2) Improve immune system

6) Lower cholesterol level
Day 20 – Voila! Ready to drink?
- Clean and dry all fruits, utensils and containers to inhibit mould growth at the latter stage.
- Arrange layers of cut fruits, sliced lemons and brown sugar starting from the bottom of the container.
- Repeat till the content is around 50% full as the fermentation process later will release gases and the juices may overflow if the content is too full.
- Brown sugar being the top layer.
- Close the container tightly and leave it in a dry and cool place.
- Remember to shake the container lightly everyday to ensure that the fruits and top part of the bottle are immersed in liquid to prevent mold growth. If required, add more brown sugar to create a more concentrated extract with high sugar content.
- If mould is seen, remove the affected fruits and add more brown sugar. If else failed, everything has to be disposed.
- The enzyme should be ready to be consumed in 2-3 weeks.
- Sieve the fruits and pour the juices into a new glass bottle.
- Keep the enzyme drink in refrigerator because cool temperature will slow down the fermentation process that will turn the enzyme into alcohol.
- The leftover fruits can be used as body exfoliater and fertilizer for the soil.
Dragon fruits were used for the first batch, with pineapples, oranges and grapes in the process of fermentation before the grand harvesting. It does tastes very good, with a slight tinge of alcohol. I have to remind myself, only two tablespoon per day, two tablespoon…*hish*
wow.. amazing.. I didn’t know it could be done, just like that! and thx for the tip!
enzymes or alcoholic fruit punch?? kekeke..

Hey i saw ppl making this out of vegetable and fruit skin! Then they pour the liquid into river in hoping it would menguraikan the toxic stuff in the river. So every now and then they would pour some into the river to help reviving it.

