Meat tenderizers are proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes break the peptide bonds between proteins (amino acids) found in meat. Collagen is the complex protein that holds meat together. Some tenderizers are made of pineapple stem and papaya. These have natural proteollytic enzymes.
the main enzymatic activity in a piece of dead tissue is caused by proteases which breaks down other proteins
interestingly these enzymes can be used in cooking to make steaks more tender by keeping steak at around 110 F for a couple of hours before cooking
plant protease called papaine,Papain, a plant-derived cysteine protease specialized in breaking the peptide bonds between amino acids found in complex proteins
which only hydrolyzes the peptide bonds next to aromatic amino acids like tyrosine
enzyme will penetrate the meat, and by a process called forking
Protein enzymes tenderize meat by breaking down the proteins in it.

Actually the answer would be Restriction enzyme and DNA ligase.
because enzymes are just many different proteins put together so they can make many different combinations of enzymes.
Enzymes are Protein in Nature. Proteins are more precisely described as biochemical compounds. Some enzymes are combined with Rna's to form for example - Ribozymes. Enzymes, while completely composed from Organic Protein, are 'merely' one Form of Protein.
Amino acids make-up proteins, and enzymes are specialised proteins, so yes, enzymes do consist of amino acids.
Some plant fruits contain enzymes that "digest" proteins. Examples are the enzyme "Papain" from the Papaya fruit and "Bromelain" from the Pineapple fruit. When cooked or marinated in the juice of these fruit, the meet breaks down and becomes more tender.However, the fruit of the Apple tree IS NOT KNOWN to have one of these enzymes so it does not make meat tender.
They are used to make tough meet tender to eat.The most common enzyme used is called "papain" (papaya proteinase I) and is derived from papaya and certain other plants.
The acid in wine breaks down the proteins in meat, tenderizing it.
To make meat tender
Meat tenderizers are proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes break the peptide bonds between proteins (amino acids) found in meat. Collagen is the complex protein that holds meat together. Some tenderizers are made of pineapple stem and papaya. These have natural proteollytic enzymes.
Cow's feet are red meat, but there is not a lot of tender meet to be found on the foot of a cow. They are often used to make beef broth and the meat becomes more tender when slowly simmered.
Help break down protein to make the meat tender and add flavour
They actually shorten the protein strands which makes the meat more tender.
Tender meat
beat it with meat hammer or stabb it with a fork a few times
The term "aging" is often used these days with regards to the tenderising of meat. People used the word hung instead, but I guess aging sounds more appealing. The word hung derived from the fact the meat would be hung using a meat hook in a cool refrigerated space with good air circulation. This process allows the natural enzymes in the meat to break down and improve how tender the meat is. Often you will see steaks labelled in a supermarket as "aged for 21 days".
