About the science

Several years ago, Stephen Gorton, chief scientist for nzymSys, Inc., developed the concept of making environmentally sound cleaning, odor abatement, mold/bacteria control, and agricultural products using the same sophisticated scientific methods that are used in creating vaccines. Begin by extracting specific enzymes from selected microorganisms, devise a method to preserve them effectively, and then combine the preserved enzymes with other natural ingredients to make very safe and effective formulas to accomplish the desired objectives.

Gorton created a method for germ and mold control that uses the bacteria and mold's own regulation systems to break down organism populations, thus reducing the incidence of infection or spoilage caused by microorganisms. Gorton credits his research at Iowa State University in plant science and food/environmental safety as the catalyst for this new technology.

How it works:

In this patent-pending invention, the first step is to select very specific microorganisms. Through a proprietary process, the enzymes, important protein catalysts that effect cell growth, are harvested. Next, those specific enzymes are concentrated into solutions that break down unwanted colonies of the same organism when introduced into a target environment.

This concept has proven successful in a number of products designed for mold and bacteria applications, various cleaning markets, malodor elimination, and hydrogen sulfide emissions reduction.
