Origin: This ceramic is made from a clay and pulverised rock which is
found and excavated near Ena mountain mid-west of Japanese mainland.
The product is the result of over two decades' research and development
by Mr S. Mori, the sole manufacturer of BioCeramica (BC).
BC has the special ability to cause oscillations in the far end of the
infrared spectrum (5 ~ 50 microns), as well as to resonate the centripetal
energy. These subtle energies have the effect of excitation on water
molecules. This property of BC is responsible for the remarkable effects
which it has on substances treated or placed in close proximity to it.
These effects have already been studied in depth, and data produced
by scientists monitoring, for instance the growth of vegetables which
are irrigated with water which has been treated with BC, has been quite
astounding. BC effects also have some great benefits to food manufacture
and processing:
- Organic
materials such as meat, fish, fruit, vegetables etc., can be kept
fresher for longer periods, if stored in containers equipped with
BC, or washed with water which has been in contact with BC. Plates
of BC have been incorporated into storage units such as 'cool cabinets'
with great success - food may be kept fresher and tastier for longer
periods, and the build up of ice precipitation within the refrigeration
unit is avoided.
- BC
also inhibits the growth of bacteria.
- The
flavour and colour retention of foods stored in conjunction with
BC is greatly improved.
- Water,
milk and other liquids which have been passed over BC taste fresher
and tastier.
- Cooking
oils can be used for longer periods if the frying equipment includes
a plate of BC - the oxidation process is reduced by approximately
three times. The oil remains fresher and odour-free for longer,
and the rate at which the oil absorbs and transfers heat to the
item to be cooked is increased, the result being that food is cooked
more quickly evenly and less water loss occurs.
-
Food
may be cooked with plates or small pieces of inert, reusable BC
in the pan or whatever, to improve the flavour of the food; again,
cooking time is actually reduced.
-
Butane
gas, which has been passed through tubes lined with BC, becomes
endowed with energy saving properties. The flame produced from
the gas imparts heat more efficiently to a subject and the gas
actually burns more efficiently so that energy is saved in processes
such as cooking (cooking time is actually reduced), steam production
and sterilisation etc. Food tastes better if it has been cooked
with the treated gas or in the treated water.
-
Trials
using BC in the heating systems of large factories have seen a
drop in fuel consumption of around 20% - even petroleum which
has been passed over BC combusts more efficiently to produce significant
improvement in vehicular petrol consumption, i.e. more miles to
the gallon and less harmful emissions.
-
Plates
of BC built into air conditioning system reduce the staticity
of the air, cause heat or cold to be more evenly distributed within
the body of air, remove bad odours in the air and promote a nicer
atmosphere.
-
Various
components, specially crafted from BC are being incorporated into
an ever increasing range of industrial equipment in Japan - manufacturing
and processing systems etc., for the purpose of increasing output
and quality, reducing energy consumption and sustaining or prolonging
the preservation of the processed material or product.
-
Pads,
for instance, containing BC which are strapped to the backs of
sufferers of severe back pain have had beneficial effects.
-
Experiments
carried out by a test centre authorised by the Ministry of Agriculture
and Fisheries in Japan have shown that fields of rice irrigated
with BC treated water will grow stronger plants which are more
resistant to damage from heavy wind and rain, produce greater
yields and have a greater resistance to disease without the aid
of usual pesticides.
-
Fish
which are bred and reared in water which is treated with BC have
less stress hence are more resistant to infection.
-
BC
also seems to have a remarkable 'bacteria destroying' property.
A public swimming bath in Japan has installed a BC component in
its water recycling system, and subsequent monitoring of the water
has shown that the level of bacteria in the water is now around
140 counts per millilitre compared with 52,000, as it had been
previously.
-
The
marketing of BC in Japan has not only been aimed at the industrial
sector but also to the consumer, by way of numerous devices which
may improve domestic environments such as:- a plate of BC which
may be kept in the refrigerator to deodorise and prevent frost
build-up in the fridge, and keep food fresher for longer; stirring
devices for liquids to improve the taste of tea, coffee, wine,
juice and milk etc.; sections of special piping which can be incorporated
into domestic plumbing or gas piping etc.
-
Natural
fibres which are washed in water treated with BC become softer
more pliable and last longer - for example, hotel and hospital
laundries.
