Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous complex organic acid solution derived from humic substances containing fulvic acid, and to the aqueous complex organic acid solution produced by the method. [Background technology]

[0002] A method for producing a humic acid-derived fulvic acid solution containing fulvic acid and humic acid suitable for drinking has been known (Patent No. 6095110), which involves extracting humus from soil organic matter and subjecting it to two aging processes. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6095110 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The prior art method uses humus soil to produce a fulvic acid solution, but because it requires the use of specific humus soil, it takes a long period of time (three years) to sterilize the soil and obtain a liquid suitable for drinking, and low-temperature sterilization is required for sterilization. This makes it difficult to stably produce a fulvic acid solution, and it takes a relatively long time to sterilize the soil. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In Patent Document 1, humus soil from a specific region is used, so there are regional limitations on the procurement of raw materials. If humus soil from another region is to be used, a period of time is required to consider its suitability before production.

[0006] In addition, in Patent Document 1, the primary and secondary aging processes require many steps and periods to make the product sterile and odorless enough for drinking, which means it takes a long time, more than three years, to commercialize. Furthermore, the amount of raw materials secured is small, so only small amounts can be provided. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The present invention provides a method for producing a humic substance-derived complex organic acid aqueous solution containing fulvic acid, which is sterilized in a relatively short maturation period using readily available raw wood chips, and which is odorless and drinkable.

[0008] The present invention uses raw wood chips, which eliminates the influence of impurities contained in the soil, thereby suppressing the production of humic acid. Because the production of humic acid is suppressed, there is no harsh or bitter taste when drinking. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] The present invention relates to a method for producing a humic substance-derived complex organic acid aqueous solution containing fulvic acid using wood chips, and to the complex organic acid aqueous solution. Pruned branches and leaves of standing trees can be used as raw wood chips, and the type of tree is not specified. However, in this example, a production method using broadleaf trees such as sawtooth oak and beech, and coniferous trees such as cedar and cypress is described. It has been confirmed that various tree species, such as sycamore, zelkova, and cherry, can also be used.

[0014] The raw materials used in this invention are pruned branches and leaves harvested from standing trees in mountain forests or urban areas, and the pruned branches and leaves are chipped, without using manure. The pruned branches and leaves used as compost raw materials are crushed into pieces of about 1 to 4 cm in length, which makes it easier to cut them back during the primary maturation process, as described below.

[0015] Pruned branches and leaves are composted by spraying a certain amount of iron oxide solution on chipped pruned branches and leaves as a catalyst to promote fermentation. The amount of iron oxide solution to be sprayed is about 400 to 1000 ml per cubic meter of pruned branch and leaf chips, and it is best to spray it with a watering can. Fermented aerosols can also be used as a fermentation accelerator.

[0016] <Primary aging process> A thermometer is inserted into a 1-ton pile of pruned branch and leaf chips, and the rise in chip temperature is measured. Turning is performed when the chip temperature reaches 70°C or higher, preferably 80°C. The temperature measured is the temperature inside the chips, measuring the compost heat at least 50 cm from the surface. After turning the chips several times, the temperature is measured again a few days later. When the compost heat reaches 80°C, turning is performed again to allow the compost to mature. Pruned branch and leaf chips are turned several times when the compost heat reaches 80°C, and turning is repeated when the compost heat reaches 80°C again. After about three months in summer and four months in winter, the compost heat will not rise above about 50°C, and the compost will be fully matured. The temperature at which full maturity is determined can be changed depending on the season; in summer, it can be set to below 60°C.

[0017] The fully matured compost is left to mature in a cool, dark place for a certain period of time, for example, six months or more, and then, in order to proceed to the secondary maturation process, it is crushed in a crusher, preferably a grash mixer, until the particle size reaches the specified particle size of 10 mm or less, preferably 5 mm or less, and then the secondary maturation process begins.

[0018] <Secondary aging treatment> After crushing the fully matured compost, it is placed in an aeration tank and soaked in fresh water at a weight ratio of 1 part compost to 10 parts fresh water. This is followed by a secondary maturation process, which involves repeated aeration and agitation. After this, aeration and agitation are repeated every specified period (2-3 days), and the organic matter begins to decay, resulting in the development of a putrid odor. As this process is repeated over several weeks, the putrid odor gradually decreases, and after 3-4 months, the secondary maturation is complete, with the compost-impregnated solution becoming odorless and tasteless. Once the secondary maturation is complete and the odorless compost solution has reduced its solid weight to less than 1 / 20 of what it was before, and has become a tasteless, odorless, transparent, yellowish-brown liquid.

[0019] As shown in Figure 2, the aeration device has a pipe for taking in compressed air attached to a mounting part 22 near a handle 21, and the compressed air is discharged from multiple holes in a tip 23. This aeration device is placed in an aeration tank to aerate compost impregnated with fresh water. Instead of this aeration device, a pipe with holes can be installed at the bottom of the aeration tank to discharge compressed air.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3, the agitator is an electric tool 31 with a screw 32 attached thereto, which agitates the entire compost-impregnated aqueous solution impregnated with fresh water.

