The starting point of CAS (Cells Alive System)
The clue to development was the phenomenon of freezing rain
Thirty-five years ago, I had an opportunity to talk with an American pilot from
whom I heard about the phenomenon of freezing rain. It is when rain freezes as it hits
an object during the cold months. It was then that I realized that nature has energies
that have not yet been explained and that those energies cause a wide variety of
phenomena. I wondered if I could make this phenomenon artificially. I visited university
professors at their research facilities to ask if they could help me with the development
of energies on the earth. Some professors would not listen to my proposal of joint
research, because those areas were quite new to them.
As there was not any reference book or literature, I had made a lot of equipment
Norio Owada,
President
without success and I was just about to give up development, an idea suddenly came
ABI Co., Ltd.
to me. It was that the freezing rain phenomenon might have to do with the
magnetic energy from the earth.
The initial step of development, was a dielectric freezer that uses weak energy in order
to freeze fresh cream. The dielectric freezing method achieved excellent results for freezing cakes. However, it could
not achieve the results that satisfied those involved in the agricultural,fishery, dairy, livestock and food processing
industries, because it was only an extension of quick freezing. I was eager to develop technology with producers
from both the primary industries and food processors whom were satisfied, and repeated the process of trial and

error. Working in cooperation with doctors from the medical field, I was able to successfully develop CAS which
is entirely different from the quick freezing technology.

Using medical technology, bring food back to its original freshness
ABI Co., Ltd. is trying to "develop technology that returns food to its original freshness to an extreme limit."
In an effort to develop technology of this kind, we are making the following proposals to those people who belong
to the primary industry of agriculture, fishing, diary, livestock and processed food among the food industry:
Following the basic principle of ABI let us return food to its original freshness. And "Let us return processed food
to fresh food that has been just made." Cooking professionals are saying, "CAS frozen foods are fresh" as soon as they
cut it with a knife. Our producers are pleased to say that they can deliver, not only seasonal food goods, but the "taste
of food just prepared" to customers with confidence.
We would like to explain the difference between a quick freezing machine that aims to improve the quality of frozen
food and CAS whose aim is to "return food to its original state and freshness." ABI Co., Ltd is challenging and will
challenge "freshness" without end.

Version-up of tastes − we will equip your freezer with CAS-2.
A quick freezing machine freezes water molecules in food within 30 minutes.
We have conducted tests at our research center on professional Japanese dishes, French dishes and Chinese
dishes. We came to realize that it is important to keep the core temperature of food materials between -10℃ and
-30℃, depending on the food material.
ABI Co., Ltd. is successful in developing a system that can upgrade the taste by equipping the CAS system to quick
freezing machines (such as rack type, tunnel, spiral and alcohol freezing,and brine freezing) with producers from
not only Japan but also other countries. We have started to market the system under the brand name of CAS-2.

Why does the primary industry and food processing makers adopt the CAS function?
The reason for an attaching the CAS function to the existing rapid freeze machine is that improving a taste
without using an additives, and because it wants to offer quality pleased with by a consumer.
Many people such as ambassadors and staff members of governmental agencies from Ireland,England, Mexico,

ABI/メニュー編/表1,4/01-16 07.5.15 11:14 AM ページ2

Canada, Spain, Middle East countries and China, as well as Japanese governmental agencies and opposition parties
come to our research facility to make effective use of the world's resources. We would like Japanese producers to
realize countries around the world have started to seek high quality and good tasting food goods. The Japanese
standard of food has always been "standard of good taste, safety, security and health." I am now aware that the fact
that producers of the world have chosen the CAS functions to produce higher quality of products shows that the
Japanese brand is now the world standard.

New function
It works as hybrid of rapid freeze machine and suppress consumption of electric energy, and it is the newly
developed for a purpose whether you bring quality close to it fresh state.

System to share technology with customers in order to stress quality
When ABI Co., Ltd. delivers a CAS System to the primary industry and food makers of other countries as well as
Japan, the company provides the customers with services of the system.Using the internet communication, the ABI
Center always monitors how the CAS system functions of customers are using. Monitoring includes functions,
temperature and usage methods of the CAS functions at the site in order to stress freshness. As soon as there
arises some irregular function from the system and inconvenience occurs, the center will advise the customers on
how to correct them via e-mail. The use of a fish-eye lens camera enables the center to always communicate with
the customer. Also to provide them with advice on processing technology while monitoring the usage conditions
of the CAS function.

