EM-1 ingredients (U.S. version, May 2010)
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Microorganisms: 1 million colony forming units/cc (units/ml), 1%: Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rhodopseudomonas palustris.
INACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
96% Water and 3% Molasses
The key to EM-1 is the combination of 3 groups of microorganisms: lactic acid bacteria (found in pickled foods, yogurt, cheese, etc.), yeast (same as bakers' yeast and brewers' yeast), and phototrophic bacteria (found in soil, waste, worm castings, etc.) Together, they work differently than on their own.
| Lactic Acid Bacteria |
| L. plantarum |
in saliva (first isolated); liquefies gelatin
[foods found in: sauerkraut, pickles, brined olives, kimchi, Nigerian ogi, sourdough, cheeses, fermented sausages, stockfish] |
| L. casei |
in human intestine and mouth; known to improve digestion and reduce lactose deficiency and constipation ; complements growth of L. acidophilus
[foods found in: cheddar cheese, green olives] |
| L. fermentum |
[foods found in: sourdough] |
| L. delbrueckii |
[foods found in: yogurt, mozzarella cheese, pizza cheese, Hartkäse, Berg-Alpkäse, Bleu de Bresse, Bleu de Gex, Fourme d'Ambert] |
|
|
| Bacillus subtilis |
commonly found in soil; can survive extreme heat; natural fungicidal activity; used in alternative medicine; can convert explosives into harmless compounds; used in safe radionuclide waste; produces amylase enzyme (present in saliva; breaks down starch into sugar)
[foods found in: Japanese natto (fermented soy beans), Korean cheonggukjang (fermented soybean paste)] |
|
|
| Yeast |
|
| S. cerevisiae |
brewing and baking, top-fermenting yeast (ale)
[foods found in: baked breads, coffeecakes, pastries, croissants]
[beverages found in: beer, wine, mead, cider, vinegar] |
|
|
| Phototrophic Bacteria |
| R. palustris |
naturally found in soil and water, a food source for small organisms (zooplanktons, small crustacea); a natural detoxifier; degrades odors in agricultural and industrial waste; stimulates growth of actinomycetes (white 'mold') which suppresses the growth of pathogenic fungi, improves soil structure, humus formation, helps soil retain water, and breaks down tough plant materials; benefits growth of certain crops and fruits; also found in earthworm droppings, swine waste lagoons, marine coastal sediments, pond water. [foods found in: Swiss cheese] |
