This versatile, clean-label ingredient offers a convenient, shelf-stable solution for enhancing flavor, adding natural color, and delivering scientifically-supported digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits across a wide range of food, beverage, and dietary supplement applications.
We support global B2B customers with consistent quality, scalable supply, and comprehensive analytical documentation, enabling the creation of innovative products that meet the growing consumer demand for authentic, nutrient-dense tropical fruit ingredients.
Authentic Tropical Flavor Profile – Captures the bright, sweet-tart, and distinctly tropical taste of fresh, ripe pineapple, delivering genuine fruit identity to finished products without artificial flavoring .
Rich in Bromelain for Digestive & Anti-Inflammatory Support – Naturally contains bromelain, a unique proteolytic enzyme complex that has been extensively studied for its ability to break down proteins, support digestive comfort, and modulate inflammatory responses throughout the body .
Excellent Source of Vitamin C & Manganese – Provides significant levels of natural vitamin C (ascorbic acid) for immune support and antioxidant protection, along with manganese—a trace mineral essential for bone health, connective tissue formation, and metabolic function .
Natural Digestive Enzyme Support – Bromelain's protein-digesting activity makes pineapple juice powder a valuable addition to digestive enzyme formulations, helping to support protein breakdown and reduce occasional bloating and digestive discomfort after meals .
Clinically-Validated Anti-Inflammatory Activity – Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that bromelain supplementation helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and discomfort associated with sinusitis, osteoarthritis, and soft tissue injuries, supporting the body's natural inflammatory balance .
Whole-Fruit Nutritional Profile – Our powder preserves the full spectrum of nutrients naturally present in whole pineapple, including dietary fiber, B vitamins (thiamin, B6, folate), copper, and potassium, contributing to overall nutritional adequacy .
Versatile Natural Colorant – Imparts a bright, appealing golden-yellow hue to finished products, offering a clean-label alternative to synthetic yellow food colorings while simultaneously contributing significant nutritional and functional value .

Greenherb's Pineapple Juice Powder captures the vibrant essence of a tropical fruit that has captivated cultures for centuries—from its origins in South America to its spread across the globe as a symbol of hospitality and abundance. Beyond its irresistible sweet-tart flavor and sunny color, pineapple contains a remarkable secret: bromelain, a unique proteolytic enzyme that has become one of the most studied natural compounds for digestive health and inflammatory balance . This enzyme complex, concentrated primarily in the fruit's stem and juice, breaks down proteins, supports comfortable digestion, and has been clinically shown to help manage inflammation throughout the body. Our gentle processing preserves this delicate enzymatic activity along with the fruit's full nutritional profile, delivering a versatile ingredient that combines authentic tropical flavor with scientifically-supported functional benefits. It is the ideal choice for brands developing products in the digestive wellness, anti-inflammatory support, functional beverages, and clean-label food categories.
Botanical Source: Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. (Pineapple)
Used Part: Whole Fruit (primarily juice vesicles, may include core for enhanced bromelain content)
Key Active Components: Bromelain (proteolytic enzyme complex), Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Manganese, Dietary Fiber, B Vitamins (thiamin, B6, folate), Potassium, Copper .
Standardization: Available as whole fruit powder, juice powder, or standardized to bromelain activity (e.g., 500 GDU/g, 1000 GDU/g, 2000 GDU/g) .
Appearance: Fine, golden-yellow to light yellow powder with characteristic pineapple aroma .
Flavor: Sweet, tangy, tropical—authentically pineapple with pleasant fruity notes.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water; forms a clear to slightly turbid golden solution .
Enzyme Activity: Bromelain activity is expressed in Gelatin Digesting Units (GDU) or FIP units; stable when stored properly .
Our gentle process is designed to preserve the delicate bromelain enzyme activity and heat-sensitive vitamins:
Fruit Selection & Sourcing: Sourcing of premium, sun-ripened pineapples from trusted tropical growers. Fruits are inspected for quality, color, and optimal brix/acid ratio.
Thorough Washing & Preparation: Pineapples are thoroughly washed to remove any field residues. The crown and base are removed, and the fruit is peeled.
Juice Extraction: The peeled fruit is crushed and pressed to extract the nutrient-rich juice. For enhanced bromelain content, the core (which contains high enzyme concentrations) may be included .
Clarification & Filtration: The juice undergoes filtration to remove insoluble fiber and suspended solids, resulting in a clear liquid ready for concentration.
Low-Temperature Concentration: The clarified juice is concentrated under vacuum at low temperatures (typically below 50°C) to remove water while preserving heat-sensitive bromelain activity and vitamin C .
Spray Drying with Carrier: The concentrated juice is spray-dried using carefully controlled inlet temperatures with a food-grade carrier (such as maltodextrin or tapioca starch) to produce a stable, free-flowing powder that retains enzyme activity .
Enzyme Activity Verification: Each batch is tested for bromelain activity (GDU/g) using validated enzymatic assays to ensure consistent potency .
Sieving & Standardization: The powder is sieved to achieve uniform particle size and blended for batch-to-batch consistency in flavor, color, and enzymatic activity.
Quality Assurance: Each batch is tested for bromelain activity, vitamin C content, microbial safety, and heavy metals.
Pineapple Juice Powder is valued for both its sensory appeal and its scientifically-supported health benefits:
Supports Digestive Comfort & Protein Digestion*: Bromelain's proteolytic activity helps break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, supporting efficient digestion and reducing occasional bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort after protein-rich meals .
Promotes Healthy Inflammatory Balance*: Multiple clinical studies demonstrate that bromelain supplementation helps modulate pro-inflammatory mediators, reducing swelling, pain, and discomfort associated with sinusitis, osteoarthritis, and soft tissue injuries .
Provides Potent Antioxidant Protection*: Rich in vitamin C and other phenolic compounds that neutralize free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress associated with aging and chronic disease .
Supports Immune System Function*: The high vitamin C content supports various immune cell functions and provides antioxidant protection for the immune system .
Supports Sinus & Respiratory Health*: Clinical research has shown that bromelain helps reduce nasal swelling, improve breathing, and support overall sinus health, particularly when combined with other anti-inflammatory compounds .
Promotes Healthy Skin & Tissue Repair*: The combination of bromelain's anti-inflammatory effects and vitamin C's role in collagen synthesis supports healthy skin and connective tissue repair .
Supports Post-Exercise Recovery*: Bromelain's anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness and accelerate recovery following intense physical activity .
Contributes to Bone & Connective Tissue Health*: Manganese, naturally abundant in pineapple, is essential for bone formation, connective tissue integrity, and antioxidant enzyme function .
