Bromelain The proteolytic enzyme from pineapple breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids Bromelain from NewIngredients is a natural, proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. It is primarily extracted from the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant. The plant material is extracted, purified, and concentrated to create a highly active enzyme preparation. About Bromelain Benefits Applications Packaging & sizes Service Certifications Inquire now What function does Bromelain perform? Bromelain belongs to the group of cysteine proteases and is characterized by its high activity and versatile applicability in food processing. It has GRAS status (Generally Recognized As Safe) in many countries. How Bromelain works Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that specifically breaks down proteins into smaller components. This makes it function like a highly efficient “protein cutter” that can optimize processes in food production. Use in meat, beverages, and baked goods In meat, Bromelain breaks down muscle and connective tissue structures, making the product significantly more tender. In beverages and juices, it degrades haze-forming proteins and contributes to a clearer, more stable appearance. In baked goods, Bromelain improves dough extensibility and tolerance through moderate protein breakdown, thereby enhancing the texture of the final product. Technical properties Reaction time:few minutes to approximately 1 hour, application-dependent Dosage:low application levels sufficient Storage:cool, dry, protected from moisture Inactivation:through heat exposure during the process pH range:active between pH 4–8 Temperature optimum:45–60 °C Your benefits Halal, kosher, V-Label certified and tested according to all EU regulations Plant-based enzyme for clean-label products without E numbers Improves texture, tenderness, and juiciness of protein-rich foods Increases yield and reduces waste in production Stabilizes and clarifies protein-containing beverages and juices Reliable across wide pH and temperature range, promotes a harmonious flavor profile Applications Bromelain offers a broad range of applications across various food categories thanks to its targeted proteolytic action. Whether for improving texture, stability, flavor, or processability – the enzyme enables precise control of protein-related properties and thus contributes to higher-quality, more consistent, and sensorially appealing products.

Bromelain is used wherever proteins need to be specifically broken down or modified – especially in meat processing, beverages, baked goods, for hydrolysates, or to improve the consistency of dairy and gelatin products. What function does Bromelain perform? Bromelain breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This makes meat more tender, beverages more stable, doughs more pliable, and protein raw materials easier to hydrolyze. What benefits does Bromelain offer? It works across a wide pH and temperature range, is highly efficient and easy to dose. Producers benefit from improved texture, higher yield, shortened process times, and a natural, plant-based enzyme profile. Frequently asked questions from food producers Can Bromelain be easily integrated into existing production processes? Yes. It works under moderate conditions and can usually be integrated without major process adjustments. Adjustments typically only concern contact time and dosage. Does the use of Bromelain affect taste or flavor? In most applications, the flavor profile remains unchanged. Only in hydrolysis processes are savory-umami notes intentionally created. In meat, baked goods, or beverages, Bromelain does not impair taste. Does the enzyme remain active in the finished product? No. During the production process, Bromelain is inactivated – for example, by heat. No residual activity remains in the final product. Are there regulatory requirements? Bromelain is approved as an enzyme in many countries and has GRAS status. However, different labeling requirements apply depending on the country, such as whether it is considered a processing aid. How stable is Bromelain during storage and processing? Bromelain is relatively stable but loses its activity when exposed to moisture or excessively high temperatures. Within the recommended pH and temperature ranges, it delivers reliable and reproducible results. Ready for stable processes with Bromelain?
