Bromelain

Applications
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.

Specifications & Industrial Use
CAS numbers include 37189-34-7 and 9001-00-7. Activity ranges from 50,000 U/g up to 1,200,000 U/g, with selected grades expressed in GDU (e.g., 400 GDU, 2,500 GDU); supplied as light yellow powder derived from pineapple stem via filtration and purification processes. Food grade and pharmaceutical grade material is available, suitable for scale-up, contract manufacturing and industrial production environments with standard dry storage and 24‑month shelf life under recommended conditions.
