Food Grade Protease Bromelain Enzyme Powder Extract Pineapple
The product is a plant protease preparation extracted and purified from the skin, flesh, or/and stem of the pineapple. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of protein into low molecular peptides and amino acids, which can be used in the food industry, health product, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry.
Introduction
Bromelain is a thiol proteinase, i.e., it contains in the active center highly reactive cysteine groups that are essential for its function. This enzyme hydrolyzes high molecular proteins into easily absorbable small peptides and amino acids.

Application
Food Industry
- Baking: It can be added into dough to modify the gluten network and soften the dough, and thus improves sensory properties of biscuits and bread.
- Cheese: as the coagulant during cheese processing.
- Meat: tenderizer for meat.
- Increase the PDI and NSI values of soybean cake and soybean meal.
Pharmaceuticals and Health Care Industry
- Tumor cell inhibitor.
- Cardiovascular disease treatment.
- Burn treatment.
- Stabilizer for pharmaceutical products and promoter for pharmaceutical absorption.
Beauty and Cosmetics Industry
- Skin Care: maintain the elasticity of skin, remove dead skin or skin dark spots, and help recover sun-burnt skin.
Feed Industry
- Either as an additive or dietary supplement for feed to greatly improve feed digestibility.
Recommended Dosage
The recommended dosage is 0.01-0.5kg/t DS. The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation, and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the convenient volume.

Safety
Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic types of symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes, or nasal mucosa. Any direct contact with the human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor.
