bromelin
Tropical fruit protease
Bromelin is an enzyme found in pineapple that breaks down proteins.
It's used as a meat tenderizer and in digestive supplements.
The spelling bromelain is more common in scientific and commercial contexts.
The bromelin in fresh pineapple prevents gelatin from setting properly.
