1. Application of bromelain in food processing industry
Baked goods: Bromelain is added to the dough to degrade the gluten, and the dough is softened for easy processing. And can improve the taste and quality of biscuits and bread.
Cheese: used for the coagulation of casein.
Meat tenderization: Bromelain hydrolyzes the macromolecular protein of meat protein into easily absorbed small molecular amino acid and protein. It can be widely used in the finishing of meat products.
The application of bromelain in other food processing industries, some people have used bromelain to increase the PDI value and NSI value of soy cake and soy flour, so as to produce soluble protein products and breakfast, cereals and beverages containing soy flour. Others include producing dehydrated beans, baby food and margarine; clarifying apple juice; making gummies; providing digestible food for patients; adding flavor to everyday foods.
2. Application of bromelain in medicine and health care products industry
Inhibit the growth of tumor cells
Clinical studies have shown that bromelain can inhibit the growth of tumor cells.
Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease
Bromelain as a proteolytic enzyme is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It inhibits heart attacks and strokes caused by platelet aggregation, relieves symptoms of angina, eases arterial constriction, and accelerates the breakdown of fibrinogen.
3. For burn and scab removal
Bromelain can selectively exfoliate the skin so that new skin transplantation can be carried out as soon as possible. Animal experiments have shown that bromelain has no adverse effect on adjacent normal skin. Topical antibiotics did not affect the effects of bromelain.
4. Anti-inflammatory effect
Bromelain can effectively treat inflammation and edema in various tissues (including thrombophlebitis, skeletal muscle injury, hematoma, stomatitis, diabetic ulcer and sports injury), and bromelain has the potential to activate the inflammatory response. Bromelain also treats diarrhea.
5. Improve drug absorption
Combining bromelain with various antibiotics (such as tetracycline, amoxicillin, etc.) can improve its efficacy. Relevant studies have shown that it can promote the transmission of antibiotics at the site of infection, thereby reducing the amount of antibiotics administered. It is inferred that for anticancer drugs, there is a similar effect. In addition, bromelain promotes the absorption of nutrients.
