What does FICINS mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
Different preparations of an enzyme from the sap of fig trees, treated as more than one substance.
It breaks down protein, which is why the sap was used to tenderise meat and to curdle milk long before anybody knew what was doing the work. The plural ficins appears where different preparations are compared, since what comes out of the tree is not one single substance.