Can I have more receipt on fuits enzyme so i can share with others around me.
I m interested in making furits enzyme. pls can I have the receipt.
Brown sugar can I add honey instead. Do I need to add water.
wait your reply.
Thanks
hi the recipe is at above..no plz dun add any water at all…it will spoil th thing..u can use natural honey 2
How long should I ferment if I want it to have sparkling taste?
Hi,
My friend uses oligo instead of sugar as the sugar content of the enzyme produced may be too high. Regular consumption would not be encouraged coz in long term it may lead to diabetes. Do consider replacing your sugar to oligo ~ can be purchased at organic shop. But beware of buying oligo made in China!! You never know what’s in it!
Wah! Interesting! Heard this thing gives out ozone, true ah?
may I know the fruit enzyme needs to add any vinegar. thanks
Awesome!! bye.
Do we add water to the fruit enzyme? I read only fruits and brown sugar. I plan to start with red dragon fruit + pineapple + lemon. Is it ok?Hope to get quick reply. Thanks.
Hi Gina
You cant add any water, it will spoil the whole thing, coz the mold would grow 🙂
hi it’s ok now. i just saw a comment about adding water and you said no.
hi , how come some emzyme must keep till 6 months while ur only 20 days?? thanks
Hi,
May I ask a question?
Is the whitish stuff floating on the surface normal and can it be consumed or must it be removed first before consumption?
errm i think its mold which i will throw right away but i do know of some peopel who would keep it.
it never occurs to me because i will keep all my utensils n bottles dry. 🙂
Hi,
Thanks! Dat was quick response. I suppose the secret is to keep utensil dry so that unwanted fungi do not grow. Thanks again. Have a nice day.
Chongsky
yeah, and this is very crucial 🙂 good luck and have fun in making your own enzyme!
very interesting article ^^ I’ve done it in my lab food processing. I just wonder if this enzyme drink can consider as alcoholic beverage?
Hi all,
This is my first time of making fruits enzyme. Just to share my happy experince. I hv. just made myself a big bottle of Orange+Apple enzyme and a small bottle of Grape enzyme last Saturday.
On the 3rd & 4th day, I found mold was growing on the top layer (lemon & orange slice). I removed the effected portion and added more sugar (Pian Tang).
I think it’s fine today (5th day) b’cos I don’t see any mold but lots of bubble. I see more bubble growing in the Grapes enzyme since from the 2nd day compared to Orange+Apple enzyme.
I think Grapes are the right fruit to do BEST enzyme as there are used to make Wine. I hv. made another 2 big bottles of Grapes enzyme. I hope all my enzyme will be tasty and taste more like wine, b’cos I like wine.
I have a question. If I change sugar to rice malt (Cao Peng), do you think that it will turn to fruit wine (like rice wine / mi chiew)?
YL
Congrats! yeah dragonfruits and grapes are the best fruits to make enzyme. I’m not so sure about rice malt though, coz all the while we use only 1 method on different fruits hehe
Thanks for yr. fast response and thanks for the sharing. =)
oh no! my 1st enmyze drink become moldy! some white colour spot on top! sad! but i used it as shampoo, body shampoo n dish wash. b4 i make it to shampoo i try it wow! so nice! haih! wasted!
The white colour spot should be good bacteria. Unless it’s in black colour. If you are doubt, just remove the effected part and add more sugar or Oligo.
I think the white colour spot should be good bacteria. Unless it’s black in colour. You can remove the effected part and add more sugar/Oligo.
Is it ok if i use manuka honey containing UMF15+?
hi allesia, sorry but im not sure. if its organic then it’ll be fine
Hi,
Actually you can make fruit enzymes with water. However you have to purchase a specially made pail from eco-paradise. Just add 6 litres of water to 1 kg fruits and sugar or honey or oligo and keep for 1 week. Turns out very nice, no mold and have a fizzy feel on the tongue.
wat is eco-paradise? where can i get the water n how much?
I want to know wheter the fruit enzyme is the same as taste as alcohol. It it is maybe muslim cannot consume, Thank You
Hi kampungboycitygal,
I was browsing around for the various methods people use to make fruit enzyme drinks and this was quite helpful, so thanks!
However I’d like to tell you about the ‘magic pail’ from Ecoparadise. This pail is amazing, I use it to make fruit enzyme drinks – it’s very much faster (less than 1 week, if you use dragon fruit only 3 days!) and it’s really simple. no mold as well! just throw in fruits, sugar, water and leave it to ferment. No need to layer. They told me it is an antioxidant pail which is why the fermentation process is much faster.
you should try it! i got my pail from the Ecoparadise center in Jaya One, PJ. selling for RM160 or something like that – quite ex but i think it’s worth it to save all the hassle. =)
hi thanks a lot! actually i dun make enzyme for consumption anymore, internet sources were saying that it might not be safe. now i use them to wash the dishes, it works really well!
Hi Kampungboycitygal,
I’m surprised that you’d suddenly changed from consuming the enzyme drink to using it for cleaning purposes. Do you have any websites to share on your findings about the danger of consumption ? In fact, I had started to make my very first Pineapple enzyme drink yesterday. It’s fun and I’m already getting bubbles forming on the top layer. Tell me more as I’m new to this.
Hi richard, i read it from some chinese newspaper. if u get all the procedures right, it won’t do any harm to your body, so u must be really careful. n make sure that all ur utensils are dry
Hi Kampungboycitygal,
I made my own DIY fruit enzyme (red apple + lemon + slide brown sugar). My son (~4yrs old) love to drink this fruit enzyme. It is advisable to allow small children to drink it? Thanks for the reply.
Siew Kim
the fruit is in big chunk, not much alcohol will be derived from this form of fermentation. for those who wants a more alcoholic brew, mash the fruit into pulp.
Hi Kim Ming, do you know (estimate) what roughly the alcohol %? My son face will turn red after drink fruit enzyme drink. Is it advisable to allow children to drink DIY fruit enzyme?
Nowsday in Penang alot of people been talking about enzyme made from brown sugar. The taste like alcohol. Wonder it this safe to consume N what is the benefit of taking this?.
im sure there’s some risk to it, because there’s no QA for home made enzyme. So it is safer to make your own still 🙂
Hi,
This is my first time, i made 3 types of mix fruits; 1. dragon fruit+ beet root+lemon, 2. papaya+ orange+ lemon and lastly 3. Cherry tomato+ lemon + orange+ beet root. This is the 3rd day and I observe it starts to mold ( white). Is this common? What should I do? Appreciate your advice.
I use Oligo Answer, Oligo honey and oganic sugar in all 3 mixture. Is this the right way?
How long should I ferment it base on the ingredient used?
Can the enzyme still be drink after 1 year?
I too browse thru net to get infos. Myself haven’t try doing enzyme. There is one interesting at http://www.my-island-penang.com/Fruit-Enzyme.html. It is very detail.
is it really good to drink? i’m making garbage enzyme for a start
I started doing fruit enyzme and it is fun. My family love it.
I heard one can use red wine instead of sugar for fermenting the fruits. Does anyone has
any info on this. It would be a good alternative.
Hmm… I come across your blog when i thought of getting info of making fruits/vege enzymes. By the way do u know what kind of enzymes that is suitable for hypertensions? Really luv your blog °°°
This sounds good and very interesting. Digestive enzymes really play a vital role in the proper digestion. Thanks for sharing. You have a great post! Congrats!

Hello, thanks for this. Can we eat the fruits left from the process? They look so yummy soaked in the sweet liquid! 🙂

Hi, do you have any updates on this. Are you still taking fruit enzyme? Thanks.
How long must we take to complete the drink —-
Thanks you

Dragon fruits enzyme…it’s expensive fruits, easy to do but very difficult and messy to harvest.
First and last i will do dragon fruits enzyme. Recommend pineapple & green papaya.
