Pineapple, mango, guava, and kiwi all do not solidify in Jell-O. They do this because all of them contain a protein in a class called protease. Protease is a protein that can break up most other proteins. I this case, they break up the Gelatin in jell-o, which stops it from solidifying. (A tip for making jell-o: If you would like to use a fruit that you know has protease in it, then just cook it. Cooking the fruit inactivates the protease, allowing the jell-o to set).

∙ 12y agoBecause pineapples contain proteases, enzymes that break down proteins. Since jello mixes are mostly made of collagen from animal parts, or proteins, pineapples break them down to their simplest forms. When you boil pineapple, it denatures the protease and you should be able to make pineapple jello then.

∙ 12y agoawkward question, but i'll answer it:)
There is NO impossible way to add pineapple to jello, so I really don't know why you CAN'T add it to jello, I did it before, awesomeness and tasty:) try it!

∙ 11y agoPineapple contains a defensive chemical called bromelain which containes two enzymes, called proteases, that break down the collagenous (protein) bonds in the Jell-O.

Can you make Jell-o using fresh pineapples instead of canned pineapples?
No, the enzymes in fresh pineapple prevent the jello from gelling.
How could you successfully make jello with pineapple in it?
You have to cook the pineapple first. Jello won't solidify if you add fresh pineapple.Because pineapples contain proteases, enzymes that break down proteins. Since jello mixes are mostly made of collagen from animal parts, or proteins, pineapples break them down to their simplest forms. When you boil pineapple, it denatures the protease and you should be able to make pineapple jello then.

How to make jello with canned pineapple?
you cant -_-
Can you make jello using frozen pineapples?
No you cannot make jello with frozen pineapples because the pineapple, like kiwi fruit, contains an enzyme that will break down the proteins such as the collagen in gelatin, which will prevent the jello from setting.More information:You can use frozen pineapple to make jello provided it's been cooked before freezing.If it wasn't cooked, then you will have to cook it before making jello. Just cut it to the size you want for your dessert, cover it with pineapple juice, and microwave until hot and steaming. Refrigerate till it's cooled, then make your jello as usual.Frozen pineapply will be softer once cooked than if you started with fresh, unfrozen pineapple.
Why won't fresh pineapples solidify?
Pineapples are actually reasonably solid. The question may mean, "Why can't you make fresh pineapple jello?" Enzymes in the pineapple prevent protein molecules from "setting up" into the (semi)solid gelatin.
What would happen if you made jello without water?
