Description

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme complex derived from the pineapple plant (*Ananas comosus*), known for its ability to break down proteins. This versatile biochemical is highly valued for its anti-inflammatory, digestive, and debriding properties, making it a critical ingredient in various health and industrial applications. Key industries that rely on Bromelain include pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food & beverage processing, and cosmetics, where it serves as a natural processing aid and active therapeutic agent.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Formulations: Used as an active ingredient in digestive aid supplements, anti-inflammatory medications, and wound care products for its enzymatic debridement action.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Employed as a natural meat tenderizer, a clarifying agent for beer and fruit juices, and a dough conditioner in baking.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare products for its exfoliating and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to reduce swelling and improve skin texture.
• Research & Diagnostic Use: Utilized in biochemical research and laboratory settings for protein digestion and cell dissociation procedures.
• Industrial Processing: Acts as a processing aid in the leather tanning industry and in the production of protein hydrolysates.

Quality Control

Our Bromelain is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the required specifications for your application. We offer grades compliant with relevant standards such as Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP), where applicable. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing activity, purity, and microbiological limits are available upon request to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability, as the product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For short-term use, storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable if the container remains sealed. Keep away from excessive heat and moisture to maintain enzymatic activity.
