Will salted pineapple cause protein loss?

Every time I go outside to buy pineapples, pineapples are soaked with salt. Will salted pineapples cause protein loss?

    Salts can indeed denature most proteins and produce a salting-out effect-causing the protein to aggregate and precipitate out of solution. But this effect is reversible, soaking pineapple in saline does not inactivate bromelain. High-concentration brine has such an effect, so what you eat is pickled pineapple.
