The Curious Flesh Eating Enzymes in Pineapple (Excerpt)
You may have heard that you can't make jam from pineapple and papaya because they contain various enzymes that won’t allow the flesh to gel. First and foremost, yes, these fruits don’t jam well because of certain enzymes. Second, you definitely can make jam from both if you use a few tricks.
What are these enzymes and what exactly are they doing?
Pineapples are packed with the stuff, though particularly in the stem and skin.
Bromelain is known for its ability to break down protein chains. This gives it a culinary use as a tenderizer to soften up tough cuts of meat. In fact, it’s such a great tenderizer that when using pineapple juice as a marinade, you only have to actually marinate for a short time. Marinate too long and the meat will literally fall apart.
This enzyme is also why pineapple won't form into jam and jelly when gelatin is used, as the enzyme breaks down the gelatin. However, you can add agar-agar to neutralize this reaction.
In fact, this enzyme is so strong that pineapple processors have to wear gloves and masks since the juice will eventually eat away at the hands and face. When cutting up lots of pineapples, it isn’t uncommon to come away with dry, flaky skin or even small sores.
There is some research to see if this enzyme can be used to treat osteoarthritis, but results so far are still pending or inconclusive.
