| The pineapple is a fruit that has wide acceptance worldwide both in natural form, as industrialized. Your peel is a residue generated by food industries and from this residue can obtain a protein extract which is a good source of bromelain. This study aimed to obtain a protein extract from pineapple peel, evaluate its enzyme activity and its healing properties in skin lesions in rats. Seven animal groups were used: control, treated with 5% of protein extract, 10% of protein extract and pure protein extract; 5% of commercial bromelain, 10% of commercial bromelain and pure commercial bromelain. The animals were subjected to a tissue incision and treated for 21 days. Proteolytic and specific activities of the protein extract were 1.30 U mg-1 and 45 x 10-3 U... |
