Laser activation system for brewer’s yeast
Laser activation system provides to both a pronounced 3-4 times increasing in yeast biomass and functional activity, determined by increasing up to 1.5 times the release of metabolites – CO2 and ethyl alcohol. After incubation of yeast in the wort, an increase in the content of low-molecular proteins belonging to the HTS class (more than 16 times) was established. The analysis of the obtained results showed that the prophylactic reception of the product of laser activation of the yeast culture (7 days before the ionizing irradiation of the experimental animals) provides significant increasing in their survival rate to 93% (control group 53%). Prophylactic reception of the yeast culture after laser activation prevented the development of hypotrophy (body weight deficiency).
The target product obtained by laser activation of brewer’s yeast culture has a radioprotective and immuno-stimulating effect, is promising for use in the prevention of immuno-deficient conditions in persons exposed to adverse ionizing radiation (employees of nuclear power plants, persons living on radionuclide contaminated territories, personnel in contact with sources of ionizing radiation – radiologists, defectoscopists).
A new direction in the therapeutic and prophylactic use of the product of laser activation of brewer’s yeast culture can be the protection of the organism from damage by various biopathogens, for example, the influenza virus.
