mountain papaya fruit is harvested when it is anywhere from 5–20 centimetres (2.0–7.9 in) long, 5–6 centimetres (2.0–2.4 in) in diameter, and an average weight of 200 grams (7.1 oz). [7] During fruit softening the fruit undergoes textural changes due to cell wall modifications that occur through the synergistic action of a complex ...
