Bromelain
A mixture of protein-digesting enzymes, obtained mainly from the pineapple stem and first isolated in 1891 by Venezuelan chemist Vicente Marcano; it is used to tenderise meat and, in Europe since 2012, to remove dead tissue from severe burns. This family brings together the active ingredient.
