Pure Natural Ananas Comosus Bromelain Extract Powder
Products Description
A Non-GMO purified, highly active, soluble proteolytic enzyme derived from the mature pineapple
plant stems of the Bromeliceae family (Ananas Comosus).
Physical Properties
A tan to light brown colored free-flowing powder with typical bromelain odor. It is readily soluble in water, the solution being somewhat opalescent due to nonenzymatic particles that are less soluble. Insoluble in alcohol, chloroform and ether. It has a sharp latex odor and mild taste.
Enzymatic Properties
The effective pH range is 4.0 to 9.0 with the optimum dependent upon the substrate being treated.
For example, the optimum pH is 6.0 for casein and 5.0 for gelatin. The effective temperature range is 40ºC to 65ºC with the optimum being 50ºC to 60ºC.
Activity
Bromelain can be assayed by measuring digestion action on substrates such as casein, gelatin, or nonfat dry milk and the activity is expressed as CDU (Casein Digestion Unit), GDU (Gelatin Digestion Unit), MCU (Milk Digestion Unit) or FCC Botanical Protease Units. The acceptance criteria for allenzyme assays is: NLT 85.0% and NMT 115.0% of the declared units of enzyme activity.*
