The fruit contains cryptoxanthin, violaxanthin, zeaxanthin, as well as linalool and linalool oxide. The beta-carotene and other vitamins in the Papaya fruit may help protect normal eyesight, and its unique enzymes are very helpful for aiding digestion and supporting a healthy gastrointestinal system, particularly the colon. In addition, it may help maintain normal cholesterol levels. Papaya is also used to support cardiovascular function and a healthy immune system.

History:Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency, it is no wonder the Papaya was reputably called the “Fruit of the Angels” by Christopher Columbus. Papaya is a tree-like plant with a single stem that can grow 15 to 30 feet tall. The leaves and fruit cluster at the top, leaving the rest of the stem bare as it grows. If the main stem is cropped, the plant will produce several new stems at that point. Delicate, white Papaya flowers are small, waxy, and enchantingly fragrant. The delicious Papaya fruits are spherical or pear-shaped, and can grow up to 20 inches long. They are green when young, turning yellow-orange as they ripen, with yellow, orange, or even pink flesh inside. Papaya plants produce these fruits throughout the year. Papaya is believed to be native to Central and South America, and is now cultivated around the world in tropical climates.*

Lycopenes The color of the Papaya fruit comes from the accumulation of lycopene or beta-carotene in chromoplasts. It is a distinct feature affecting nutritional composition, fruit quality, shelf life, and consumer preference.1

Lycopene is one of the most potent carotenoid antioxidants. Carotenoids are the red, orange and yellow coloring substances in plants and animals. Approximately seven hundred different carotenoids have been isolated from plants and animals. About fifty to sixty of these are present in a typical diet. The major carotenoids in the human body include: beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene. Various studies show that lycopene makes up at least 50 percent of the carotenoids in the human body, accentuating its importance. These carotenoids are specifically broken down by the body, often during the process of absorption into the bloodstream from the small intestine. They make their way to specific tissues and organs where they have been shown to protect against the type of oxygen damage that can harm human DNA.
