The HUMICO BIOSMART miracle filter would only be a placebo?

The HUMICO BIOSMART miracle filter would only be a placebo.

Based on a mineral presented as unique, SORBITE, the HUMICO BIOSMART miracle filter is supposed to absorb the ethylene released by fruits, vegetables and cut flowers and to triple their lifespan:

http://www.la-seine-et-marne.com/report ... s-est.html

The mineral, extracted in a mine located in California, would have a unique atomic structure allowing it, extremely rare, to absorb the ethylene present in food cold rooms.

Tests carried out by the LGSA of NANCY directed by Stéphane DESORBY would confirm the fabulous capacity of the SORBITE to pump ethylene.

A questioning of the product on the internet, strongly contested by the French managers of the HUMICO FRANCE master-franchise, would only be a vast smear campaign.

In reality, the SORBITE scam has existed in the United States for more than thirty years, where various pharmacies have made exclusive distribution agreements with the owner of the famous “mine”.

Two American experts in the conservation of cut plants, tired of the noisy claims of this “wonderful miracle mineral”, tested SORBITE in 1995, distributed at the time by three separate American companies.

They compared the absorption power of ethylene by SORBITE to that of sand.

Their conclusions are unfortunately without appeal: "SORBITE DOES NOT ABSORB ETHYLENE AT ALL".

The graph below, taken from the analysis report carried out in the United States in 1995, shows that SORBITE (mineral A, B and C) does not absorb more ethylene than sand.

The SORBITE contained in the HUMICO BIOSMART filter would therefore only be a placebo without any commercial value and the claims of the company HUMICO FRANCE quite simply a deception.

Let us recall that the fact, by the use of a false quality, in this case the capacity of SORBITE to absorb ethylene, to deceive franchise candidates and customers, in order to get them to remit funds, is constitutive of the scam.

Fraud is punishable by five years' imprisonment and a fine of 375 euros (article 000-313 of the Penal Code)

The HUMICO filter: a new “CONSERVE 21” business?

C 21: the miracle molecule that smells of sulfur

The C 21 molecule was to revolutionize the food industry. But Denis Allet, promoter of this invention, is now in prison. Why ? Le Point's investigation strayed from the paths of science and unveiled a financial nebula reminiscent of the “sniffer planes” affair. "


They let me go. I got screwed. "From the bottom of his cell, in Fleury-Mérogis, Denis Allet, registration number 265804 T, presents himself as a victim. Yet he is at the center of one of the biggest scams of recent years. A case that some investigators, who try to unravel the threads, instinctively compare to that of the famous "sniffer planes" at the end of the 70s.

At the origin of this new incredible scam, which combines financial, industrial, political and "honorable correspondents", a mysterious molecule developed by a kind of Spanish professor Nimbus, Alfonso de Sande Moreno. This 44-year-old agricultural engineer claims to have invented a secret potion whose property is to multiply the shelf life of fresh food: meat, fish, herbs, but especially fruits and vegetables. Called Conserver 21, the product would keep kiwis for 210 days, tomatoes and bananas for 40 days, strawberries for 17 days, yellow pineapples for 30 days ... In short, the invention would be capable of revolutionizing the refrigeration industry, large-scale distribution, agri-food logistics in emerging countries. To destabilize a good part of the planetary economy.

This “miracle”, Denis Allet, 34, a young business adventurer, proposed to finance it and make it known to the whole world. In the space of a year, between June 1995 and June 1996, he even officially raised several tens of millions of francs from investors wishing to claim exclusivity of the product. The first to get involved are small French bosses. At three or four, they invest around twenty million francs.

The big cavalry did not take long to follow. First in the person of a mysterious American billionaire, Charles Stein. This former leader of Sara Lee, the number one American frozen food company (who also bought Dim in France), guarantees 30 billion francs in revenue in ten years on the markets of the United States and Canada. With his personal funds, Charles Stein set up the company Conserver of America in Florida. In his wake, he leads Dato Yap Yong Seong, managing director of Mycom Berhad, a major Malaysian holding company listed on the Kuala Lumpur stock exchange and which manages, in particular, the local police pension funds. Mycom Berhad guarantees access to the Asian market. To enter the club Conserver 21, the Malays put 40 million francs on the table. Negotiations are also beginning with some large industrialists, such as Whirlpool and Saupiquet.

