What Is Non Sugar Natural Digestive Enzymes
Lime flower honey is used in non-sugar enzyme DIY. Is it a form of glucose too?
~ Answer:
Lime flower honey or wi Id honey is a combination of glucose and fructose. Low amount of honey helps to activate the fermentation process. This glucose and fructose will also be converted into alcohol and with very low Icvcl residue remaining. When the fermentation matures, these substances will be fully decomposed.
However, using sugar will result in fermented enzyme containing high level of alcohol and sugar residue. Diabetics are not advised to consume such products.
