Zero Order Biotic Activity:
Nonliving products, products exhibiting passive behavior.
1st Order Biotic Activity:
Living organisms with fully maintained intrinsic metabolism, in which anabolic metabolic processes predominate, e.g. livestock (domestic and zoo animals) and poultry. Anabolic and catabolic metabolic processes must be kept at least in equilibrium by appropriate feeding and care.
2nd Order Biotic Activity:
Living organs, such as fruit (bananas, citrus fruits, pomaceous fruit), vegetables (tomatoes, sweet peppers, potatoes, onions), grains, legumes, oil-bearing seeds/fruits, in which respiration process (= external respiration) predominate, because their supply of new nutrients has been cut off by separation from the parent plant. Very high enzymatic activity once the item is exposed to the environment. Delicate balance must be maintained or entropy will proceed rapidly.
3rd Order Biotic Activity:
Goods in which respiration processes (external respiration) are suspended, but in which biochemical, microbial and other decomposition processes still proceed, such as meat, fish, processed grain products, dried fruits, spices, cocoa and coffee beans, tea, tobacco, expellers, fish meal. Such goods are not provided with hermetically sealed packaging. Enzymatic activity is in a state of suspension until the right humidity, temperature and duration of exposure is presented to the item in question.
4th Order Biotic Activity:
Goods in which biochemical and microbial processes have stopped and which are isolated from the external environment, e.g. sterilized and pasteurized goods in hermetically sealed packaging (preserved foods, beverages). Heat or radiation has neutralized all enzymatic activity. No chance of any enzymatic activity being reinstated.
Biotic Activity of the Ama-amA Products:
The packaged Ama-amA raw nutrition bars are in the 2nd and 3rd order of Biotic Activity. The raw grains and soy products remain at the 2nd level of Biotic Activity, while the dried fruits and processed grain products are in the 3rd order of Biotic Activity. The elimination of moisture in the Dry Ama-amA mixes allow the Biotic Activity to be in a position that will allow long term storage while not altering the viability of the enzymatic activity.
