Bromelain is a mixture of cysteine endopeptidase usually extracted from pineapple juice and used for the treatment various human diseases in industrial applications. demand quickly increasing, its recovery residues appears to be sustainable waste management strategy. Pineapple core among most significant materials production canned richer bromelain than other residues. In this project, we compa...

Bromelain, an extract from the pineapple plant, has been demonstrated to show anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and may provide a safer alternative or adjunctive treatment for osteoarthritis. All previous trials, which have been uncontrolled or comparative studies, indicate its potential use for the treatment of osteoarthritis. This paper reviews the mechanism of its putative therapeut...

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...

Background Bromelain is the generic name given to the set of derived endopeptidases belonging to members of the Bromeliaceae family, which belongs to the pineapple (Ananas comosus), being able to break the peptide bond, separating proteins and amino acids [1]. Bromelain possesses a wide range of therapeutic benefit as property of facilitating digestion of proteins, meat softening, ability to fa...

Bioactivities of bulk fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) from defatted salmon backbones obtained with eight different commercial enzymes and their combinations were tested. All FPH showed antioxidative activity in vitro. DPPH scavenging activity increased, while iron chelating ability decreased with increasing time of hydrolysis. All FPH showed ACE inhibiting effect which depended on type of enzym...

This article reviews various forms of enzyme supplementation used clinically in digestive and absorption disorders. Enzyme supplementation plays an integral role in the management of various digestive disorders, particularly with regard to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. However, application of enzymes may also be beneficial for other conditions associated with poor digestion including lacto...

Considerable amounts of fish processing by-products are discarded each year. About 30% this material may be skin and bone. Fish has more than 80% its total protein content as collagen. Furthermore, in recent years, there been a growing demand for collagen-based peptides due to their beneficial health effects. So, the objective present study was optimise obtaining bioactive hydrolysates from sal...

Abstract: Background: As per the International Diabetes Federation statistics 2019, about 463 million people aged between 20-79 years have diabetes, in which mortality of 1.6 individuals been recorded each year, especially developing and economically impoverished countries. Despite people’s equal access to basic facilities appropriate healthcare systems lifesaving drugs, it is desirable acceler...
