About Bromelain (Ananas Comosus) Glycerite, Dried Powder
Bromelain is a protein extract derived from the stems of pineapples, although it exists in all parts of the fresh plant and fruit. The extract has a history of folk medicine use. As a culinary ingredient, it may be used as a meat tenderizer. Bromelain is present in all parts of the pineapple plant, but the stem is the most common commercial source, presumably because useable quantities are readily extractable after the fruit has been harvested. Pineapples have a long tradition as a medicinal plant among the natives of South and Central America. The first isolation of bromelain was recorded by the Venezuelan chemist Vicente Marcano in 1891 by fermenting the fruit of pineapple.
