  • Novel physiological product extracted from algae and plants
    Patent number: 4897266
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new physiological product extracted from algae and plants (e.g. artichokes), the process and apparatus used in its preparation by a combination of cryocomminution and molecular milling followed by ultra-decantation and ultra-filtration to obtain a sterile microburst product are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 18, 1988
    Date of Patent: January 30, 1990
    Assignee: Laboratoires Goemar S.A.
    Inventors: Rene A. Herve, Serge Percehais
  • New drugs based on extracts of algae, and corresponding formulations
    Patent number: 4824673
    Abstract: New drugs consisting of protoexoplasma of red or brown algae.Said protoexoplasma is a product obtained by subjecting the algae to a special treatment including in particular a cryogrinding. The combination of this product with oligo-elements promotes the assimilation of the latter.

  • Method and apparatus for communiting marine algae and the resulting product
    Patent number: 4023734
    Abstract: A method of comminuting fresh algae which consists in carrying out a comminuting operation on said algae at a temperature lower than -20.degree.C. Preferably this temperature lies between the range -30.degree. to -100.degree. C. In carrying out the method it is advantageous for the fresh algae to be frozen at a temperature of less than -20.degree. C before being comminuted. In particular, after being broken down, the algae are comminuted by crushing into the form of a wet paste mix, the mean size of the particles in which is less than 10 micrometers.The invention also relates to apparatus for carrying out the comminuting operation which comprises a comminuting assembly and cooling means associated therewith to hold the operated temperature within said assembly at a level of -20.degree.C by means of a cooling agent. The invention furthermore extends to the algae product whenever produced by the method and apparatus aforementioned.
