Bromelain is extracted from the pineapple stem, the main fruit contains very little bromelain.
Also Bromelain is heat labile (destroyed by heat). As the canning process involves heating the canned produce at very high temperatures for a few seconds the small amount of bromelain that may be present would be destroyed.
What else can I help you with?
What are some fruits that contain bromelain?
the stem of the pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain.
What difference is there in the function of bromelain fresh and canned pineapple juice?
Canned pineapple is pasteurized so the bromelain enzyme, which has a number of health related applications, is denatured and no longer has the same healthful properties as the fresh pineapple juice. Some people are allergic to bromelain and exposure can be lethal.Possible health properties are as an anticoagulant, immune stimulant, mucus thinner, improved wound healing and anti-inflammatory product.
Why does fresh pineapple juice stop jello from setting?
Fresh pineapple juice contains the enzyme bromelain, which breaks down proteins. When added to gelatin, bromelain prevents the protein strands in the gelatin from forming a stable network, which is essential for the jello to set. In contrast, canned pineapple juice is safe to use because the canning process destroys the bromelain enzyme.
What are the common names of bromelain?
Common names for bromelain include pineapple enzyme, pineapple extract, and Ananase.
Although the canned version is fine what fresh fruit is a bad mix with Jell-O on account of an enzyme called bromelain?
Pineapple
what is the amount of bromelain in 8 oz of pineapple juice?
The amount of bromelain in pineapple juice can vary depending on the type of pineapple and how the juice is processed. On average, fresh pineapple juice contains about 20 milligrams of bromelain per 100 grams. Since 8 ounces (approximately 240 grams) of pineapple juice would contain roughly 48 milligrams of bromelain, this is a general estimate and can vary. For precise amounts, it's best to refer to specific product labeling or scientific studies.
What is the important of pineapple?
bromelain is the main component of pineapple.
Does jello solidify with pineapple juice and acid?
Jello does not solidify properly when mixed with fresh pineapple juice because it contains bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down the proteins in gelatin, preventing it from setting. However, canned pineapple juice is safe to use because the canning process deactivates the enzyme. Additionally, the acidity of pineapple juice does not interfere with gelatin setting, but it's the bromelain that is the primary concern. If you want to use fresh pineapple, you can heat it to deactivate the enzyme before mixing it with Jello.
What nutritional value is in a pineapple?
The active ingredients of bromelain are found in the juice and stem of the pineapple plant, but the stem contains more bromelain than the fruit.
Does Pineapple aid implantation?
Pineapple is supposed to have an ingredient that helps thicken the uterine lining. There are various threads on the Internet regarding eating pineapple, but nothing really specific about how much or how it is prepared. One user did, however, comment that it is acidic and when she ate too much of a good thing, her mouth was sore for a week. [zmandel] I know that pineapple contains the enzime Bromelain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromelain) , which can act as a blood thinner. Another blood thinner, Aspirin, is used in fertility treatments (http://www.sharedjourney.com/articles/aspirin.html) to improve circulation. This may increase blood suply to the necessary areas the body needs for implantation. Regarding bromelain, it is mostly on the stem of the pineapple. Canned pineapple has no bromelain because it has been heated, so the fruit has to be eaten fresh. Another note: Must be eaten with empty stomach, otherwise the bromelain is not absorbed by the blood, and instead, being an enzime, will aid to digest the food in your stomach. [/zmandel]
What enzyme does fresh pineapple containe?

What are the active medicinal properties of bromelain?
