Bromelain

Sovellukset
Bromelain enzyme powder is widely used in meat tenderization, protein hydrolysis and functional protein modification in processed meat, poultry and plant-based formulations. In brewing, wine and juice processing, it supports protein breakdown to improve clarity, reduce chill haze and optimize filtration performance. Nutraceutical and supplement manufacturers use high-activity bromelain bulk powder (e.g., 400,000–1,200,000 U/g, 2,500 GDU) for tablet, capsule and sachet production. It is also applied in specialty feed and fermentation processes where controlled proteolysis improves digestibility and overall process efficiency.
