  • FREEZE PRESERVATION OF LIVING CELLS
    Publication number: 20160106091
    Abstract: A method is for the cryopreservation of a (plant) cell, (plant) organelle or (plant) tissue, where the (plant) cell, (plant) organelle or (plant) tissue is encapsulated in a matrix formed of an abiotic material in presence of one or more additives with cryoprotectant effect. The method provides a faster, more effective and cheaper way to cryopreserve biological material.

  • Composition comprising oligogalacturonans and polycationic saccharides
    Patent number: 8916182
    Abstract: A ‘bioactive’ composition that has one or more oligogalacturonans ((1?4)-?-D-galacturonan) or any other oligosaccharides (oligoguluronans) that may present an ‘egg box’ conformation, this conformation being further stabilized by one or more polycationic saccharide(s), preferably either a chitosan oligosaccharide or a chitosan polysaccharide. A method prepares this composition and it is used, in medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, nutraceutical, food, feed, textile, cosmetic, industrial and/or environmental applications.
