Papain is a protease in the juice of unripe papaya that is used especially as a tenderizer for meat and in medicine (as in the topical debridement of necrotic tissue). -- from Webster's online dictionary.
I don't know if Babaco produces this protein. Note that common papaya is in the Genus Carissa, while Babaco is in the Genus Vasconcellea.
