1. A method for obtaining biological material and substances followed by commercially viable preparation and preservation of plants, funguses, lichens and algae, entire plant-, fungus-, lichen- or algae material, parts of entire plant-, fungus-, lichen- or algae species and/or any desired combinations of these species or parts of them, or mixes of them including but not limited to those serving herbal, medicinal and supplemental properties and purposes, with sad method comprising of the following steps, manipulations and conditions listed below in a non-successive order:
rapid instantaneous deep freezing of the entire plant-, fungus-, lichen- and/or algae material used for commercial purposes shortly after the material collection, within minutes (less than two hours, but preferably within 20 minutes or less), before the vitality of the cells is destroyed,—by the means of using (preferably but not limited to) liquefied and/or solidified deep-freezing liquids or gases to momentarily submerse the biological material with their deep-cold solid-, liquid- or gaseous state (molecules) in certain enclosed volumes resulting in instant rapid deep freezing of the biological material to temperatures below minus−30 degree Celsius (° C.), and by the means of using preferably but not limited to liquid nitrogen (at minus−180° C. to minus−170° C.), dry ice (carbon dioxide) (at minus−80° C. to minus−30° C.) or else (below minus−30° C.)—thereby preserving the prevailing majority of both the cell structure and content as in the state of vitality mainly as a result of so called water “glassification” (vitrification) process (i.e. water freezing without crystallization, volume increase, and morphological and chemical structure disruption of the biomaterial); storing, transporting, grinding or else treating the sad plant-, fungus-, lichen- and/or algae material and/or mixing different species materials or parts of them under conditions preferably (but not limited to) being submerged in liquid nitrogen, dry ice or otherwise at temperatures not increasing above the minus−20° C. until the containing water is completely evaporated from the biological material by sublimation (from solid—to gaseous form) and removed from the volume (vessel) containing the dry biological material; drying the frozen (below the minus−20° C.) biological material entirely by sublimation of the containing water molecules from the biological material into the surrounding air followed by further removal of the water vapor out of the bio-material-containing volume (vessel) by means including but not limited to removal by vacuumization, adsorption into hydroscopic substrates (materials), ventilation and liquefaction (condensation) on acceptor surfaces & materials, etc. and/or combination of the above; mechanical processing of the biological material in enclosed volumes under completely dry condition maintained by vacuum, chemically inert gases such as but not limited to nitrogen and/or else atmosphere—such a processing including but not limited to chopping, grinding, weighting, transferring, storage-vessel filling, capsule filling, tablet making, encapsulation within hard-surface materials capable of maintaining further dry conditions, preventing contacts with volatile solutions, gases and/or else under cold- or ambient temperatures not increasing above 60° C. |
