Date: September 28, 2009 09:00PM Can anyone give me a "definitive" answer about organic frozen fruit (and unblanched) vegetables? I use frozen fruit in my smoothies when fresh is not available, and always thought I was getting live enzymes?
What is the verdict on frozen fruit? enzymes or no enzymes? Thanks for any help! Jilli Re: do frozen fruits have live enzymes?

Date: September 29, 2009 01:54AM I have taken digestive enzymes in the past in which they preferred if you froze them if you were not using them. The company said the enzymes are preserved in the cold temperature, but the problem comes in when the enzymes hit moisture. They said make sure the lid is on tight.
I don't know if moisture activates them? Fruits naturally have water in them, so I don't know how that would work. Re: do frozen fruits have live enzymes?

Date: September 29, 2009 03:07AM I think there is some, but not total, nutrient loss, and I don't have a percentage for you. I do think that something chilled in the freezer for 8 hours is better than something that has been in there for 3 months. Re: do frozen fruits have live enzymes?

Date: September 29, 2009 04:01AM Doesn't matter, the enzymes in food don't affect our digestion. That theory has been disproven. What is important are nutrients and those are affected by freezing. It's not optimal, if you can have it fresh that's always best, but frozen is close. Re: do frozen fruits have live enzymes?

Date: September 29, 2009 11:57PM My own experience is that freezing is fine for those not concerned with eating 100% raw. There is little nutrient loss - but freezing does crystallize water and burst cell walls...degrading the quality of the food. If it works for you, go for it.

Could you post a link to a resource that disproves enzymes in food do not effect our digestion? I'm not doubting you, I'd just like to read more about it. One of the main "battle cries" of the Raw Food Experts are about the enzymes and digestion... it would be a little disturbing if it's totally not true 
Thanks Bill Re: do frozen fruits have live enzymes?

Date: October 05, 2009 04:34PM I read recently somewhere that according to research that was done, frozen fruits and vegetables actually have a lot more nutritients (and presumably enzymes) than dried fruits and vegetables. Coco is right about enzymes, though: they aren't as big a deal as was previously thought. Sharrhan:

Date: October 07, 2009 10:31AM we did an enzyme exp in ourbio class once. we froze the enzymes, and the enzymes were alive, only inactive. take that for what you will. Re: do frozen fruits have live enzymes?

Date: October 24, 2015 04:38PM How did you come to the conclusion that the enzymes were inactive. If they are alive, that must show movement. Did you supply enzymes with some work to do for digestion? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
