Question

Enzyme present in papaya, pineapple and figs:

• A. Papain, bromelin
• B. Papain, bromelin and ficin
• C. Ficin
• D. Papain

Hint:

Remember, bf{Papain} is found in papaya, bf{Bromelin} in pineapple, and bf{Ficin} in figs. These enzymes have proteolytic properties, aiding in digestion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Papaya contains the enzyme Papain, which is proteolytic, helping in the breakdown of proteins. Pineapple contains Bromelin, which also has proteolytic properties. Figs contain Ficin, another protease that helps in protein digestion. Thus, the correct answer is Papain, bromelin and ficin.
- Papain, bromelin: Incorrect! While papain and bromelin are indeed found in papaya and pineapple respectively, figs also contain ficin, making this answer incomplete.
- Papain, bromelin and ficin: Correct! This option correctly lists all three enzymes found in papaya, pineapple, and figs.
- Ficin: Incorrect! Ficin is present in figs, but this answer doesn't consider the presence of papain in papaya and bromelin in pineapple.
- Papain: Incorrect! Papain is present in papaya, but this answer ignores the other enzymes.
