Blueberry Enzyme-A New Industry for Health of Mankind

Cong YuThe General Manager of Jin-Yes Enzyme

1. What are enzymes?—They are basic ingredients of

life.

• Originally, enzymes were attached importance to in Taiwan and then, in Southeast Asia. However, the people in the mainland of China have not recognized the functions of enzymes until much later. Insufficiency of enzymes is the first health hazard for mankind.

• I believe that many of us have a question. That is “what are enzymes?” Simply speaking, the enzyme, which is also called ferment, mainly consists of over 20 multi-amino acids. The enzymes are classified by functions into six categories, namely, oxidation-reduction enzyme, transferase, hydrolase, resolvase, isomerase and synthesis proenzyme.

So far, there have been thousands of known enzymes and each enzyme has its specific functions. That is to say, lipase cannot be used to decompose protein. And this specialty is called “specificity” of enzymes. Working as the biocatalysts, the enzymes participate in all physiological activities of the human body. None of these complicated or simple psychological activities, including decomposition of the food that has been taken in by the body, synthesis and metabolism of the body, can occur without the involvement of enzymes. Extensively acting on all organs and tissues of the human body, the enzymes do not merely play their roles for a specific point or part of the human body, but function as essential substances necessary for the whole body. Although the human body is able to produce enzymes, this kind of ability may be reduced due to the internal and external causes, such as the increasing age, maturing of the body, environmental contamination, inappropriate dieting habits, irregular lifestyle, abuse of drugs, etc, so that the activity of enzymes becomes weaker and that the whole enzyme metabolic system is negatively affected.

• Enzymes are proteins that are produced by the living body and have the catalytic function. Nearly all chemical changes of a living body occur with the help of such function of enzymes. As the indispensible substance to maintain life and activity of cells as well as the important compositions of cells, enzymes are the indicators that determine health and illness status of mankind. Involved in all kinds of chemical changes of a living body, the enzymes, as special proteins, are essential ingredients of life for us. The psychological changes, such as digestion of food, actions of hands and feet, thinking of the brain and so on, do not cease at any time in a living body and hence, the enzymes are also involved throughout these activities. The nutrients that we take in from food are mainly starch and their sources are principally whole grains. In addition, glycogen from meats and livers of animals, lactose from cow’s milk and fructose from fruits are also the energy sources of mankind.

2. Why do we need to drink enzymes?

It is everyone’s wish to have a healthy body. However, you can see a great number of people suffering from kinds of chronic diseases everywhere. What cause these diseases? I think we the reasons are nothing more than the following ones:

• 1. As a result of overdevelopment, our living environment teams with pollutants and hazardous or poisonous substances.

• 2. Some people have not developed proper common sense on nutrition and health care and fail to adhere to the principle of “nutritionally balanced”, giving rise to dietary bias and nutritional disorder.

• 3. Some people do not know and it is difficult for them to obtain the nutritionally balanced food.

• 4. Some people try to maintain a healthy status by excessively relying on medicines, but have not realize that the fundamental way to achieve a healthy status and longevity is to take in the vital energy from the most “primitive” food.

• 5. Some people have not developed the concept of life cultivation and health preservation. They do not see a doctor until being attacked by a disease and hardly realize that health care is more important than treatment.

The above-mentioned are the main reasons causing the unhealthy status of modern people while drinking enzymes is the optimal way to health care. Enzymes are food-like, but not drug-like drinks and are purely nature. They contain all kinds of nutrients necessary for the human body so that they can replenish those nutrients that are insufficient and hard to take in by the body, hence achieving the effect of balanced nutrition.

3. Diagnose diseases from the perspective of enzymes

Enzymes are indispensible for metabolism in the human body and play an essential role in the body activities, ranging from secretion of glands to normal operations of the immune system. This is only a rough description of the relation between enzymes and the human body. As a matter of fact, enzymes are found nearly related to all well-known diseases when we analyze these diseases.

• Too much enzymes in blood may be the harbingers of some diseases. Lipase decomposes triglyceride into fatty acid. Pancreas will secrete a great deal of fat into the digestive tracts since it has obtained much lipase from blood. Therefore, too much lipase in the blood may suggest the problem of pancreas. When the pancreas becomes inflamed, the lipase content in serum will rise.

• Phosphoric acid exists in prostate, erythrocytes and blood platelets of the human body and can be decomposed in blood by phosphatase. Therefore, we can diagnose whether a patient has developed prostatic cancer by determining the phosphatase content in his serum. Enzymes do not only play an important role in food digestion, but also have considerable function for diseases and other metabolisms. In fact, the rate of metabolism is controlled by enzymes. The faster the rate is, the more enzymes are needed and the earlier they are used up.

• Sports and acute diseases can both sharply increase secretion of enzymes. In 1933, Dr. Jenner obtained three amylase values from 115 patients who suffered from 28 acute inflammations, respectively. The amylase values of 73% of test samples rose and this value also increased in the blood, urine and excrement samples of the patients with pneumonia, acute appendicitis, malaria, tuberculosis, fever or paediatric diseases.

