Characterization and Potential Application of Bromelain from Pineapple (Ananas comosus) Waste (Peel) in Recovery of Silver from X-Ray Films

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme, which is predominately found in all parts of a pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). It has immense application in the pharmaceutical industry as well as in food, cosmetic, and leather industries. However, bromelain from pineapple fruit peels is a less explored source...

The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme were recorded at 70°C and pH 7.0, respectively.
