Isolation and Purification of Bromelain from Waste Peel of Pineapple for Therapeutic Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work was to isolate and purify bromelain extracted from the pineapple peel by ammonium sulfate precipitation (40-80%), followed by desalting and freeze-drying with a 75% activity recovery and 2.2 fold increased specific activity. Ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose was able to separate the polysaccharides from the enzyme, which was recovered in the elution step, maintaining its enzymatic activity. The batch adsorption of bromelain was evaluated in terms of total protein and enzymatic activity using Langmuir and Langmuir-Freundlich models. Results showed that the process could be suitable for the recovery and purification of the enzyme, maintaining its specific activity.

Partitioning of bromelain from pineapple peel (Nang Lae cultv.) by aqueous two phase system
Pineapple peel is a potential source for the extraction of beneficial bioactive compounds due to the large amount of waste after processing. The extraction of bromelain from pineapple peel by using aqueous two-phase system (ATPs) and its application in muscle models were investigated. Bromelain predominantly partitions to the polyethylene glycol (PEG) rich top phase. The highest enzyme activity...

In the present work an environmentally friendly recycling system to peel away the base coat from the X-ray film by using an enzyme was developed. Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the waste apex of pineapple was used for stripping the silver layer on the exposed film by hydrolysis of gelatin. The collected film can be reused for the manufacturing of X-ray film or other materials li...

Brazil produces over than 70,000 ha of pineapple, being the world leader in pineapple production, and Minas Gerais State alone produces over than 600 kt/y. The pineapple is the marketable plant part, which represents only 23 % of the plant itself, and the remaining plant, stem, leaves, bark and crown, being considered an agroindustrial residue. This residue contains great amount of bromelain, a...
