Properties and Benefits

Ripe fruit is cold, efficacious to reduce excess stomach acid, helps digest food in the stomach, anti-inflammatory, peluruh urine, cleanse dead skin tissue (skin debridement), interfere with cancer cell growth, inhibit platelet clotting (platelet aggregation), and have activities fibrinolytic.
Young fruit tastes sour, efficacious stimulates digestive enzymes, antelmintics, diuretics, peluruhhaid (emenagogues), abortivum, laxative phlegm (mucolytic), and laxative.
Leaves are antipyretic, antelmintic, laxative, anti-inflammatory, and normalize the menstrual cycle.

Chemical Content

The fruit contains vitamins A and C, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, sodium, potassium, dekstroksa, sucrose (sugar cane), and the enzyme bromelain. Bromelain is anti-inflammatory, helps soften food in the stomach, disrupts cancer cell growth, inhibits platelet aggregation, and has fibrinolytic activity. The fiber content can facilitate bowel movements in patients with constipation.

Pharmacological Effects and Research Results

1. Research on the effect of adding pineapple juice to the quality of cow's milk that has been done. Apparently, the addition of 3.4 ml of pineapple juice obtained the lowest bacterial population, namely 37.60 x 10⁴ cells / ml and the highest fat content of 7.594%. At the addition of 3.2 ml of pineapple juice obtained the highest protein content of 19,138% (M.Nuh Nasution, Department of Biology FMIPA UNAND, 1993).
2. Apparently, the enzymes contained in pineapple fruit have a fast debridement (an experiment was carried out on rats that suffered burns).
3. Provision of 0.2 ml of young pineapple extract in pregnant mice can kill mice embryos if given at 2 to 4 days of gestation. If given at 6 days of gestation, pregnancy continues and can give birth normally.
