Abstract—Developing our knowledge of when pineapple roots grow can lead to improved water, fertilizer applications, and more precise culture management. This paper presents current understanding of morphological traits in pineapple roots, highlighting studies using incubation periods and various solid MS media treated with different sucrose concentrations and pH, which directly assess in vitro ...

Methods Stem Br (Vital Nutrients lot # 2890; Middletown, CT), was tested for authenticity and purity. Female C57BL/6J mice, (Jackson Laboratory; Bar Harbor, ME) received one bolus, i.p. injection of Br (12mg/kg) in 0.5ml of physiological saline and plasma collected at baseline 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours. All procedures were approved by the Animal Care Committee at University of CT Health Center. Pos...

Pineapple (Ananas comosus), Bromeliaceae family, is a fruit grows in tropical countries including Malaysia. This fruit has several pharmacological benefits due to the presence of high concentration of bromelain (cysteine proteases). Condition of elevated temperature will induce deformation of enzyme and result in loss of activity. Sulfhydryl groups in cysteine proteases are readily to be oxidiz...

This study was conducted to develop a method for improving tenderness and overall qualities of tough wild boar meat used to dry sausage production with direct addition of raw pineapple (Ananas comosus), mango (Mangifera indica), kiwifruit fuzzy kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa), or ginger (Zingiber officinale roscoe ginger rhizome) juices contained a plant proteolytic enzyme. Dry-sausages were subject...

The usefulness of Ananas comosus (pineapple) is not limited its fruits. This study aims to explore the removal glucose, which are present in clinical waste by pineapple leaf biosorbents derived through three pre-treatment methods. Particle size analysis showed smallest particle were from steam pre-treated and largest particles 5% alkali biosorbents. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy that ...
