Bromelain separates the amino acids in the enzymes that cause browning by breaking the peptide bonds.
Explanation:
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy.
An enzyme from the stem of pineapple is called Bromelain also known as cysteine protease. It is obtained by cutting pineapple and filtering the juice of it.
Bromelain extract is a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes and several other substances in smaller quantities.
The monomers in Bromelain are numerous sub units of Sulfhydryl proteases. A free sulfyhydryl group of a cysteine amino acid side chain is required for function. By seperating proteins from amino acids the reaction that breaks up enzymes occurs.
