Plasma expander, blood diluent and cryoprotector produced using amylopectin-rich potato starch

摘要

Amylopectin-rich potato starch (ARPS) derived from potatoes which inhibit amylose formation is used for the production of plasma expanders, blood diluents and cryoprotectors. The potatoes which inhibit amylose formation are produced by cultivation or by a genetic or analogous biotechnological procedure. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) plasma expanders, blood diluents and cryoprotectors based on an ARPS, and (B) the preparation of a hydroxyethylstarch (HES) from an ARPS.
