- Bromelain is a
mixture of sulfur-containing protein-digesting enzymes—called
proteolytic enzymes or proteases—and several other substances in smaller
quantities. The two main enzymes are : stem bromelain , fruit
bromelain.
- Bromelain is a
digestive enzyme found in the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant. It
enhances the absorption of nutrients from foods, supplements and
probiotics. . Bromelain works specifically on protein and, unlike other
protein digestive enzymes, it works effectively in all the acid and
alkaline conditions found throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The
clumping of blood platelets is inhibited in Bromelain. Tissue
permeability is also increased by Bromelain. Bromelain (also referred to
as bromelian) is an enzyme capable of digesting protein and is present
in pineapple stems and ripe or unripe pineapple fruits. For this reason
it is also referred to as the pineapple enzyme.
- Whole pineapples
were separated into three parts (fruit/core, peel and proliferating
top), diced, and pressed to obtain juices which were further homogenized
separately at 5, 10, 15 or 20 MPa for 3 minutes. Bromelain was extracted
from the homogenized juices using ultrafiltration, ammonium sulfate
precipitation, centrifugation, dialysis and freeze-drying processes.
Yield and activity of extracted bromelain were determined.
- Researchers believed
that these enzymes provided the key health benefits found in bromelain,
a popular dietary supplement containing these pineapple extracts. In
addition, researchers believed that these benefits were primarily
limited to help with digestion in the intestinal tract. However, further
studies have shown that bromelain has a wide variety of health benefits,
and that many of these benefits may not be related to the different
enzymes found in this extract. Excessive inflammation, excessive
coagulation of the blood, and certain types of tumor growth may all be
reduced by therapeutic doses of bromelain when taken as a dietary
supplement. Studies are not available, however, to show these same
potential benefits in relationship to normal intake of pineapple within
a normal meal plan.
- The
protein-digesting enzymes found in bromelain help promote and maintain
proper digestion and may relieve symptoms of stomach upset or heartburn,
particularly when used in conjunction with other enzymes such as amylase
(which digests starch) and lipase (which digests fat). Similarly, an
animal study suggests that the antibacterial effects of bromelain may
help to control diarrhea caused by bacteria.
- Bromelain is useful
in the treatment of a wide range of conditions, but it is particularly
effective in relieving inflammation associated with infection and
physical injuries . Studies have shown that bromelain may help in the
treatment of Surgical Procedures and Sports Injuries ,
Wounds and Burns , Nasal and Sinus Congestion , Digestion
, Arthritis and other Inflammatory Conditions , Infection,
Amyloidosis
- There is a lot of opportunity in enzyme sector as industry
leaders put the value of the global industrial enzyme market, including
applications in food and animal feed, detergents, textiles, pulp and
paper, leather and manufacture of chemicals at $1.6 billion to $2
billion. The fastest growing markets are fuel ethanol, animal feed and
food enzymes
- Investment of USD
80 Millions is required for producing 50 MT of Bromelain per year, from
2,320 metric tons of pineapple stems.
