CURATIVE-PROPHYLAXIS ANTIANEMIC AND IMMUNE-CORRECTING YEAST PREPARATION Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, biotechnology. SUBSTANCE: preparation is obtained by liquid-phase culturing yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, enrichment yeast cells with iron and the following separation of biomass from nutrient medium. Preparation has 1-1.5% iron (as measured of dry matter content) and shows capability to normalize the level of serum blood iron and improve immune status of organism. Yeast cells are enriched with iron by addition of Mohr's salt (concentration is 1-2 mM) to nutrient medium at concentration of Mg (II) in medium 0.5-0.8 mM. To prevent pollution of biomass with substances of oxidation and hydrolysis of ions Fe (II) food gelatin at concentration 0.1-0.2% is added as a colloid stabilizing agent. Proposed preparation is an effective source of iron. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of preparation, absence of adverse effects. 11 cl, 3 ex, 1 tbl
