Application

Bromelain from pineapple stem has been used:
  • to evaluate the aqueous micellar two-phase systems composed of ionic liquids as co-surfactants[1]
  • as a positive control in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) / polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and in cells proliferation assay[2]
  • to study its potential analgesic effect and to evaluate its hydrolyzingeffects on proenkephalin (PENK)-derived peptides containing enkephalin sequences[3]

Bromelain may be used to inhibit the biosysnthesis of proinflammatory prostaglandins. It may be used to reduce clotting efficiency. Bromelain, from pineapple stem, has been used to make enzymatic hydrolysates of honeybee-collected pollen [4].

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bromelain is a cysteine endopeptidase with broad specificity for cleavage of proteins. Bromelain may be from a stem or piece of fruit. Product B4882 is from pineapple stem. Product P3169 (pGlu-Phe-Leu-p-nitroanilide) may be used as a chromogenic substrate for the assay of bromelain.

Preparation Note

The product may be suspended in acetate buffer, pH 4.5 at 1 mg/mL concentration, yielding a hazy, off-white suspension.

Other Notes

One unit will release 1.0 micromole of p-nitrophenol from N-alpha-CBZ-L-Lysine p-nitrophenyl ester per minute at pH 4.6 at 25 °C. One old titrimetric unit (pH 4.5 at 45 °C) is equivalent to approximately 1.7 new units (pH 4.6 at 25 °C).

Questions

  1. I WILL USE BROMELAIN (B4882-10G ).IN A RESEARCH PROJECT. BROMELAIN IS COMPOSED OF MANY ENZYMES. THEY WERE ASKED WHAT the PROPERTIES AND CONTENT OF THE BROMELAIN YOU USE. I WOULD BE HAPPY IF YOU HELPED ME WITH

    1 answer
    1. The properties and content of this product have not been determined. The percentage of protein is lot specific. The Certificate of Analysis (CoA) provides information on the quality control release tests.
