Useful Tips & Update - Enzyme

It's almost a year since I prepared my drinking enzyme. It was ready for consumption in February 2009 (after six months) but I deliberately left it untouched. All drinking enzymes must be left to ferment for a minimum of 6 months, if not longer.

Fruits left to ferment turns alcoholic in the first month (when you drink you can taste the mild alcoholic content) so it is not so healthy for your liver if you are going to consume these enzymes in the long run. In the second month it turns to vinegar and only after the third month it turns to a healthy drink, people call enzyme. The longer you ferment it, the more potent it is. I only need to use a small capful of the enzyme to 1.5 liter of water and not drink it neat like a fruit juice.

I used raw organic honey with various fruits (dragon fruit, oranges, pineapple, apples, papaya, lemon ..... I can't remember what else). Using sugar is a no no as it again produces alcholic content.

See how clear the liquid is and the 3 layers of contents. The longer you ferment it, the clearer the liquid. After 3 months of fermentation, the liquid was darkish yellow but now, after almost a year, it has turned to clear golden yellow.

Bottom most layer - fermented fruits

Middle layer - murky enzyme mixed with fermented fruit residue
Top layer - clear drinking enzyme

Drinking Enzyme Latest Update

Drinking enzymes must be cultured for at least 6 months. During the first month, it turns to alcohol base and from the second month it eventually becomes vinegar base. This bottle was made on 23 August 2008 and is ready for consumption on 22 February 2009 but I have yet to have the first taste of it. The longer you culture it, the better the potion All the fruits have sunken to the bottom leaving behind 2/3 of the bottle, an almost crystal clear enzyme. The residues at the bottom of the bottle can be poured onto flower pots or some even make jam out of it

Garbage Enzyme UPDATE

I made 4 bottles of Garbage Enzymes (1 orange only/1 apple+pear/2 pineapple+orange) yesterday. Normally one would throw in all the wastes from the kitchen but I have chosen to do just garbage fruit enzyme as it will definitely smell good. When I opened the bottles up this morning, I was welcomed by the sweet smelling fragrance of the fruits. I particularly like the fragrance coming from the pineapple+oranges as it gives off some kind of a sweet tangy refreshing aroma. And I also believe that pineapple is a more effective cleansing agent as it has astringent properties.

Garbage Enzyme - Natural Home Antiseptic

Turn your kitchen wastes (fruits and vegetables) to valuable DIY cleaners and at the same time help recover ozone layer and lower global temperature.

Garbage enzyme is produced by the fermentation of kitchen wastes (fruits and vegetables) together with brown sugar and water. This process will release ozone gas (O3) which will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and heavy metal that traps heat in the cloud. Hence heat can be released from the Earth, reducing greenhouse and global warming effects.

How To Make Garbage Enzyme
1. 1 part sugar
2. 3 parts fruit/vegetable dregs
3. 10 parts water

* Dilute sugar in water. Add in fruit/vegetable dregs
* Leave about a third of space in air tight plastic container for fermentation
* Close it tight
* During first month, open cap twice a day to release gas
* Push the floating garbage downward once in a while
* Place in cool ventilated area
* Ferment for 3 months before use

Usage:
+ As natural herbicides, fertiliser and to improve quality of fruits
+ Floor cleaner
+ Dish washer

Making Enzyme Workshop

Day 1 Enzyme

Day 3 Enzyme

The more I speak to people about making enzymes, the more I worry over the little knowledge people has and instead of improving their health in consuming their own home made enzyme, it can actually do more harm. There are some books on the shelves on DIY enzymes. Because of the lack of workshops being conducted (especially in English), many people go pick up a copy of this bi-lingual DIY Enzyme and start experimenting on their own.

As I focus my energies on enzyme I had the good fortune of doing an enzyme workshop in English. As the facilitator simply puts it "my English is klik klak" but it's her store house of knowledge on enzymes that really matters. Apart from making enzymes she shared with the 30-40 participants on the holistic approach to good health and happiness.

The workshop touched on the following :
1. Drinking Enzymes - different usage (drinking, cooking, washing vegetables and fruits, boiling soup etc etc)
2. Garbage Enzymes - different usage
3. Simple effective exercises to rid simple ailments such as backaches, neck pains, for bowel movement
4. Recipes : Alkaline water, Liver detox, Rice Mill, Korean Kimchi
5. Many many more invaluable tips
