Fresh pineapple juice contains a proteolytic enzyme. Would canned pineapple juice be as effective as a tenderizing agent? Why?


Fresh pineapple juice contains bromelin. Canned pineapple juice, however, would be a poor tenderizing agent because the canning process inactivates the proteolytic enzyme in order to preserve the pineapple.
