Bromelain is also called pineapple enzyme. Sulfhydryl protease extracted from pineapple juice and skin. Pale yellow amorphous powder with peculiar odor. Molecular weight 33,000. The optimal pH value for casein, hemoglobin and BAEE is 6 ~ 8, while for gelatin it 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 and tyrosine), selectively hydrolyzes fibrinin, can decompose muscle fiber, and has weak effect on fibrinogen. It can be used for beer clarification, medical aid digestion and anti - inflammatory swelling.
1.Bromelain can inhibit the growth of the cells
2.Bromelain is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It inhibits heart attacks and strokes caused by platelet aggregation, relieves angina symptoms, relieves artery contractions, and speeds up the breakdown of fibrinogen.
3.Bromelain can selectively remove the skin, enabling the new skin graft to be carried out as soon as possible.
4.Bromelaincan effectively treat inflammation and edema (including thrombophlebitis, skeletal muscle injury, hematoma, stomatitis, diabetic ulcer and motor injury) in various tissues. Bromelain has the potential to activate inflammatory response. Bromelain can also treat diarrhea.
5.The combination of bromelain with various antibiotics (such as tetracycline, amoxicillin, etc.) can improve its curative effect.
1.baked food:When bromelain is added into the dough, it can degrade the gluten, and the dough can be processed easily after being softened. And can improve the taste and quality of biscuits and bread.
2.Cheese: coagulation of casein.
3.Meat tenderization: the macromolecular protein of meat is hydrolyzed by bromelain into small molecular amino acids and proteins that are easy to absorb. It can be widely used in finishing meat products.
4.The application of bromelain in other food processing industries.
5.The application of bromelain in medicine and health food industry.
