Pineapple Extract 2500GDU/g Bromelain | 150977-36-9

Bromelain is also called pineapple enzyme. Sulfhydryl protease extracted from pineapple juice, peel, etc. Light yellow amorphous powder with slight specific odor. Molecular weight 33000. The optimum pH for casein, hemoglobin, and BAEE is 6-8, and for gelatin, the pH is 5.0. Enzyme activity is inhibited by heavy metals. Slightly soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, acetone, chloroform and ether. It preferentially hydrolyzes the peptide chain on the carboxyl side of basic amino acids (such as arginine) or aromatic amino acids (such as phenylalanine, tyrosine), selectively hydrolyzes fibrin, can decompose muscle fibers, and acts on fibrinogen. Use weak. It can be used for beer clarification, medicinal digestion, anti-inflammatory and swelling.

Application of bromelain in food processing industry

1）Baked goods: Bromelain is added to the dough to degrade the gluten, and the dough is softened for easy processing. And can improve the taste and quality of biscuits and bread. 

2）Cheese: used for the coagulation of casein. 

3）Meat tenderization: Bromelain hydrolyzes the macromolecular protein of meat protein into easily absorbed small molecular amino acid and protein. It can be widely used in the finishing of meat products. 

4）The application of bromelain in other food processing industries, some people have used bromelain to increase the PDI value and NSI value of soy cake and soy flour, so as to produce soluble protein products and breakfast, cereals and beverages containing soy flour. Others include producing dehydrated beans, baby food and margarine; clarifying apple juice; making gummies; providing digestible food for the sick; adding flavor to everyday foods. 

2. Application of bromelain in medicine and health care products industry

1）Inhibit the growth of tumor cells Clinical studies have shown that bromelain can inhibit the growth of tumor cells. 

2）Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease Bromelain as a proteolytic enzyme is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It inhibits heart attack and stroke caused by platelet aggregation, relieves symptoms of angina, eases arterial constriction, and accelerates the breakdown of fibrinogen. 

3）For burn and scab removal Bromelain can selectively exfoliate the skin so that new skin transplantation can be carried out as soon as possible. Animal experiments have shown that bromelain has no adverse effect on adjacent normal skin. Topical antibiotics did not affect the effect of bromelain. 4）Anti-inflammatory effect Bromelain can effectively treat inflammation and edema in various tissues (including thrombophlebitis, skeletal muscle injury, hematoma, stomatitis, diabetic ulcer and sports injury), and bromelain has the potential to activate the inflammatory response. Bromelain also treats diarrhea. 

5）Improve drug absorption Combining bromelain with various antibiotics (such as tetracycline, amoxicillin, etc.) can improve its efficacy. Relevant studies have shown that it can promote the transmission of antibiotics at the site of infection, thereby reducing the amount of antibiotics administered. It is inferred that for anticancer drugs, there is a similar effect. In addition, bromelain promotes the absorption of nutrients. 

3. Application of Bromelain in Beauty and Cosmetics Industry Bromelain has excellent effects on skin rejuvenation, whitening and spot removal. Basic principle of action: Bromelain can act on the aging stratum corneum of human skin, promote its degradation, decomposition and removal, promote skin metabolism, and reduce the phenomenon of dark skin caused by sun exposure. Make the skin maintain a good white and tender state.

4. Application of bromelain preparation in feed Adding bromelain to the feed formula or directly mixing it in the feed can greatly improve the utilization rate and conversion rate of protein, and can develop a wider protein source, thereby reducing the cost of feed.