A year and a few twists and turns later, the dream turns into a nightmare. The promised industrial production never went beyond the stage of experimental samples. Above all, on March 28, Denis Allet was arrested and then indicted by the Parisian judge Laurence Vichnievsky for "fraud, forgery and use of forgery, breach of trust". However, no complaint from cheated investors has been filed! It was Me Van de Velde, a Belgian legal representative responsible for managing the bankruptcy of Conserver Investment (CI), the Brussels-based holding company of Denis Allet, who raised the alert. And his denunciation was taken very seriously by the Belgian judge Jean-Paul Van Espen, well known in France for having embellished the boss of Schneider, Didier Pineau-Valencienne, in 1994, and who is investigating a case today. of bribes affecting the Dassault group.

After placing the financial director of Conserver, Jacqueline Pillon-Becis, in pretrial detention, Judge Van Espen called for Allet's arrest. Why such a deployment of force? "All the transfers of funds between the various bank accounts of Conserver have not yet been recorded with precision," explains Me Van de Velde. But it is impossible for a group with such minimal staff and without effective industrial activity to spend so quickly the hundreds of millions of francs that we know to have passed through in this affair. »Where was the money diverted and for what purpose? This is the question that French investigators are also asking themselves when seeking to pierce the curtain of Dutch, Anglo-Norman or Luxembourg front companies of the Allet nebula.

This track is all the more sensitive given that the Conserver group has long benefited from solid political support, particularly in the UDF movement. Starting with that of the deputy for Manche Yves Bonnet. Director of the DST at the beginning of the 80s, now converted into politics, Yves Bonnet not only supported - in vain - the Conserve project with the administration, but he also envisaged the establishment of a factory in his constituency. Symptomatic of the then unconditional support that the deputy Bonnet showed to Allet: his own brother, Pierre, occupied, last spring, the post of general manager of Conserver! "I was simply trapped," says Yves Bonnet today.

But, if his brother actually only stayed in office for four months, Allet's official flirtation with the center-right won't end there. In spring 1996, the signing of the memorandum of understanding with Malaysian investors will take place in the Senate, at the invitation of Michel Talgorn, secretary of the group of independent republicans. His son, Frédéric, was then commercial advisor to Denis Allet. At the Senate, Allet and his foreign partners will be received with great pomp, with a visit to the palace and lunch. Who manipulated whom? In recent days, Michel Talgorn was not reachable.

Some observers are tempted to see the key to the enigma in the links - much more discreet this time - that Allet also cultivated with the entourage of a prominent UDF leader, reputed to have financial interests in the Middle East. ... Le Point is in any case able to reveal that the activities of Conserve arouse many curiosities: from General Information to super-tax inspectors, via the secret services, everyone seems to have good reasons to s 'interested in it.

What was really going on behind the golden facade of Conserver? The Belgians seem convinced to have uncovered a network of money laundering. The funds available to Allet thus passed through a discreet bank account opened in Luxembourg by the Compagnie Financière Kléber-Etoile, a front company managed by a nominee. Allet became a director of this structure with share capital made up of bearer shares (therefore anonymous), just after it was incorporated in April 1996. According to our information, he was not the beneficiary. A montage which confirms the thesis according to which the adventurer was only a puppet operated by others. Drugs, arms trafficking, political funding? All the assumptions are current, even that of a war of the services of intelligence.

At first glance, the profile of Denis Allet pleads more simply for the high-flying scam. The man drove in full swing, drove in a Bentley, traveled in a Concorde. He was not unknown to the police. His first conviction was in 1981, and he spent at least one time in prison in 1994 for various scams and bantering. Allet was also banned from banking and subject to a management ban in France. With the help of a business lawyer with a dubious reputation - recently convicted of tax evasion - Allet has nevertheless managed to circumvent these legal obstacles. In any case, he was at a good school: his immediate entourage has names listed in organized crime, others are known to work in the "trade" of diamonds.

Another track, that of a war of influence of the secret services. Here again, several scenarios are put forward. A witness reports discussions between Charles Stein and the right hand of President Mobutu, a close friend of Gaddafi, aimed at discreetly renewing ties between the White House and Libya. French agents, them, evoke an operation to destabilize France in Africa. In support of such assertions, the fact that the teams of Conserver attempted to negotiate an exclusive port in Madagascar for the benefit of the United States.

Last July, Marshal Mobutu was even received with great fanfare on “Les Naïades”, Denis Allet's personal yacht, moored in the bay of Cannes (see photo page 88). That day, the negotiation had little to do with the innocent trade in the miracle molecule. Allet notably proposed to take back in hand the presidential guard of Mobutu, in full decay. Who gave him the idea to diversify into the security disorder business? Mystery. But this new project is not a boast. A new company, under English law, Dixon Security International, had been created for the occasion, headed by Gérald Le Pemp, a former gendarme of the GSPR (Security Group of the Presidency of the Republic). The Pemp is not on its first African mission. After having worked at the Elysee Palace during the first Mitterrand seven-year term, then served as bodyguard for various personalities, including Bernard Tapie, Le Pemp was at the time in charge of the presidency of the Republic of Madagascar. And was looking for investors to finance the training and supervision of a local Praetorian Guard.

