Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme complex that is derived from pineapple stems and fruit and is used to remove only dead skin from burns. It effectively removes necrotic tissue while sparing healthy tissue and helps in speeding up healing and reducing complications. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that make it useful in the management of conditions like osteoarthritis, soft tissue injuries, and post-surgical swelling.

It also supports cardiovascular health by stopping platelet aggregation and promoting fibrinolysis, which helps to prevent thrombosis and improves circulation. It helps in protein digestion and can relieve symptoms of indigestion and bloating. It is utilized to treat respiratory conditions like sinusitis and bronchitis because of its mucolytic and anti-inflammatory effects. It has anticancer properties that stop tumor growth and improve immune responses against cancer cells. It is used in the food industry as a meat tenderizer and in cosmetics for its exfoliating and soothing effects. It is also utilized in the textile industry for enzymatic processing.

Feedstock for Bromelain

The production of Bromelain involves an extraction method that uses the pineapple stem as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of pineapple stems is affected by factors like agricultural, logistical, market, and regulatory factors. The availability and quality of healthy stems depend on the productivity of pineapple plantations, the use of disease-free planting material, and the management of pests and diseases. The changes in pineapple production that are influenced by land availability, weather conditions, and quality agricultural inputs impact its supply and price.

The fluctuations in its demand from applications like propagation for new crops, extraction of bromelain, and other industrial uses affect their market availability and prices. The compliance with phytosanitary regulations and quality standards for planting material for the adoption of best agricultural practices adds to its procurement costs. Environmental factors like unpredictable weather patterns and pest outbreaks lead to sudden shortages or quality issues. Also, the limited access to timely market information and agricultural extension services further complicates their procurement.
 

Market Drivers for Bromelain

The market for bromelain is driven growing demand for natural and plant-based ingredients in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Its growing use in pharmaceuticals, because of its anti-inflammatory, digestive, and cardiovascular properties, contributes to its market growth. The rise in functional foods and nutraceuticals, with growing health consciousness, further boosts its demand. Its utilization in cosmetics and skincare products, because of its exfoliating and soothing properties, fuels its market.

The usage of advanced technology in extraction and processing makes it cost-effective, which further contributes to its demand. In North America, its strong demand is fueled by the popularity of natural and plant-based products in food, supplements, and cosmetics, as well as their usage in the meat processing industry. In Europe, the market is driven by consumer preference for clean-label, health-promoting ingredients in dietary supplements, bakery, and cosmetics. Its market in the Asia Pacific region is fueled by abundant pineapple production and expanding pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, and its rising popularity in functional foods and beauty products.

The CAPEX for bromelain production facility includes costs of a stem crusher or industrial grinder, screw press or hydraulic juice extractor, disc-stack centrifuge, and depth filters or microfiltration units. It also includes a tangential flow ultrafiltration system, a fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) system, and a lyophilizer (freeze dryer). Cold storage rooms, water purification systems, air handling units, and PLC/SCADA panels for automated control and monitoring also come under CAPEX. Its OPEX includes ongoing costs for pineapple stems, phosphate or citrate buffers, and electricity and water costs. The wages for skilled labor for operating FPLC, lyophilizers, centrifuges, and monitoring enzyme activity through lab equipment like UV-Vis spectrophotometers and SDS-PAGE setups are also covered under operating expenses. It also covers maintenance that involves replacing membrane cartridges, chromatography resin, and pump seals, while waste handling includes an effluent treatment system.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Bromelain manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Bromelain manufacturing.

• From Pineapple stems: The feedstock for this process includes pineapple stems.

The manufacturing process of bromelain involves advanced extraction and purification steps. First, the stem is processed to extract a crude mixture that contains bromelain, which is then subjected to centrifugation to separate solid residues from the liquid extract. This extract then goes through ultrafiltration to concentrate the enzyme and remove smaller impurities. After this, lyophilization (freeze-drying) is employed to preserve the enzyme in a stable, powdered form. For further purification, a two-step Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) process is used to isolate pure bromelain as the final product.
 

Properties of Bromelain

Bromelain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes and appears as a white to light brownish yellow, amorphous powder. It is highly soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol, chloroform, and ether. It is stored at low temperatures of around −20 degree Celsius. It has a molecular weight of around 1026.9 g/mol, which can vary since it is a mixture of enzymes. It is stable in a wide range of pH values and retains its activity in various physical environments. It has a cysteine amino acid at its active site, which is important for its protein-digesting (proteolytic) function. It consists of a complex mixture of proteins and glycoproteins, and its structure includes carbohydrate moieties that contribute to its allergenic potential. It has strong proteolytic activity and breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. It forms hydrogen bonds and can interact via hydrophobic interactions and Van der Waals forces. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in food processing and therapeutic applications.