• Rise of the rate of any metabolism, including fever, cardiorespiratory activity, digestion, muscular activity or pregnancy, is related to increase of the enzyme activities.

• More importantly, the higher the temperature is, the more enzyme activities there are. Therefore, the activities of enzymes are extensively seen when a patient suffers from an acute disease, fever or when he/she does sports. In other words, the workload of enzymes is higher at 40℃ than the normal body temperatures.

• Apparently, the enzyme activities have a direct correlation with the disease-resistant system of the body when they have response to a fever or inflammation. But we should bear in mind that the enzyme activities decrease when the fever is gone.

• In effect, enzyme can be used up more easily when our metabolic rate increases (e.g., in the course of illness, detoxification or digestion). This tells us how important it is to maintain sufficient enzyme content in our bodies. It is true that we can defend the attack of diseases when we are young. However, this is achieved at the price of overspending enzymes in the body.

• The immunity is closely related to the storage of enzymes in the body. The higher the storage is, the stronger the immunity of the body is, and hence the healthier the person is.

• Enzymes, which are like scavengers in the human body, can absorb and decompose foreign substances in a bid to prevent clogged arteries and maintain flexibility of joints.

4. Functions and Intake of Enzymes

• In view of a variety of enzymes, the International Enzyme Committee has defined the systemic naming rules for them.

• As we know, in Chinese, the name of each kind of enzymes is ended with “Mei”, which means enzyme. Therefore, we can judge the function of an enzyme from its name. E.g., the protease can catalyze protein-related reactions, the lipase can catalyze fat-related reactions, the cellulose can catalyze cellulose-related reactions and the amylase can catalyze starch-related reactions.

The Five Functions of Enzymes:

1. Improvement of physical fitness—Enzymes can make the body slightly alkaline, remove the foreign substances in the body and maintain balance of enteric bacterium.

2. Decomposition—Enzymes can help to digest and decompose food and accelerate adsorption of heat and nutrition by the body to sustain life.

3. Regeneration of cells—Enzymes can help proliferation of healthy cells and regeneration of damaged cells.

4. Antibiosis and anti-inflammatory action—Enzymes can induce and strengthen the antiseptic functions of white cells and help to remove the invading germs and festers.

5. Blood purification—Enzymes can decompose and remove toxins and hazardous cholesterols in the blood as well as blood fat so that the blood vessels can be kept unobstructed.

1. Enzymes exist in bodies of all kinds of animals and plants and hence can be taken in through our daily diet. However, one of the features of enzymes is its inadaptability to high temperature. Therefore, any cooking method involving heating, such as canning, heating, disinfection, baking, roasting, stewing or deep frying can destroy nearly all enzymes in the

food.

Since they are so important to the human body, how can we take in enzymes in our daily life?

2. Most people eat cooked food as a result of our dietary habit and can only obtain very limited amount of enzymes from food. This can increase the loads of enzyme-secreting organs, such as the liver, pancreas, spleen, etc, and result in degeneration of functions of the digestive organs and other human tissues. Therefore, in a view to replenishing enzymes necessary for our bodies, we should take in botanical enzyme liquid or powder to reduce the loads of the organs and tissues and maintain the normal functionality of the body, in addition to obtaining them from uncooked food.

5. Enzymes Change our Whole Life,Making us Enjoy

a healthy, beautiful and longer life

The following improvements can be fully achieved by long-term and gradual adsorption of enzymes by the body:

◎The visceral organs can be well maintained. → The stomach can have a good rest.

◎The potential ability of the body can be uplifted. → We may feel full of physical strength.

◎The body cells can be revitalized. → we can keep the young and beautiful status for long.

◎The bowels can be cleaned. → A hygienic status of the bowels can be achieved.

◎The assimilation of the body can be strengthened. → The ability to nutrition adsorption is bettered.

◎The immunity is increased. → The functions of white cells can be built up.

6. Magical Effects of Enzymes

Different enzymes have different characteristics. Therefore, they have amazing and magical effects in our daily life, apart from their special improvements for human health. For instance,

1. Honey egg juice: The whole egg can become nutritious and healthy beverage with splendid taste after being decomposed by the fruit enzyme (brewed in boiled water or ice water).

2. Facial treatment: Thanks to their function of decomposition, enzymes can help to remove wastes that have accumulated in the pores as well as keratins in the faces.

3. Periodontal pains: To cure inflammation of or remove the dead cells from the gums is quite difficult, but an ideal effect can be achieved for either of the above diseases by holding in the mouth enzymes before sleep.

4. Meat cooking: When cooking meats, such as stir-fried beef or stir-fried large intestine with garlic shoots, we may slice the meat into cubes and soak it in enzyme-containing water for 20 minutes before cooking. Such a cooking way will make the meat perfectly tender.

