The ingredients for meat tenderizers is: salt, dextrose, bromelain, tricalcium phosphate, hydrogenated soybean and cottenseed oil.
According to "Yahoo Answers" meat tenderizers contain proteases which help that break down proteins, histones.
Today, we did a lab in our Biology class. In the lab we used oninons to extract DNA. Luckily, my group did really well this time - WITHOUT messing the labs (as we usually do). *clap clap - cheer*
Anyhow, we are also trying to answer our lab quesitons, and happened to stumble upon your question - or this quesiton rather as i don't know who posed the question.
Once again, refer to "Yahoo Answers" as it has a detailed answer to the question.

∙ 12y agoMeat tenderizer does not in itself extract DNA. Tenderizer is an enzyme ( usually a bromeliad) which helps break down the proteins in the cell.

What is the role of enzyme in the DNA extraction lab?
When the soap is added, the enzymes in the detergent will break down the lipids in the cell membrane like soap would do to a greasy pan. Also, in the meat tenderizer portion of the lab, the enzymes in the tenderizer will break down the proteins.
What is the molecule that fruit lacks that prevents it to have to have tenderizer be put on it to perform DNA extraction?
Calcium
What role does a cheese cloth play in DNA extraction?
It plays a role.
What is the role of NaCl in DNA precipitation?
roll of Na CL in DNA extraction
Role of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in plasmid DNA extraction?
The actual role of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in a plasmid DNA extraction is to purify the DNA. The alcohol will act in part as a detergent.

lyses cells
Role of saline tris edta in DNA extraction?
Its purpose is to isolate DNA from a protein mixture.
Role of tris in extraction of DNA?
To give the solution buffering capacity.
What is the role of beta-mercaptoethanol in DNA extraction?

What is the role of hot water bath in DNA extraction?
This question gave me cancer.
What is the role of heat in DNA extraction?
Heat anneals DNA strand i.e. separate two strands of DNA to build anti-codon to desired DNA strand
