How To Destroy Bromelain When Eat Pineapple

People often feel mouth tingling when eating pineapple. This is because pineapple contains a substance called bromelain. Bromelain can break down protein and turn it into small molecular peptides or amino acids. , The protease will decompose the fragile mucosa in the oral cavity, resulting in slight pain.

According to the fact that eating pineapple in life is prone to tingling in the mouth, an exploratory experiment on "how to prevent pineapple from stinging" has been brought out. The experimental results show that NaCl will affect the activity of bromelain. After 80 minutes, the activity of bromelain is almost zero, and the activity of bromelain is lost when the pH is 11. Therefore, adding salt, heating, acid (vinegar) and alkali (baking soda) can be used to prevent pineapple from stinging in life.
