The enzyme present in kiwi that is analogous to bromelain in pineapple is actinidain. Actinidain is a cysteine protease enzyme that plays a crucial role in kiwi fruit ripening and softening by enzymatically breaking down proteins. This enzyme exhibits a broad substrate specificity and optimal activity at slightly acidic pH levels. Actinidain has also been shown to possess various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and digestive aid properties. Understanding the properties and functions of actinidain in kiwi fruit not only contributes to our knowledge of fruit ripening processes but also has potential implications for various industrial and health applications. This dissertation provides a comprehensive comparison of two widely studied proteolytic enzymes, bromelain and actinidin, in terms of their biochemical properties, physiological functions, and potential therapeutic applications. Bromelain, derived from pineapple, and actinidin, found in kiwifruit, are both cysteine proteases that exhibit significant proteolytic activity. The review covers their diverse enzymatic properties, including substrate specificities, optimal pH and temperature ranges, and stability profiles. Furthermore, the dissertation delves into the various physiological roles of bromelain and actinidin in food digestion, anti-inflammatory effects, wound healing, and immune modulation based on a thorough analysis of existing research studies. In addition, the dissertation sheds light on the emerging therapeutic applications of bromelain and actinidin in clinical settings, including their potential for cancer therapy, anti-bacterial activity, and modulation of allergic responses. By comparing the biochemical properties, physiological functions, and therapeutic potentials of bromelain and actinidin, this dissertation provides valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals working in the field of enzymology and biotechnology. Overall, this review elucidates the distinct characteristics of bromelain and actinidin, highlighting their similarities and differences in terms of enzymatic activities, structural features, physiological functions, and therapeutic applications, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the potential uses of these proteolytic enzymes in diverse fields of science and medicine.
