Significance of the Study:

This study intends to make use of Pineapple (Ananas comosus) peeling as a major component in making vinegar to reduce post-harvest loss of pineapple and to promote the safe and positive effects of using pineapple peeling as a major component in making vinegar.

This study is helpful to the environment because it reduces pineapple waste which contains residual pulp, peels that can cause environmental pollution problems if not utilized. Another is that the vinegar made out of pineapple peelings is natural and less acidic than the commercially available one. Commercially available vinegar also poses a threat for osteoporosis since vinegar products sold for medicinal purposes are neither regulated nor standardized. This study could also improve one’s health, according to the researchers, there are many medical benefits of vinegar that some do not realize. Since vinegar contains agents proven to help kill bacteria and fungus, one of the medical benefits of vinegar is it can help cure athlete's foot and other foot fungus. Vinegar will also kill the existing bacteria and fungus. Pineapple also contains medicinal properties; it contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain, which helps in the digestion of protein. Pineapple can prevent blood clot formation because of its bromelain content.

This study can also help the society because of the fact that this vinegar will be cheaper but it’s as effective as the commercially available one. The production of pineapple might double if this research is successful and that would be beneficial for the economy as well. Other than that, some commercially available vinegar might be contaminated as well if it wasn’t produce properly and if misused, may cause harm to the organ system of the body.

The pineapple and vinegar are beneficial on their own, but if you combine them together it results into something natural, affordable and very efficient. It may seem that

    Studies that look at the possible antimicrobial effects of herbs and spices are important because their results can help people avoid foodborne illnesses. For example, because cilantro has been shown to have antimicrobial effects against Salmonella, people can use this knowledge and incorporate it into their own lives. They might choose to include cilantro more often in their food dishes containing chicken or eggs to help reduce the risk of enteritis from a Salmonella infection. Enteritis is a bacterial infection of the intestine that causes inflammation, fever, and sometimes dysentery. Particularly virulent strains of Salmonella can cause internal bleeding that leads to a systemic infection and sometimes death (Tortura et al., 2010). Not only can individuals choose to use herbs and spices in their food in order to help produce an antimicrobial effect, but companies can also choose to manufacture products containing the antimicrobial components of herbs and spices. Continued research of herbs and spices is important so that humans can continue to produce more effective antimicrobial products such as soaps and fruit/vegetable washes. The products and knowledge gained from research on herbs and spices can help humans’ live healthier lives and avoid infection.…

    After completing the Pineapple Jell-O Enzyme lab, the final results were that the canned pineapple formed the jelly while the fresh pineapple did not. Pineapple In order for this to have occurred, there has to be a comparison between fresh and canned pineapple in terms of their physical and chemical properties. The physical properties of fresh pineapple are that it is sweet, ripe and raw. These properties make fresh pineapples very healthy and delicious to eat. The chemical properties of fresh pineapple are that it contains bromelain, vitamin C, antioxidants, carbohydrates and helps defend the immune system. Bromelain is an enzyme that “promotes the digestive process and helps to break down proteins in foods” (Jomard, 2007). It also breaks “collagen, preventing Jell-O from gelling” (Helmenstine, 2013). It is also used as an anticoagulant, which prevents blood clotting. Fresh pineapples also have “anti-inflammatory properties, which make it useful to reduce pain” (Botanical-online, 2013). Vitamin C is “important to the health of your immune system and enables your body to repair and grow tissue” (Cespedes, 2011). The physical properties of canned pineapple are that they are sweet and “it can be canned in various forms – slices, chunks or crushed” (Dalal, 2008). Canned pineapples are not as fresh or nutritious as fresh pineapples. The chemical properties of canned pineapple are that it is used in gelatin desserts. It does not have bromelain because of the canning process. Fruits that might have the same anticoagulant properties as pineapple are “cherries, cranberries, blueberries, grapes, strawberries, tangerines and oranges” (Simmons, 2012). Each fruit does not provide the same type of action because each provides different types of nutrition. Chefs use chillies to make pineapple jellies is because to add some flavor in the jelly and also that chilli is…
