Bromelain, also known as pineapple enzyme, is extracted from the stem, leaves and skin of pineapple, and is a pure natural plant protease obtained through refining, purification, concentration, enzyme immobilization and freeze drying. It has a light grey powder appearance. The best quality bromelain is obtained by processing the middle stem of pineapple, filtering and concentrating by ultrafiltration, and low temperature freeze drying. The product has been widely used in food, medicine and other industries.
Bromelain contains rich nutrients and medicinal effects. Here is a brief introduction:
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from pineapple juice. It is used as an anti-edema and anti-inflammatory drug. It can enhance the hydrolysis of fibrin in the body, dissolve fibrin and blood clots that block tissues, thereby improving local circulation and eliminating inflammation and edema. It can be used in combination with antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs to promote the penetration and diffusion of drugs into lesions.
1. Nutritional ingredients:
Pineapple meat contains fat, protein, carbohydrates, crude fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, niacin and organic acid. Pineapple contains a substance called "bromelain", which can decompose protein, dissolve fibrin and blood clots blocked in tissues, improve local blood circulation, and eliminate inflammation and edema; the sugar, salts and enzymes contained in pineapple have a diuretic effect, and proper consumption is beneficial to patients with nephritis and hypertension; pineapple is sweet and flat in nature, and has the functions of strengthening the stomach and digestion, tonifying the spleen and stopping diarrhea, clearing the stomach and quenching thirst.
2. Medicinal effects:
Pineapple is flat in nature, sweet and slightly astringent, and has the functions of clearing away heat and quenching thirst, digesting food and stopping diarrhea, tonifying the spleen and stomach, consolidating vital energy, replenishing qi and blood, digesting food, and removing dampness.
Pineapple is rich in bromelain, which can decompose protein and help digestion. It is more appropriate to eat some pineapple, especially after eating too much meat and greasy food. In addition, the sugar and enzyme contained in pineapple have a certain diuretic effect, which is beneficial for patients with nephritis and hypertension, and also has an auxiliary effect on bronchitis; it is rich in fiber, can stimulate the intestines, has a convergence effect, and can help stop diarrhea if taken in moderation; it can not only strengthen the spleen and stomach, but also consolidate the vital energy; pineapple decomposes protein in the stomach and helps digestion. If you feel discomfort in the throat after eating it, it is an allergic symptom. At this time, you need to drink a glass of light salt water to dilute the allergic components.
3. Advantages
Its advantages are: it decomposes the macromolecules of fibrin, but does not destroy the fibrinogen necessary for coagulation. It can be used for inflammatory edema, hematoma, thrombosis caused by various reasons, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, acute pneumonia, postpartum breast congestion, mastitis, postpartum thrombophlebitis, retinitis, etc., and combined with antibacterial drugs to treat arthritis, periarthritis, cellulitis, leg ulcers, etc., are all effective.
