Pineapple Enzyme Powder

Whatsapp Order

Pineapple Enzyme Powder is a fine, light-colored powder derived from the fruit and stem of the pineapple (Ananas comosus), containing the proteolytic enzyme bromelain. It is produced via extraction and subsequent drying (usually spray or freeze-drying) to preserve enzymatic activity. Known for its protein-digesting, anti-inflammatory, and exfoliating properties, this enzyme is widely used across food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.
