On the basis of the developed physical and mathematical model of mass transfer, which takes into account the transmembrane transfer of non-electrolytes, basic ions and the associated changes in the transmembrane potential, the redistribution of osmotically active substances during equilibration of erythrocytes in cryoprotective solutions was investigated. Time parameters of changes in concentrations of osmotically active substances inside and outside cells, as well as transmembrane electric potential, were calculated. It is shown that during the exposure of human erythrocytes to 1M solutions of glycerol, 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), the sign of their transmembrane electric potential changes three times, and in solutions of ethylene glycol (EG) and of acetamide (AA) – once. The analysis of the obtained results showed that the most acceptable for further cryopreservation from the point of view of erythrocytes reaching a state close to equilibrium in a 1M solution of glycerol was their equilibration for 5.5 min, and in solutions of DMSO, AA, EG and 1,2-PD with the same concentration – 1 min. At the same time, the cells remain somewhat dehydrated (by 5.5–7.5%), and the concentrations of cryoprotectants inside erythrocytes change insignificantly during longer exposure. The indicated degree of dehydration does not affect cell viability, but reduces the likelihood of intracellular ice formation during subsequent freezing.

The protein-peptide composition of fetal tissues (FTCEs) and placenta (PCE) cryoextracts of rats was investigated by gel permeation chromatography. Cryoextracts were derived from tissue homogenates using the freeze-warming modes: 1 – single (–20°С); 2 – double (–20; –196°С) and 3 – triple (–20; –196; –196°С) ones. The biological activity of cryoextracts was in vitro evaluated by the phagocytic activity of neutrophil granulocytes (NG) of the blood of intact rats after incubation with an inactivated culture of Staphylococcus aureus (2 × 109 cells/ml) for 45 and 120 min for the concentrations of extracts in the incubation medium: 1.6; 3.1; 6 mg/ml in terms of dry substance. The use of mode 3 ensured a greater yield of total protein and low molecular weight compounds of a protein-peptide nature in the composition of cryoextracts. The content of low-molecular-weight fractions in FTCE exceeded that in PCE, regardless of the obtaining mode. Incubation of NG with cryoextracts did not significantly increase the number of neutrophils which entered into phagocytosis. However, all the samples of PCE and FTCE were characterized by a dose-dependent rise in the NG absorption activity during the 45-minute incubation compared to the control.

This paper presents the method of cryogenic extraction by means of liquefied freons. Using the equipment to extract lipid fractions from biological raw materials, a freon extract from bay leaves (Laurus nobilis) was experimentally obtained. A low-temperature extraction of lipid fractions from bay leaves was first realized using liquefied freons within the temperature range of –2...–8°С. The difference in composition of these fractions from that of the oils, obtained within the standard temperature ranges of 30...50°С was shown. Dependence of the finished product weight on extraction time as a result of three consecutive cycles of 23 hrs each was demonstrated. Using gas chromatography, 68 components of freon extract were identified, and their quantitative composition and dominant compounds were detected. The content of essential oils and aroma-forming substances, stipulating the number of odour units was specified. These findings may be the basis for novel technological approaches to separation of lipid fractions, isolated from biological raw materials of plant and animal origin. Here, we described the device version with a three-stage cryogenic system of freon solvent recovery for effective implementation of the designed technology. Key words: bay leaf, low-temperature technologies, liquefied freon R406A, extract, gas chromatography, number of odour units.

Development of protocols for cryopreservation of microalgae Chlorococcum dissectum Korshikov and Dunaliella salina Teodoresco requires selection of effective cryoprotectants and their concentrations. One of the stages of choosing the optimal concentrations of cryoprotectants is determining the degree of toxicity for cells at the equilibration stage. Solutions of dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol, ethanol, glycerol (5–30%) and modified PVS1 and PVS2 (50 and 75%) were used in the research. The effect of cryoprotective compounds was determined by the resazurin reduction test. The least damaging effect on the Ch. dissectum cells was made by a 10% solution of glycerol. Treatment of the samples with ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide solutions reduced metabolic activity by 31–33%, the ethylene glycol ones did by 50%. Incubation in 75% modified PVS1, 50 and 75% PVS2 solutions reduced the metabolic activity by more than half compared to the control. Ethanol was the most toxic cryoprotectant for D. salina cells. Exposure of cells to the solutions of dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol and glycerol reduced metabolic activity by 25%. Incubation of D. salina cells in PVS did not affect the studied index.

Lichens from the cold regions of Earth exhibit high, but different degree of tolerance to drought and freeze stresses. Therefore, three lichen species Xanthoria elegans, Umbilicaria cylindrica, Usnea sphacelata, and a representative of extremophilic cyanobacteria Nostoc commune were selected to measure temperature response curves of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in cooling experiment using a constant rate of cooling from 20 to –45°C. Two chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (FV/FM – potential yield of photosynthetic processes in photosystem II and ΦPSII – effective quantum yield) were measured with a modulated fluorometer. For all experimental species, the temperature-response curves of II FV/FM and ΦPSII showed typical triphasic shape: plateau (temperature decrease from 20 to –5°C), decline, and a shoulder reaching the critical point. The phase typically formed a S-curve of different shape as dependent on species and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter. U. cylindrica was the most cryoresistant in terms of photosynthetic processes ongoing in thylakoid membrane of chloroplast at below zero temperature.
