Pineapple extract is produced from the whole fruit or juice of Ananas comosus through concentration and spray-drying. Unlike pure stem bromelain, the fruit extract provides a broader spectrum of bioactives including fruit bromelain, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, manganese, and phenolic compounds.
The extract supports digestive efficiency, provides anti-inflammatory benefits, and offers natural vitamin and mineral nutrition. It retains the characteristic tropical flavor profile suitable for food applications. Commercially, pineapple extract is used in digestive health supplements, functional beverages, flavored nutraceutical products, and natural food ingredient applications.
