RESUMO

Studies were made on the extraction process of bromelain obtained from the stem of pineapple plant Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. variety Cayenne, with the purpose to evaluate the effect of temperature of the filtration extract, addition of activators and of precipitants agents upon the stability of the proteolytic activity and upon the material balance. The filtration of the extracts at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60°C results in a gradual increase in the proteolytic activity of the extract till 50°C and a reduction at 60°C. The proteolytic activity was determined in Kunitz units.The addition of commons agents, proteolytic activators like sodium benzoate, cysteine hydrochloride and sodium edetate to the filtrated extracts of stem pineapple at different temperatures promote one elevation of the activity showing an addictive effect with the temperature. The filtrated extract at 50°C and with activators was stable for 60 days when stored at 5 and 20°C.The material balance showed a superavit when the precipitation of bromelain was made by ammonium sulphate in relation to others filtrated at 40°C, obtained with sodium benzoate, cysteine hydrochloride and sodium edetate.The acetone showed less efficiency than the ammonium sulphate in relation to the material balance. The stability study of the bromelain at the temperature of 5, 20, 30 and 40°C during a period of 90 days and obtained through the interrelationship of factors like temperature, activators and precipitants showed best results to bromelain sample prepared from the filtrated extract at 40°C with sodium benzoate, cysteine hydrochloride and sodium edetate and precipitated with ammonium sulphate. The performance related to the activation, stabilization and in the material balance was not confirmed in relation to the stability of the bromelain powder. The bromelain powder, certainly needs stabilizers to consolidate the advantages showed in the material balance in the activation and stabilization of pineapple extract.