From the outset, Dixon's activity on French soil has something to arouse the interest of special services in more than one way: the links that Denis Allet maintains with a Franco-Israeli intermediary, very established in parallel markets. weapons, worried. And Dixon - who has never officially filed his statutes in France - "works" on several projects in the zone of French influence in Africa and the Middle East (Zaire, Madagascar, Yemen ...). The company also aims to ensure the security of the Mediterranean Games, which will take place in Lebanon in 1998. And it does not skimp on the means to give pledges to the Lebanese authorities.

On site, the file is managed in close consultation with Marcel Laugel, a retired French ambassador, now based in Beirut. And the project has a technical advisor no less prestigious: the prefect Christian Prouteau. According to our information, the own passport of the former head of the Elysée anti-terrorism cell was seized during a search carried out by the financial brigade at Le Pemp's personal home.

None of these projects seem to have come to fruition. No doubt for lack of time. Because, in recent weeks, the boss of Conserver had worked hard. Just days before being arrested, Allet had organized the private visit to Paris of Didier Ratsiraka, the current president of Madagascar. Dixon had made available to the presidential staff three vehicles - including Allet's own armored Mercedes! - with driver. And accommodation at the Raphaël hotel was even “offered” by the Conserver group ... which ultimately forgot to foot the bill.

Why have the French intelligence services let it be so long? Had they in reality infiltrated Denis Allet's nebula to better control its activity? Important gray areas remain. Thus, at the end of 1995, we see a very curious character appear in the wake of Conserver. Jean-Michel Beaudoin, 35, presents himself as a "specialist in strategic relations in charge of contacts with various foreign governments between 1991 and 1995". Reserve officer, former advisor to the National Center for Independents (CNI), Beaudoin is also linked to Ahmed "Charly" Chaker, ex-president of the Association for the Development of Arab-French Relations (Adraf), just released from prison for a fraud case.

Of political notoriety, Charly Chaker was used for many years by the French counter-espionage in the Middle East. His networks, known to Beaudoin, follow the sensitive sectors of the arms trade in Algeria, Iraq, Zaire, Israel and South Africa. It is again Jean-Michel Beaudoin who will present Allet to Yves Bonnet, the former boss of the DST. Oddly enough, Beaudoin will leave the Conserver ship, along with part of the crew, just before it sinks. Strange clairvoyance ...

But the case does not end there. Because Professor Alfonso's molecule continues to emulate. At the start of the year, Beaudoin himself took over the reins of a new company called Atmos to operate an allegedly “improved” version of the patent. In fact, just enough time to take a tour of the track and be landed by his new shareholder, a certain Simon Timsit, who says he worked in the food industry, but is best known as the founder of a group specializing in commercial real estate in the south-east of France.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Charles Stein has also signed a new agreement with the Spanish inventor of Conserve 21. Not dismantled for a penny, he is even preparing his entry into the Nasdaq, the American stock market reserved for stocks at high increase. And aims, it seems, to become the Bill Gates of the food industry!

Dear fbostok,

everyone is welcome on econologie.com, but I find that your intervention (your first) is absolutely inappropriate, it looks like the mobilization of forum to make it a platform, whether your subject is founded or not.

I'm asking for a lockdown! : Evil:

+1 with elephant for the form! It's not very polite to start on a forum by such an accusation ...

On the other hand the background seems interesting although I do not know what we are talking about : Cheesy:

Is it a "new" type of tuperware or cellophane film?

I leave 24h to the author to explain himself on the pkoi of this subject, after we lock ...

http://www.humico.fr/

According to the site, it is a filter containing a mineral called "Sorbite" which would be one of the most ecological substances that "Mother Nature" has given.

This filter is installed in the cold rooms of traders.

It would allow:
reduced food risks
preservation of organoleptic qualities
better conservation of products
longer storage times
a significant reduction in food waste
reduced energy and logistics costs
etc ... to discover

Still according to the site, the most incredible thing is that all this would be true and more!

The site explains that a gas called "ethylene" is continuously released by fruits and vegetables and cut flowers stored in refrigerated spaces, thus accelerating senescence.

According to the site, the absorption of ethylene (up to 75%) by the sorbit can reduce biodegradation and extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables and cut flowers in the order of 50 to 150 %.

