Bromelain According to Alternative Medicine Review (2010)‚ bromelain is a general name for the family of sulfhydryl-containing proteolytic enzymes obtained from the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). Aside from the primary component of bromelain which is the sulfhydryl proteolytic enzyme‚ it also contains of different elements that makes it of more beneficial. One of the components includes escharase which is a non-proteolytic substance in bromelain that is essential in the action of topical bromelain

What is it? Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple juice and in the pineapple stem. People use it for medicine. Bromelain is used for reducing swelling (inflammation)‚ especially of the nose and sinuses‚ after surgery or injury. It is also used for hay fever‚ treating a bowel condition that includes swelling and ulcers (ulcerative colitis)‚ removing dead and damaged tissue after a burn (debridement)‚ preventing the collection of water in the lung (pulmonary edema)‚ relaxing muscles‚ stimulating

it can help cure athlete’s foot and other foot fungus. Vinegar will also kill the existing bacteria and fungus. Pineapple also contains medicinal properties; it contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain‚ which helps in the digestion of protein. Pineapple can prevent blood clot formation because of its bromelain content. This study can also help the society because of the fact that this vinegar will be cheaper but it’s as effective as the commercially available one. The production of pineapple

There are many factors that affect the rate of reaction of bromelain on jello‚ these include pH‚ temperature and substrate concentration. In this demonstration‚ we were able to assess the effect of substrate concentration of pineapple (Containing bromelain) on jello. Our results showed that the relationship between rate of reaction and the change in mass of the jello is proportional. This can be seen that the higher the change in mass of jello‚ it would demonstrate a higher reaction rate‚ as the

decided to use not one but two enzymes to observe what happens to the different kind of enzymes when introduced to different PH (power of hydrogen) scales. the best way to test this was to put the enzyme bromelain in gelatine because bromelain affects gelatine. If added to the gelatine‚ the bromelain in pineapples will prevent the gelatine from setting. However‚ different circumstances

shape by uncoiling‚ giving it a random‚ unstructured shape. The pineapple plant contains bromelain which‚ because of its unique characteristics‚ keeps gelatin from thickening into the solid‚ commonly consumed food. That bromelain contains two enzymes that have the capability to digest proteins (proteases). Gelatin receives its structure from collagen (an important protein that provides structure within bromelain)‚ in which

Gelatin Abstract: Fresh pineapple is known for not being able to gel and this experiment is aimed to figure out why. Bromelain is an enzyme the breaks the chains in proteins making them inactive and pineapple are known for having it. In this experiment we tested other factors that pineapple contain to pin point what the culprit was. It was discovered the Bromelain was actually the reason that fresh pineapple won’t gel but if you boil the pineapple or pasteurize it‚ it denatures the enzyme

The Effect that the Enzyme Bromelain has on the Substrate Gelatin Sarah Kunik 10-5-12 Period 2 Introduction Enzymes are proteins that are catalysts which aid in the reactions that occur in everyday life‚ everywhere. Each enzyme has a specific function to do a specific job. The molecule that an enzyme works on is called a substrate. In order for an enzyme to properly do its job‚ the substrate has to move to the active site which is the exact shape for the particular enzyme in that it binds

If a canned and fresh pineapple chunk were placed on separate petri dishes with jello‚ then the state of the jello would be similar because both pineapple samples contain bromelain‚ a protein digesting enzyme. Jello consists of collagen‚ which can be found in animal bones and tendons‚ therefore classifying jello as a protein. By maintaining contact between the pineapple and the jello‚ the hypothesis was tested through creating
