How to DIY Fruits Enzymes





Ensure cutting board, knife, fruits, bottles are clean and DRY !!!
If there is any exposure of water, it will be spoilted.
Lay the bottom layer with fruits, then sugar, then fruits.... alternative until 3/4 of the bottle.
Put alot of sugar on the top layer...
Speeds up fermentation process.




Ensure the bottle is air-tight.
Open to release the gas accumulated, and mix evenly every 3days
Ready to be consumed after 2weeks times.
Each day limited to 30cc.
Will updates pics on the process of fermentation.
Hope i can be slimmer .... Wahhahaah

Enzymes Biological Functions

Luckily i am not those smart elite nor i am in biology.
I will surrender by memorizing those "hard-to-remember" enzymes names, structures, mechanism, biological functions. HENG !!
After reading all the informations, I came up with summarys of Enzymes
Any smart BIO people , please enlighten me if i am wrong ya.
.
What is Enzyme ??
Enzymes are protein molecules which is responsible for all biological activities in human cells. Enzymes serve a wide variety of functions inside living organisms. Enzymes are organic catalysts , one of the important functions for digestive systems, increase the rate at which foods are broken down and absorbed by the body and help various metabolic functions in the body take place.
.
Enzyme = Life
Can be produced or obtained by
~ Internal : Produced by our internal organs
~ External : Obtained through consuming food / fruits.
.
Thousands type of enzymes exists, with a role to play in different organs in our body.
Some of the main functionalities of enzymes are:
1. Maintain a high alkaline blood ph , to naturally allow breathing in the organs.
2. Improve and strength immune system
3. Improve digestive system and aids constipation
4. Antioxidant power
5. Protect our cells from free radical damage. Promotes the growth of new , healthy cells.
6. Lower cholesterol level.
.
.
Enzyme are also used in industrial application:
1. Dairy industry
2. Paper industry
3. Biofuel industry
4. Biological detergent / cleaners products
5. Contact lens cleaners
6. Rubber industry etc.

水果酵素 / 环保酵素 ???

There is 2 types of DIY enzymes:



1. 水果酵素

Fruits Enzyme

(Human consumption)

Ingredients: Fermentation of fresh fruits and sugar

Benefits : Improve and strength immune system.....Improve digestive system and aids constipation.....Antioxidant power.....Protect our cells and promotes growth of new, healthy cells. Lower cholesterol level.....Use as Meat Tenderizers....Maintain a high alkaline blood ph , to naturally allow breathing in the organs.

(What do organs breath ?? If your answer is OXYGEN, give yourself a clap..)




2. 环保酵素

Garbage Enzyme

(Non consumption.)

Ingredients: Fruits Dregs (orange peel, pineapple peel, pomelo peel etc) or Vegetable dregs.

Benefits and Usage : Read my previous posting "Garbage Enzyme DIY 环保酵素"

Garbage Enzyme DIY 环保酵素

DIY Preparation:
1. Air-Tight Plastic Containers
Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand

2. Fruits Dregs
I prefer pineapple (sweet fragrances) and orangle skin peels.

3. Brown Sugar
Do not use white sugar (processed). Brown sugar speeds up the process of fermentation.

4. Water
Easy, straight from the tap.


Portion Ratio:
1 : 3 : 10
Brown Sugar : Fruits Dregs : Water


Instructions:
Step 1 :
Dilute brown sugar in water, add in fruit dregs (whichever you prefer).
Leave some space in the container for fermentation.
Make sure it is air-tight !!

Step 2:
During the 2weeks, stir the container every 3 days. Gases will be released during fermentation process. Release the pressure built up in the container to avoid rupturing.

Step 3:
Push the floating garbage downward every once in a while.

Step 4:
Place at cool, dry and well ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight
Let the mixure ferment for at least 3 months before use.
If you have not gathered enough kitchen waste, you may fill up the container gradually.
The 3 month fermentation period start from the day you place your last batch of kitchen waste.

Garbage enzyme is at its best after 6 months of fermentation.
The longer it takes, the better it gets. Garbage enzyme will never expire.
Do not store in the refrigerator ! No need to waste that space in refrigerator !

