Chapter 27 Reducing Food Spoilage

Would it be possible to retard the spoilage of food. If so this could come in very handy in a power outage or in areas where refrigeration is not possible, (how about on that next camping trip?)

Peter Köhne of Munovamos in Germany tried the following experiment with excellent results. (see Color Plate I) He started with some fresh (unpasteurized) apple juice and orange juice and divided them into two equal parts. He then balanced one portion of the apple juice and left the other portion in its natural state. He repeated the process with the orange juice and put all four portions on a heater for two weeks.

In Color Plate I you can see the difference in the ‘SE-5 balanced’ cultures and the ‘normal’ cultures. Try this procedure for yourself.

Procedure:

1. Normal Startup.

2. Take a photo of the food to be balanced or make the program and use the Light Cable around the Samples when balancing.

3. Type in a Custom Program:

“FTHG ELIMINATE BACTERIA”

“EXTEND SHELF LIFE”

“RETARD SPOILAGE”

“INHIBIT MOLD GROWTH”

“INCREASE WHITE LIGHT”

“INCREASE VITALITY”

“RETAIN VITAMINS AND MINERALS”

“REFRIGERATION”

4. If you are using the Light Cable, wrap the cable around the food container or if it is small enough, put it on the Detector Plate.

5. Switch the MEASURE Switch into the BALANCE position with the Amplitude Knob at 100.

6. Start your Custom Program.

Notes: You can also run the built in Agriculture Program as well which can help balance many other aspects of the food IDFs.
