Scientific tests
Our violet-glass has a zero transmittance for the invisible UVC and UVB radiation (No invisible UVC and UVB radiation penetrate VioLiv violet-glass). A certain amount of the invisible UVA and the visible violet radiation trespass the VioLiv-Glass with a maximum at 390nm. Our violet glass is not permeable to the visible light spectrum from blue to red.
Stops Light Degradation
Chive Storage Test
As a storage container, glass still maintains its important position, despite its fragility. Traditional glass colors (clear and amber) allow light of the visible spectrum to pass through and therefore don't offer enough protection against decomposition. Dr. Hugo Niggli and Dr. Max Bracher confirmed this scientifically by performing an experimental test on storage stability of various herbs and spices.
Chives @ 15 Months
Intensity of chives tested by odor
As the analysis of biophotons is unique for an integral and objective evaluation of herbal preparations, ultra-weak photon experiments were made in order to determine the quality level of stability in different herbs and spices. The results of the biophotonic analysis for chives are graphed below: The level of bio-energy (vital force) is significantly higher in the samples stored in violet glass compared to those stored in traditional, clear and amber glass.
Odor Intensity Chives @ 15 Months
Chives tested by biophotonic analysis
It has to be noted that this observation was found in the samples stored in the room, as well as in those stored in sun-exposed areas. The conclusion made above with chives was confirmed by similar findings after analyses of photographs, odors and biophotons of four additional spices (parsley, dill, paprika and laurel). The results of biophotonic measurements of food stored over a period of 15 months, show that it is very probable that the following statement can be confirmed in case of long-term storage of these investigated products: The significant differences which occurred in the products stored in different colored glass and exposed to the sun will, long term, also occur in the products stored in various colored glass in the room.
Biophotonic Analysis
Cherry Tomato Storage Test
A microbiological experiment with cherry tomatoes was done to confirm, more simply, that violet glass better protects the bio-energy of food. As had become clear in the previous study where the herbal samples had been exposed to the sun, the most significant differences were detected when the products were stored in clear glass versus violet glass. Therefore, Dr. Hugo Niggli bought cherry tomatoes and bottled them individually in a clear-glass and violetglass apothecary jar on the 22nd of June 2007. The tomatoes were then stored at room temperature in an apartment.
On the 22nd of December, exactly half a year later, a microbiological change judged as mold was observed in the cherry tomato stored in the clear glass bottle. A month later, on January 21st 2008, the result of this biological experiment was photographed. For this purpose, the cherry tomatoes were taken out of the bottles and the microbiological changes of the tomatoes stored in both bottles were photographed. The cherry tomato stored in violet glass retained its red color and had not dried out, contrary to the tomato stored in clear glass. These simple tests demonstrated clearly that:
Violetglass is the best glass for optimal protection of bio-energy over a long-term period!
