- Incorporation
Bromelain (600) should be blended into the water phase below 40°C. The optimum pH range is 6.0 - 6.8. It is mostly soluble in water. Almost insoluble in methanol, diethyl ether and chloroform. Bromelain (600) is a bio-active substance and can easily be inhibited or destroyed by heavy metals (e.g. Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, etc.) and oxidants. Do not use in formulations with protein products or formaldehyde preservatives.
