Bromelain, derived from pineapple (Ananas comosus), is an enzyme complex primarily composed of proteolytic enzymes, including proteases and peptidases. These enzymes facilitate the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Additionally, bromelain contains sulfur-containing compounds and trace elements. Its utilization is mainly attributed to its potential health benefits.
