  • 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.
