Making Your Own / DIY Fruits Enzyme

Posted by kampungboycitygal in Home Cook - Others. 52 Comments

Day 5 – See the bubbles? Enzyme bursting with energy!Enzymes are forms of complex proteins that act as catalysts in almost every biochemical process in our body. We have metabolic enzymes which play a role in all body processes including breathing, talking, moving, thinking, behavior and maintenance of the immune system. The second category is the digestive enzymes and the last category, food enzymes which presents in raw foods. Thousands type of enzymes exists, with a role to play in different organs. Some of the main functionalities of enzymes are
1) Maintain a high alkaline blood ph.
2) Improve immune system
3) Improve digestive system and aids constipation
4) Antioxidant power
5) Protect our cells from free radical damage.
6) Lower cholesterol levelMy mum has learned from her friends the methods to make your own fruits enzyme. After months of consuming the enzyme drinks, she has experience significant improvement in health. It is an effective remedy for her gastric problem and instead of feeling lethargic all time, she’s feeling energetic.I’m starting on my enzyme drinks regime right now (two table spoon per day) and I want to achieve a better digestive system and go to the loo more often. *shy*However, there’s not much of information on these home made enzyme in English. I’ve found a couple of Chinese sites that explained about the goodness of fruits enzyme and the right methods of doing it.

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*

How long should I ferment if I want it to have sparkling taste?

Posted by JC on November 25, 2008 at 3:57 pm

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!

Hi Gina

You cant add any water, it will spoil the whole thing, coz the mold would grow

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?

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)?

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

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.

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.

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 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.
