What is Enzyme

March 19, 2023
The enzyme mentioned here refers to "fruit enzyme", which is a very popular product for weight loss and beauty. But is it really as amazing as it is said to be? Well, let's first understand what enzyme is. The so-called "fruit enzyme" is similar to sauerkraut and fruit wine, in that sugar is added to certain fruits and then sealed and fermented, and the final product is called "fruit enzyme". This is actually a simple fermentation process, not as amazing as you think. The added sugar in the fruit provides food for the bacteria in the fruit to grow and reproduce, and in the process of bacterial metabolism, the sugar is converted into alcohol, lactic acid, and various enzymes.

Enzymes cannot be used for beauty and slimming

Enzyme" is a Japanese word, which was introduced to China later. Enzymes are actually a collection of various enzymes and their products. During the fermentation process of enzymes, it is impossible to analyze the types of bacteria and enzymes. It may produce an enzyme that can make people lighter, but it produces more enzymes and their products that we cannot predict, so it is impractical to rely on enzymes for beauty.

Enzymes should not be taken orally

Enzyme is an enzyme, and most enzymes are proteins with catalytic activity. The basis for their activity to exist must be to ensure the structural integrity of the protein. But as we know, ordinary proteins, when eaten in the stomach, the intestine and stomach will digest and break them down as ordinary proteins, which eventually make up the proteins our body needs, and at this time, enzymes lose their activity.

Enzymes are not as safe as kimchi

In our ancestors' lives, we have actually created many foods like enzymes. If you replace fruits with fresh vegetables and add a lot of water to ferment them, what you get is our common kimchi; if you replace fruits with soybeans, what you get is even a common seasoning item in the kitchen - soy sauce; of course, you can also use glutinous rice instead of fruits and ferment out rice wine ...... but these But these traditional processes, which have been repeatedly practiced by our ancestors, are extremely unlikely to produce harmful ingredients as long as the process is strictly observed. Compared with them, "fruit enzyme" is much more uncertain because of its short production time and immature process. Of course, we can make fruit enzymes for fun, but it is up to you whether to eat it or not.