Principle of CAS
CAS is an abbreviation for "Cells Alive System." CAS is a function that reproduces fresh and good tasting food and
food materials. Magnetic-field-energy-generating equipment developed by ABI generates weak energy evenly in
the quick freezing equipment, by doing so it enables CAS energy to produce good tasting food that may be kept,
and then freezes the food. The pictures taken by an electronic microscope shows a clear difference in the tissues.

The key to good taste is the principle of CAS, by preserving the original taste of food and food materials flavor,
fantastic appeal and eating enjoyment without any drips occuring from the food itself.

Countries of the world are now paying attention
While people are afraid that food resources of the world are running short,
the minister and the chief of Food Ministry of Ireland came to Japan and concluded a
technical support agreement between ABI Co., Ltd. and the government of Ireland
to provide their nation with fresh tasting seasonal foods.
While people are afraid that food resources of the world are running short, the minister and the chief of Food Ministry
of Ireland came to Japan and concluded a technical support agreement between ABI Co., Ltd. and the government
of Ireland to provide their nation with fresh tasting seasonal foods. Not only in Japan, but also in the whole world's
food supply conditions are growing tight. Under such situations, many countries have started to introduce the CAS
system. With the minister and the chief of the ministry of Ireland attending the ceremony for the technical-tie-up
agreement between ABI Co., Ltd. and both governments of Ireland and Britain, we can see that they realize the
important the potentiality of CAS. In addition, Japanese governmental agencies as well as agriculture- and marine
product-related governmental agencies of the world often visit our research center to negotiate technical tie-up
agreements. I myself (Norio Owada) am also invited by governmental agencies from Asian countries to give them
technical guidance and advice. Judging from the above examples, we can see that the desire and scope for the use
of CAS have been expanding worldwide.
To the world of medicine, to the world of science and to "application to the world of food" at which we are aiming.

Energy around us
I am impressed with CAS, a new revolutionary technology which artificially
reproduces energy within the equipment by paying attention to the weak magnetic
energy from nature.
Encounter with Mr.Owada

Professor

Toshinori Maihara,
Doctor of Science,
Department of Astronomy,
Kyoto University

It was seven years ago that I began developing a new observational equipment to be
installed to the Subaru Telescope at NAOJ Hawaii Observatory that I first met Mr.
Owada, president of ABI Co., Ltd. In order to remove thermal noises, the new-type
spectroscope equipment needed to be stored in a large refrigerator with a capacity of
about 4.86m2 on the condition that it would always be used under -50℃ and in a low
temperature environment. I visited Mr. Owada at his office and asked him to cooperate
with my project though my project might not be helpful for the food industry. Without
thinking of any profit from business, he was kind enough to cope with my project from
operational tests from the new-type spectroscope system to installation of the equipment
to the Hawaii Observatory at the Mauna Kea summit. Finally, we were successful in
operating the system at the dome of the Subaru Telescope.

CAS and application of nature's energy phenomenon

While I was testing this research and development project under the cooperation of ABI Co., Ltd. and discussing
it with him, I was surprised and impressed to see that this company had been developing CAS functions for the last
35 years. It has recognized the energy phenomena of nature, and has established a revolutionary technology to
preserve food materials that keeps to original taste and flavour of food in the food industry. Achieving good results
in the research of keeping biomedical tissues in the medical field, while also still continuing new technological
development in this field, CAS is applying the technology to other fields other than these fields. Many people
hesitate to start development in using energy phenomena from nature because it is difficult to theorize it. Mr. Owada,
however, has made full use of his own imagination and creativity, preceded experimental verification and achieved
good results by piling up proven results. Without the "Owada" type of idea and ability to get things done, the CAS
system would not have been invented.
As an expert of astrophysics and from the viewpoint that I am involved in nature's energy phenomena of the earth,

