In this study, the bromelain powder from the pineapple crown extract was produced
through purification, desalting followed by drying processes using cation exchange chromatography,
continuous diafiltrator and freeze dryer, respectively. Initially, the physico-chemical properties of the
pineapple crown extract was determined. Then, the bromelain activity in the pineapple crown extract, purified
bromelain, desalted bromelain and bromelain powder was determined.
