Abstract The results are presented of an investigation of the yield and total solids content of the latex obtained in successive tappings of papaya fruit and of the yield and activity of the crude papain obtained from the latex samples by sun‐ and vacuum‐drying. The effect of the addition of metabisulphite, with and without thymol, on the activity of the dried products is described.
