Abstract:Bromelain is a potential proteolytic enzyme present in various parts of pineapple, having industrial importance with a wide range of applications. Present study focused on extraction, isolation, and purification of bromelain from pineapple peels waste as a feedstock. The proximate analysis of pineapple peel waste depicts the presence of about 7% protein in pineapple peel waste. Thus, several commercially available buffers were explored for the extraction of bromelain from pineapple peel. Of the tested buffers,… Show more
