Production of Novum
The production of Novum requires careful attention, as various components, especially the enzymes, are prone to degradation at higher temperatures. Therefore, while mixing the ingredients, the temperature should not exceed ambient levels.
To mix the 10 ingredients, a Nutribullet is used. This device is not only easy to operate, but it also minimizes ingredient loss. Additionally, the Nutribullet cup is made of plastic, which makes it easy to monitor the mixing process. The process can be observed by blending one orange-colored compound with the other nine white ingredients.

After filling the Nutribullet cup with the ingredients (a total of 128 grams), the mixture is first blended slowly in the tumbler at 1–2 revolutions per second. The cup is then placed in the refrigerator for cooling. Afterward, the mixture is blended quickly in the Nutribullet and then mixed again in the tumbler.
Finally, the powder is portioned into small bottles, each containing 3 grams of Novum powder. The bottles are then placed in a cryogenic box and stored at -20°C
A new version (version 2) of the tumbler was developed which can easily be put in a refrigerator. See on the left part of the video.
Version 3 of the tumbler is the final prototype, featuring two Nutribullet cups. It can be easily installed in a refrigerator as it operates on battery power.
