Is there any evidence to suggest that fruit enzymes can break down the dextrins in wort or are you just hypothesizing?Many fruits like mango contains digestive enzymes like the ones to convert starch to sugar. They can lead to dry beer.
Hello it is well known that they contain the digestive enzymes amylases.
The amylase enzymes in mangoes become more active as the fruit ripens. This is why mangoes become sweeter as they start to ripen. Amylase enzymes are also made by the pancreas and salivary glands. They help break down carbs so that they are easily absorbed by the body. Recently it was also discovered and published in science journals that even Hops contain similar enzymes. This is especially true in cases of hoppy beers like IPA etc.
It is common knowledge in India that certain fruits aid in digestion like papaya, bananas, mangoes etc
