1 Squid is an animal that is eaten in many parts of the world.

The body of the squid is used as meat because it contains a lot of protein.

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
The meat from squid is quite tough and is often treated with enzymes to break down
the protein.

Some fruits contain enzymes that can break down protein.

Pineapples contain the enzyme bromelain and unripe papayas contain the
enzyme papain.

A study compared the effects of two different concentrations of these two enzymes
on the meat from squid.