from time to time I talk with Mr. Owada about important roles and effects of our solar energy and magnetic field.
There is an opinion that migrating birds know the direction by the position of the sun and the stars but it is
generally proved that they fly several thousands of kilometers without making any mistake while feeling
magnetic fields from the earth. Therefore, if it were not for magnetic fields from the earth, migrating birds could
not fly nor carrier pigeons return to their nest nor fish migrate.
Thanks to the boon of solar energy, on the other hand, plants
produce carbohydrates and glucoses of high-energy substances
from carbon dioxide in the air through the photosynthesis
process. Thus, magnetic fields of the earth and solar energy play
important roles in order for man to survive. From these viewpoints, I expect that, while ABI Co., Ltd. is attaching importance
to the CAS functions as a new idea that reproduces and uses
nature's energy phenomena that they have developed, the company will further develop the technology to apply not only to the
food and medical care fields but also to other engineering fields
by making full use of the "Owada way" in developing the idea.

Experimental proof in the medical field
CAS has begun to contribute to the fields of medical care, organ preservation and cell
tissue reproduction.
Encounter with Mr. Owada
When I paid attention to the CAS functions of ABI Co., Ltd., I had been encountering
a tall wall because I had tested a variety of methods on freezing, preservation,
reproduction and implantation of periodontal membrane, but I could not get any
satisfactory result. On that occasion, a professor who was involved in research for
cardiac transplantation at a university introduced me to Mr. Owada, president of ABI
Co., Ltd., who had developed the CAS functions, one of the technologies to preserve

tissues.

Application of CAS to the medical field and realization of freezing, long
preservation, reproduction and implantation of teeth

As periodontal membrane frozen by a program freezer with the CAS functions can preserve stable cells without giving any damage, it has enabled us to freeze, preserve long,
reproduce and implant teeth for the first time. It is considered that CAS technology may
generate the following phenomena by further accurate control in such technical fields
as freezing, preservation, reproduction and implantation of biological cell tissues, and
preservation by super-cooling and implantation of organ in the bio and medical world.

Good tastes of CAS food materials
fish and shellfish
Fishery operators can provide consumers and restaurants with seasonal raw fish,
grilled fish and cooked fish by processing as soon as they are caught.
Compared with traditional frozen fish and shellfish, ours are "this is fresh", says
a chef of Japanese dishes.
This is a new system that replaces an old chilled system.

The season of a rock oyster is short. CAS can send the
seasonal taste of a rock oyster to consumers at any time of the
year.

We can send the good and seasonal taste of red sea bream

to customers any time of the year in the form of raw.

The people of the world can enjoy, fresh cuttlefish which
tastes as if it has just been caught.

This mackerel pike has been stored for one year in a harmonic
vibrating freezing store after freezing with CAS. You can still
eat it in the form of raw fish (sashimi).

The color returns to this transparency after defrosting.

This is the internal organ of a mackerel pike that has been

Good tastes of CAS food materials livestock
An American large stock producer says, "ABI's CAS functions for livestock do not
allow fat to get oxidized after defrosting, and generates good color of meat after
defrosting. So it is still 'fresh' even after defrosting."
The CAS for livestock is introduced to producers of livestock worldwide.

The portion of this bone usually becomes black due to contamination. Meat stored for four years is not contaminated. It
can be used and delivered for steak after defrosting. And
delivered to consumers after processing it with CAS.

This 2 year old preserved pork cutlet is almost the same
quality as fresh pork, you can sell it coated with breadcrumbs
or after frying.
Notice how the batter is firmly attached.

In an experiment by a large meatpacking company, the meat
was preserved for four years and defrosted. Notice frash color
of the meat, remains tasty and very juicy.

Have a look. This is giblets of a chicken. The picture below
is the frozen by CAS and the above is the defrosted. The
delicious tasting chicken that can be deliver for grilling, raw
meat(sashimi) and smoky meat to customers any time.

Ham makers usually slice meat at midnight and deliver to
each super market. CAS does not allow meat to oxidize or to
produce any drips after defrosting, therefor ham makers able
to process meat during business hours.

From ordinary frozen hamburg to butcher's hand made hamburg. Getting an idea from this hamburg, you can create a new
business of process food such as a cooked dish and grilled
dish.
