Abstract

Bromelain is one of the vegetal proteases found in pineapple plant. It has numerous applications in food and pharmaceuticals. This review discussed different bromelain purification techniques which will assist in determining the effect of processing conditions on the purification efficacy. There are four purification techniques to be discussed namely; reverse micellar system aqueous two phase extraction cation exchange chromatography and ammonium sulphate precipitation. Of the four techniques cation exchange chromatography had shown the best bromelain purification technique with purification fold of 10.0 followed by reverse micellar system containing CTAB/ isooctane/ hexanol/ butanol ATPE containing PEG polymer ammonium sulphate precipitation and ATPE containing PEO-PPO-PEO with purification fold of 5.2 4 2.81 and 1.25 respectively.