5. Rice cooking: Wash the rice and then soak it in enzyme-containing water for about minutes. Do not wash the rice again, but put it directly into the electric cooker and cook it. Such an approach will ensure the cooked rice sweet and tasty.

6. Treatment of scalds: If you are scalded, you should wash the wound with cold water for 5-10 minutes and apply enzyme powder onto it, which will help to achieve the effects of anti-inflammation, reduction of swelling and removal of bubbles.

7. Parasite expelling: Children or pets that suffer from parasites (e.g., roundworms, pinworms) in their bowels can excrete most of the parasites after taking enzymes for three days successively.

8. Refreshment: The sale food, especially meats, means that some cells in it are dead. You can soak it in water with enzyme powder for 20 minutes so as to decompose the dead cells and refresh the food.

7. On Homemade Enzymes• The homemade enzymes are made based on the fact that enzymes

abound in fruits. The bacteria will produce gases, ferment or even go mouldy as long as they are provided with sugar, which is consumed as food of bacteria. However, it is recommended that we’d better not eat the food that has been fermented with the bacteria in the air as the content of enzymes in it is very low and cannot substitute for the digestive enzymes of those potential enzymes, thus having very limited positive functions for the human body. Instead, such food may hazard our health if the harmful bacteria, such as the common escherichia coli, are mixed into it carelessly. The enzymes produced in such a way are used as fertilizers or detergents, but are seldom eaten by people or used in health care.

• Blended enzymes are the original enzyme fluid into which some complex ingredients are added and thus the natural ingredients of enzyme have been changed. The blended enzymes have low activity and fewer enzyme consortiums, but contain more infectious and hazardous microbes.

• Accordingly, we must fully comprehend and publicize the knowledge on enzymes so that we can recognize the high-quality enzymes and facilitate the spread of healthful concepts. We should try to avoid jeopardizing our health due to pursuit to health. Otherwise, the loss will outweigh the gain.

8. Rigorous Manufacturing Process of Blueberry

Enzyme• Founded in 2013, Jingye Biotech Co., Ltd is a modern plant integrating

research and development, fermentation, maturation and bulking. The level of our clean work zone is far beyond the requirements for a food-grade enterprise. Meanwhile, we have the internationally most advanced fermentation system, the annual enzyme capacity of which is over 3000 tons, and our plant is the largest base of research and development and production of enzymes in Asia.

• In the course of blueberry enzyme production, the most advanced acid-base oxidizing water is used in the cleaning and disinfecting system, which has been designated the special technique for the 2008 Olympic Games. Our enzyme products are manufactured by the dominant bacteria technique, with the 13 strains of dominant bacteria originating from University of Pennsylvania of USA. As the core productivity, the fermentation strain plays the irreplaceable role in the process of production. Moreover, the adoption of air-controlled fermentation technique has effectively increase the reproductive rate and growth activity, reduced the fermentation cycle and overcome the disadvantage that the amount of active cultures decreases with the increase of acidity and which often occurs in the traditional natural fermentation process.

We have chosen to build our plant in Qingdao, the beautiful coastal city of China, and selected the blueberry enzyme, a new kind of compound enzyme product that is made principally from blueberry, as our product. The enzymes extracted from blueberry are better than those from other fruits and boast of special effects that other fruit enzymes do not have. Meanwhile, in the course of production, we have adopted the foodstuff process method introduced from Taiwan, which is distinct from other processes. Furthermore, we adopt the completely aseptic high-press fermentation method in terms of treatment of blueberry, which helps to successfully preserve the biogenic elements and obtain the complete enzymes in blueberry. By doing so, we can secure the intact blueberry enzyme, the important bio-enzyme which originally hides deeply inside the blueberry, following appropriate processing, so that it can be directly applied by the human body. Our products stand for a new milestone on the journey of development of the blueberry industry.

Anthocyanin, an ingredient that originally exists in blueberry, is well preserved in the blueberry and hence ensures that the they can live in the human body thanks to the activity of the probiotic bacteria. In fact, many a function of the blueberry can be attributed to the high content of natural pigments in it. Dr. Ronald Prior of the nutrition center of USDA have found that the content of pigments in blueberry is much higher than other fruits by comparing their contents of blueberry fruits from different places and of different kinds. The flavonoids compounds may be depleted with the tradition blueberry processing method, as damages the precious nutritive value of blueberry. By contrast, our processing method can effectively preserve the above compounds because we can strictly control the fermentation conditions with our processing method and have set rigid requirements for the activity of probiotic bacteria in the course of fermentation. Jingye’s manufacturing processing of blueberry enzyme, which dwarfs all of the blended enzymes, can effectively avoid loss of nutrients and stands for the edible method of a new era.

　The blueberry industry is the most healthy industry and the blueberry enzyme is the health cause worthy of our full devotion and commitment. I hope that all of the peers in this industry will spare no effort and create a new height for the blueberry health cause.
