MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF SUN CHLORELLA

Chlorella propagated in slant cultures is transferred to flask, which are placed under artificial light and supplied with air containing carbon dioxide. The chlorella cells divide while undergoing photosynthesis. Each time the chlorella in the liquid culture medium rises to certain concentration, it is transferred to successively larger flasks where culturing continous. Chlorella grown indoors is moved outdoors, where it is allowed to culture in the natural environment. The chlorella continues propagating under the sun light in circular concrete pools with agitators. As the cocentration rises, the chlorella is moved to successively large pools. When seed cultures are ready, the chlorella is transferred to main culture pools which are 36 meters in diameter. Culturing in these pools is carried out by carefully controling the feed amount of culture medium containing the nutrient for chlorella cells in accordance with weather conditions. Water used in the culture pools is groundwater that originates in mountains over 3000 meters high. The water is free of contaminants and has low hardness. Chlorella grown in the main culture pools is harvested after attaining the prescribed concentration. Once of the foreign matters that have entered the pools during culturing is filtered out, the steps of dehydrating by centrifugal separators and washing are repeated. The chlorella is then filtered for the last time and verified its purity. It is finally ready to be concentrated. The cell wall pulverization manufacturing method developed by Sun Chlorella. Sun chlorella is processed through the unique heat-free Dyno-Mill process to break the though cell wall fibre and release the beneficial cell nucleus with all its food nutrients. This exclusive technology preserves the nutrients in chlorella while breaking up the highly indigestible chlorella cell wall without the use of heat and chemicals. Chlorella contains an enzyme called chlorophyllase that produces pheophorbide, a substance which causes photohypersensitivity. This process deactivates chlorophyllase and sterilizes the chlorella by mixing steam into the chlorella concentrate to accomplish a quick high-temperature treatment.
In general, the spray drying method is the widely used to dry chlorella. Raw chlorella easily decomposes, but can be stabilized when dried, allowing it to be preserved for a long time. In this method the concentrated chlorella solution is sprayed into a hot air steam, forming small droplets that dry instanly. The result is dried chlorella in powder form, having the appearance of vivid green seaweed or powdered green tea. Powdered chlorella is very stable and if preserved under suitable conditions will suffer a relatively minimum decline in quality even after several years.

CHLORELLA

Chlorella is a species of green algae that grows in fresh water. Chlorella belongs to the eucaryotic cell category of algae as a single cell plant. Its size is about that of a human erythrocyte between 2 – 8 micros in diameter. This life form emerged over 540 million years ago and was the first form of plant with a well-defined nucleus. There are fossils from the pre-Cambrian period that clearly indicate the presence of chlorella. Deriving its name from the Greek, chloross meaning green and ella meaning small.
Chlorella is one of the highest natural sources of chlorophyll cotaining 20 times the chlorophyll of alfalfa nearly 10 times that of spirullina, 8 times that of wheat grass and 10 times that of barley grass. Chlorella is a fast growing plant with rapid cell growth. It reproduces it self from a single cell into four new cells every 20 -24 hours.
Sun chlorella is common name for Chlorella pyrenoidosa – a nutritionally superior species of chlorella and is a natural whole food supplement derived from freshwater single-celled green algae, super-concentrated with key vitamins and antioxidants including : vitamin C, beta –carotene, chlorophyll, lutein, thiamine, riboflavine, pyridoxine, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, choline, vitamin K, lipoic acid and inositol. Certain minerals including : phosphorous, calcium, zinc, iodine, magnesium, iron and copper. Sun chlorella is rich in nucleic acid, dietary fiber, omega fatty acids, amino acids and Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). Since additives are almost impossible to avoid in today’s food supply, it is important to take Sun Chlorella.
Sun Chlorella Wakasa is the only product available on the market that has the concentrated power of CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor). Derived from the nucleus of the chlorella plant, CGF is a nucleotide – peptide complex rich in naturally-occurring polysaccharides and nucleic acids. The extensive studies with CGF have shown that it has an amazing ability to stimulate faster, healthier cell growth in young children. For adults as a result of efficient cell renewal, the body can maintain its peak level of mental and physical performance.
The body can enjoy faster recovery from stress and strenuous activities, reduced signs of visible aging, healthier skin and the feeling of renewed energy. CGF can also strengthen the natural defenses by stimulating the production of white blood cell which supports the body’s natural defense system to fight against illnesses.
