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.

Does canned pineapple contain bromelain?
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.

Why is fresh pineapple not used in gelatin desserts?
Pineapples contain an enzyme that is used to aid digestion and to tenderize meat, which will not only be tender but will likely fall apart. This is the reason that fresh pineapple cannot be used in gelatin desserts as it will break down the protein in the gelatin. Since heating destroys this enzyme, gelatin desserts are successfully made using canned pineapple. Bromelain is a proteolytic (protein-dissolving) enzyme similar to papain in unripe papaya and ficin in fresh figs. It can be so strong that plantation and cannery workers must wear rubber gloves to prevent their hands from being eaten away. The enzyme has also proven to break down many harmful proteins and may well play an important role in thrombosis treatments in the future. Thrombosis is a blockage of blood vessels by clots and are responsible for a significant number of deaths each year. Heart attacks are most often the result of blockage in the blood vessels serving the heart, while strokes are the result of similar blockages in the vessels of the brain. The damage done from these clots is caused largely by a protein called fibrin, which bromelain is able to break down. Progress in this area is slow, however, as the medical establishment is still reluctant to admit that diet plays any significant part in illness or recovery. Bromelain is extracted mainly from the stems of pineapple, although it is also present in the fruit and leaves.
Ingredients
- 1 lg Fresh pineapple
- 2 c Cooked long-grain white rice
- 1 oz Chinese dried mushrooms
- 1 sm Onion; finely chopped
- 2 tb Oil, preferably peanut
- 1/4 lb Chinese long beans
- (OR Green Beans), -trimmed and diced 2 Eggs
- 2 tb Dark soy sauce
- 1 tb Fish sauce (optional)
CAREFULLY CUT OFF and save the pineapple top, leaving about 1-inch of the pineapple under the leaves. Scoop out the inside fruit leaving the skin of the pineapple whole to use as a bowl for the fried rice. Coarsely chop the pineapple meat. Soak the dried mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes until they are soft. Squeeze the excess liquid from the mushrooms and remove and discard their stems. Cut the caps into small dice. Heat a wok or large frying pan until it is hot. Then add the oil and wait until it is almost smoking. Add the mushrooms, onions, beans and stir-fry for one minute. Mix in the cooked rice and stir-fry it for one minute. Add the eggs, soy sauce and fish sauce and continue to stir-fry for five minutes over high heat. Add the chopped pineapple and continue to stir-fry for about two minutes. Scoop the mixture into the hollowed-out pineapple shell, replace the top and serve the remaining rice on a platter.
You have spelled it correctly, pineapples. The name comes from "pine" and "apple", forming a compound word. (Originally what are now called pine cones were called pine apples or pineapples, and the similar appearance of the fruit led to the name.)
