Bromelain is a natural enzyme, extracted from the stems of pineapples by biotechnology. It can hydrolyze most soluble protein easily and efficiently, improve the nutritional value of the plants and the animal protein.
The food grade bromelain enzyme used in National Enzyme Company products is a mixture of enzymes isolated from both the ripe and unripe fruit as well as the stem of the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus. Bromelain contains several proteolytic enzymes that differ in their specificity and optimum environments. Bromelain breaks down proteins to form peptides and amino acids with preferential cleavage of peptide bonds where the carbonyl group is from either a basic amino acid or an aromatic amino acid.
