To juice pineapple effectively for maximum flavor and nutrition, first, choose a ripe pineapple with a sweet aroma. Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Cut the pineapple into small pieces and blend them in a juicer or blender. Strain the juice to remove any pulp. Enjoy the fresh pineapple juice immediately to retain its nutrients and flavor.
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.
Heated pineapple juice tends to lose some of its fresh flavor and aroma due to the breakdown of volatile compounds during heating. Additionally, the heat can reduce certain nutrients, particularly vitamin C, which is sensitive to heat. In contrast, fresh pineapple juice retains its full spectrum of flavors and nutritional benefits, providing a more vibrant taste and higher nutrient content. Therefore, while heated juice may offer some benefits, it generally lacks the freshness and nutritional value of fresh juice.
I suspect you're thinking of bromelain.
Clarified pineapple juice is a natural pineapple juice which gets filtered to remove the pulp. The taste and texture of clarified pineapple juice is more refined. Many brands prefer to have a clarified pineapple juice for canning purposes.
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.
To juice a pineapple effectively, first, remove the skin and core of the pineapple. Cut the pineapple into small pieces and place them in a blender or juicer. Blend or juice the pineapple until smooth. Strain the juice to remove any pulp, if desired. Enjoy your freshly made pineapple juice!
you could make it into juice and then add it to the jello.