Some notes:
1. Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand for gas release.
2. Garbage for making enzyme does NOT INCLUDE paper,plastic, metal or glass materials.
3. Avoid oily cooked food, fish or meat residues (can be used as garden compost material), To make a fresh smelling enzyme, add orange, lemon peel etc.
4. The ideal colour of garbage enzyme is dark brown. If it turned black, add in same amount of sugar to start fermentation process again.
5. It may have a white, black or brown layer on top of the enzyme, Ignore it. If you encounter flies and worms in the container, leave it and the chemical reaction of enzyme will resolve them naturally. Close and seal the cover tightly.
6. Make full use of garbage enzyme residue:
~ Sun-dry and reuse for next production by adding fresh garbage.
~ Use as fertilizer by drying the residue, blend it and bury in the ground
~ Grind the residue, pour into toilet bowl, add some brown sugar and flush to help purify sewage.
7. Help protect our ozone layer, if every household utilised their garbage to produce garbage enzyme, It can stop kitchen waste from polluting our land and meanwhile generate enough ozone gas to ease global warming.

You can help change the climate and save the earth!

What's Earth-Saving Enzyme? 环保酵素

This is interesting, Earth-Saving Enzyme = Garbage Enzyme 环保酵素
The word "Garbage" is a turn off.

But Garbage enzyme is the solution to recover our ozone layer and lower the global temperature.

Its is known to our ancestors but we have forgotten about the formula, and purchase well-known household cleaning products. From dish washing, floor cleaning, pesticides, etc.
Imagine the amount of chemicals we have disposed these centuries, and the amount of harms and pollution to the earth.

I decided to find out more and share these humble informations about Garbage Enzyme.
And also DIY enzyme for my own usage.

What is Garbage Enzyme?
Garbage enzyme is a complex solution produced by fermentation of :

1. Fresh kitchen waste (fruits and vegetables dregs (least desirable portion like pineapple , orange skin))
2. Brown sugar (brown speed up the fermentation process, than processed white sugar.)
3. Water.

It is dark brown and has a strong sweet sour fermented scent. Garbage enzyme is a multipurpose liquid and its applications covers household, agriculture, animal husbandry etc.

Change Climate
From 1st day, you start making garbage enzyme, its catalyses process .
The mixture will release ozone gas (O3).
O3 can reduce carbon dioxide (C02) in the atmo sphere and heavy metal that traps heat in the cloud. Hence heat can be released from the Earth, Reducing greenhouse and global warming effects.
Enzyme convert ammonia to nitrate (NO3), a natural hormone and nutrient for plants. Meanwhile it converts carbon dioxide to carbonate (C03) which is beneficial to sea plants and marine life.

So by cleaning your floor with Earth-saving enzyme, you are contributing to the earth even its drain down the pipe!

Benefits of Earth-Saving Enzyme

1. Save money:
Turn kitchen waste to DIY natural house-hold cleaners.


2. Multi-Purpose:
Natural household cleaner; air purifier; deodoriser; insecticide; detergent; body care; car care: organic fertiliser, etc

3. Reduce pollution:
Methane gas (Cow dung, fruits/ Vegetable dregs wastage) released from disposed garbage can trap 21 times more heat than CO2, worsen the global warming condition. By recycle the fruits to make the enzyme, it will release ozone gas (O3) and reduce carbon dioxide (C02) in the atmo sphere

4. Purify air:
Remove odour. Dissolve toxic air released from smoking, car exhaust, chemical residues from household products, etc.


5. Purity underground water:
Enzyme that flow underground will eventually purify the river and the sea.

6. Natural pesticides:
Reduce mosquitoes, flies, ants or cockroaches etc.


7. Anti-bacterial and virus:
Natural antiseptic for your home.

8. Prevent drain pipe blockage:
Release residues accumulated in the pipe of basins or toilet bowls.


Chemicals use in household cleaning products , are you able to name some or know what is the ingredient???

There is only 4 ingredients for the Earth-Saving Enzyme :
~ Fruits Dregs
~ Brown Sugar
~ Water
~ Passion to save the earth, and reduce global warming.