The water-laden air molecules circulating in refrigerated spaces would capture “airborne” particles such as odors, gases and bacteria. The air thus laden with humidity, bacteria, odors and gas passes through the filter.

The sorbite is also believed to have natural antibacterial properties. It would kill more than 85% of all bacteria, including the most pathogenic, contained in the air of cold rooms: Distributors claim that the sorbit "controls" bacteria contained in the air.

The sorbit is, according to the company that distributes it, a miracle mineral and the greatest revolution since electricity.

The sorbit would regulate the humidity level, would also absorb odors and allow energy savings.

The sorbit would also be regenerable and would slow down global warming.

According to the distributors, there is only one mine in the world or this mineral could be extracted, located in the Mojave Desert.

The composition of the sorbite would be secret, the slogan of the company being "the secret is in the mineral".

The sorbit has been distributed in the United States for thirty years and American scientists would have demonstrated in 1995 that none of these statements is true.

It is a shame to block an original subject, since it is a solution for cleaning up the air in refrigerators which would at the same time reduce food waste and save energy.

This product apparently created a controversy. Apparently the distributor says that a French laboratory, the LGSE, has carried out tests which prove that the product absorbs ethylene, and on the other hand, American researchers have demonstrated that it would be a placebo.

Before locking this subject, we would like to know who these American researchers are!

http://www.vn.refer.org/mp/ctu_fruits/4.htm

Basically, ethylene is both a gas (C2H4) and a growth hormone for cut plants.

If you put an apple next to a kiwi in a fridge, the apple gives off ethylene (production) and the kiwi begins to ripen in an accelerated way (sensitivity).

An ethylene absorber (gas) present in a fridge will therefore prolong the conservation of cut plants.

The HUMICO filter contains a natural absorbent (the sorbite) which would capture ethylene, in any case this is what was disputed in 1995 in the United States.

Ok for the details, by the way, it's funny that an alkene is a bio-catalyst, I take the important passages (for this subject) and that I understood from the link:

Among the biochemical changes undergone by the fruit, some are directly perceived by the consumer, such as the degradation of chlorophylls, during ripening which are resorbed and gradually reveal other pigments. The tomato synthesizes terpene compounds such as b-carotene, xanthophylls responsible for the yellow coloring, then accumulates lycopene (red pigment). Strawberries owe their color to anthocyanin pigments (phenolic compounds: cyanidol glucosides) which in acidic medium give red compounds. The color of the fruit comes from the pigments located in the cytoplasm or the vacuoles of the cells. There is also an increase in the sugar content occurs by degradation of starch under the action of amylase, a decrease in acidity (citric and malic acids) which are used in cellular combustion or transformed into sugars by decarboxylation, the synthesis of aromas due to an increasing activity of enzymes such as esterases capable of forming, as in the case of bananas, esters of isoamyl alcohol (isoamyl acetate), (figure 14 ) softening.

(...)
In some fruits, the ethylene hormone initiates and coordinates all of these changes.

Climacteric and non-climacteric fruits

In some fruits ripening is accompanied by an increase in respiration associated with a sudden stimulation of ethylene synthesis. These fruits are called climacteric. In other cases, on the contrary, the rate of respiration changes relatively little and even tends to decrease; ethylene synthesis remains low. These are non-climacteric fruits. Generally speaking, leafy vegetables, roots and tubers are of the non-climacteric type.

The climacteric fruits are characterized by an autonomy of maturation after harvest and an auto catalytic synthesis of ethylene; ethylene emitted by the fruit stimulates its own production (autocatalysis) (Figure 16). In addition, exogenous ethylene initiates all the processes involved in their maturation. This phenomenon has been demonstrated in the case of bananas using an ethylene analogue, propylene (C3H6).

Non-climacteric fruits, on the other hand, can only evolve towards senescence; they do not present an autocatalytic synthesis of ethylene and the exogenous ethylene accelerates their senescence, by causing the degradation of chlorophylls (degreening) and membrane systems, and does not stimulate the production of endogenous ethylene (absence of autocatalysis) (figure 17). They do not have autonomy of maturation and must therefore ripen on the tree. The criteria for harvesting these fruits are similar to the criteria of taste quality.


Ay, I more or less understood ...

Uh, is there a list of non-climacteric fruits? They must be quite rare with us because of the trading system, right?

Main climacteric fruits:
Apricot
Avocado
banana
Cherimoya
Guava
Kiwi
Mango
melons
Nectarine
Papaya
Apple
Fishing
Pear
Plums
Tomato

So it has nothing to do with the commercial system, ethylene in fruit and vegetable refrigerators is a real problem with us.
