TianJia Food Additive Manufacturer Bromelain

Bromelain is a sulfhydryl protease extracted from pineapple juice and peel. Light yellow amorphous powder, slightly peculiar odor. The molecular weight is 33000. The optimum pH values for casein, hemoglobin and baee were 6-8 and 5.0 for gelatin. The enzyme activity was inhibited by heavy metals. It is slightly soluble in water, but insoluble in ethanol, acetone, chloroform and ether. It preferentially hydrolyzes the peptide chain on the carboxyl side of basic amino acids (such as arginine) or aromatic amino acids (such as phenylalanine and tyrosine), selectively hydrolyzes fibrin, and can decompose muscle fiber, but has little effect on fibrinogen. It can be used for beer clarification, medicinal digestion, anti-inflammatory and detumescence.
