Fruit Enzyme

Read about this enzyme sometime ago in another blog which trigger my curiousity to read up more about it. After seeing it again in HKChoo's blog, and her detail explaination on the whole process of making it. I also ask another blogger Nicole for other details as she has some experience in making it.

Finally decided to make it two weeks ago, all the ingredients was just estimation as I didn't expect it to be successful. I use 4 oranges, 1 1/2 lemon, 11/2 pack of brown rock sugar this round. The content of the bottle of fruits on day 1....



I didn't stir the content everyday as I only go home during weekends, so only manage to stir it once a week later. Nicole did warn about content getting mouldy if not stirring it after 3-4 days. It taste and looks ok after 1 week.


This is how it looks after 2 weeks...

The enzyme looks ok and taste sweet with a slight wine smell. Probably the sweetness is from the amount the sugar added, think I added too much sugar. Think it didn't spoilt cos my family got no problem after drinking it....haha.

  1. i beg to differ, doubt it will grow mouldy if not stirred loh. i wasn't aware of the stirring, or rather, whirling of the bottle for my 1st bottle, and it's still ok, just sharing my little experience. HTH.

  3. Hi.

    I have made quite a few enzymes such as grapes,dragonfruit,orange,kiwi....

    Actually you can taste the enzyme on the 3rd or 4th day(after stiring), if is too sweet then you add in more fruit, if too sour then add in more brown rock sugar. After that, everyday, no need to open and stir, just shake to ensure that is "evenly shake".

    mould is likely due to water. Shouldn't have any contact with water, be it the fruit, container, knife,....

    hope that it helps....
