I think bruised fruits and veggies are rotting. They are being destroyed by bacteria and fungi.
Also people do not realize that most vegetables are still alive in a sense. They consume oxygen and carbon dioxide and continue to ripen after picking. They give off water vapor too, as they live on. All living things contain enzymes. Not all enzymes are digestive. There are enzymes composed of cofactors (either a mineral or vitamin like B12) that produce energy in your body's cells, and repair tissue, etc.
This is an overview and explanation of what the word "enzyme" means:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme
Most enzymes are made of proteins, and as such are vulnerable to the high pH of the stomach (very acidic). As such they do not survive and many are digested there.
