Gliadin + H2O a rat liver lysosome assay is used to monitor the extent of detoxification of a gliadin digest by caricain. Pre-incubating the gliadin digest for different durations with caricain allows the kinetics of the detoxification process to be studied. A significant degree of protection (80%) of the lysosomes is achieved with 1.7% w/w of caricain on substrate after incubation for 2 h at 37 °C. The detoxification follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.00017/sec Carica papaya ?
