| Abstract: | Bromelain is an enzyme obtained from the stem of the pineapple plant (genus Ananas) even though it can be found in all other parts of the fresh pineapple. Bromelain is a white to tan powder which is soluble in water and shows stability at temperatures of 50-60 °C (122-140 °F). As an ingredient it found its uses in cosmetics, meat tenderizer as well as topical medication. 'Bromelain' can refer to either of the two protease enzymes extracted from plants which belong to Bromeliaceae or it can be related to a whole mixture of those enzymes together with other compounds produced within an extract. Bromelain enzymes are named fruit bromelain and stem bromelain respectively. |