[0021] <inspection> During the secondary maturation process, after maximum decay, the compost solution becomes tasteless, odorless, and completely ripe, with no harsh, bitter, or astringent taste. A general bacteriological test proves that the compost solution is bacteria-free and negative. The test was conducted by the Microbiology Research Division of the Tama Research Institute of the Japan Food Research Laboratories, and detected non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli and actinomycetes. However, it was determined that these bacterial groups are not considered food poisoning or heat-resistant bacteria. Furthermore, aerobic spore-forming bacteria were detected, and the cereulide synthase gene was checked, which was confirmed to be negative.

[0022] After the secondary maturation is complete and the humic acid containing fulvic acid stabilizes, the solution is left at room temperature for approximately 3-4 months in the summer and 6-7 months in the winter, during which time the solids will settle and the supernatant will become a clear, yellowish-brown liquid. The clear layer is first separated and the remaining translucent liquid and solids are filtered, after which the clear liquid is separated to obtain an aqueous solution of organic acids. At this stage, the aqueous solution of organic acids is stable, containing a stable, concentrated fulvic acid and other complex organic acid-containing components, including humic acid, humin, etc.

[0023] Figure 1 shows the results of qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of fulvic acid in a compost-derived aqueous solution, conducted by Toray Techno Co., Ltd. According to these results, the excitation wavelength (Ex) on the vertical axis of the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum shown in Figure 3 was measured between 200 and 500 nm, and the fluorescence wavelength was measured between 210 and 550 nm. The obtained three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum showed that the sample on the left had similar fluorescence characteristics and a stronger spectrum than the fulvic acid standard substance on the right, suggesting a high concentration of fulvic acid.

[0024] Simply fill a 2-30ml push-type spray bottle with this solution, and while lying on your back, spray two to three times directly into each nostril, then three to four times into the mouth, as appropriate. This three-part spray neutralizes harmful bacteria that enter through the nose and throat, and begins to have an effect on diseases that may occur.

[0025] The three-part spray sterilizes and improves the health of all connected organs, including the nose, throat, sinuses, mouth, esophagus, and trachea. By spraying the three parts after brushing your teeth before bed, the following morning, the odor of the trachea, stickiness, and bad breath are greatly reduced. Furthermore, the odor of stool is significantly reduced, and the smell of regular farts is reduced to about one-tenth of what it usually is. Bowel movements are smooth and comfortable, with no retention at all, and you can pass stool comfortably without straining.

[0026] The recommended daily dose is 5-8ml. While this daily consumption may seem small, it maximizes the effect. Over the past six years, I have taken 100ml a day in the morning, but it is now clear that this is pointless. I once found that taking large amounts was pointless. The dosage is to spray the 3-point spray into the nose and throat when eating and drinking, at night, and just before going to bed. Immediately after waking up, gargle well, blow out any remaining mucus in your nose and throat, and then start the 3-point spray. If there is still nasal discharge, clean it again and respray. The best effect is to spray three times throughout the day, starting from when you wake up, after meals, after tea time, etc., whenever you notice it.The recommended daily intake is 5 to 8 ml; no more than that is necessary.

[0027] Three-point spray into the mouth, nose and throat will eventually eliminate bacterial inflammation, including rhinitis, stomatitis, dental caries, gingivitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, esophagitis, gastritis and Helicobacter pylori in the stomach.

[0028] In the agricultural and forestry sectors, organic acid solutions are used to significantly improve the efficiency of nutrient absorption in the soil and stimulate photosynthesis.

[0029] In the present invention, clean water is used in the secondary aging treatment. When using tap water, it is recommended to use room temperature water in which the clusters of water molecules have been minimized using a terahertz water purifier.

[0030] The aqueous solution of complex organic acids derived from humic substances containing fulvic acid of the present invention does not require any heat treatment other than natural fermentation heat during the primary and secondary ripening processes, and once fully ripened by secondary ripening, it becomes sterile and odorless, so it can be used as a product as is. [Industrial Applicability]

[0031] According to the present invention, by using pruned branches and leaves of naturally growing trees, the fulvic acid concentration of the humic substance-derived complex organic acid aqueous solution can be ensured, making it easy to drink and providing sufficient benefits when consumed, and a method for producing the same can be provided.

[0032] As described above, a completely new biochemical mass production method for an aqueous solution of humic acid-based complex organic acids, mainly consisting of fulvic acid, has been provided using uniquely selected materials and a production method, and an inexpensive aqueous solution of complex organic acids can be provided.

[0033] This manufacturing method makes it possible to sterilize the product, that is, it is an invention of a new, unprecedented biochemical method that completely eliminates all common bacteria and viruses in the surrounding area, making it possible to sterilize the product and eliminate viruses.

[0034] The humus that covers the entire surface of the Earth and the oceans that are more than twice as large has an eternal power of purification. However, in recent years, problems unique to the global environment, such as desertification due to the deterioration of the global environment and chemical pollution caused by humans, are destroying the rich forests and oceans.

[0035] Over hundreds of millions of years, plants and animals on Earth die, and dead leaves, dead trees, the carcasses of animals large and small, and their excrement are buried and become humus. Hundreds of thousands of people and animals die at once and are buried in the topsoil, and after a few years, the smell of death and decay disappears as if by magic. The unpleasant odor disappears, and all nasty bacteria and viruses are purified and sterilized, returning to the smell of healthy soil. This is the incredible power of humus soil, which contains humic acid.
