Pineapple heart and pineapple concentrate are rich in a digestive enzyme called bromelain. Bromelains is an excellent digestive due to its activity as a protease, highly beneficial in cases of difficult digestion, while it has anorexigenic properties, that is, it decreases appetite. Fructooligosaccharides, as insoluble fibers that they are, provide a feeling of satiety; This, together with the anorexigenic action of pineapple, prevents excesses from occurring in meals, or "snacking" between meals. Fructooligosaccharides also speed up the passage of food through the digestive system, thus avoiding constipation and the consequent intestinal discomfort and putrefaction of the feces. A third action of this fiber is the protection of the intestinal flora, since these microorganisms are so necessary. They feed on the compounds released by the fiber during digestion.
