Abstract
Disclosed are freeze-dried plasma formats specifically designed for the trauma care field. Blood plasma is subjected to a glucose removal step, a protein fraction up-concentration step and addition of stabilizers prior to freeze-drying. Preferable stabilizers are glutamine dipeptides, glutamine and glycine. The glutamine based formulation is added direct to plasma and serves three main purposes: 1) Increases stability of plasma proteins and stabilizes pH in freeze-dried state; 2) Increases stability of plasma proteins against Gamma Irradiation and thus allows for the application of a terminal sterilization step; 3) Introduces supplements beneficial to the trauma patient.
