#CMT# #/CMT# Process of treating plants of vegetable crops and/or fruit crops to enrich selenium, comprises providing selenium in the form of inactive yeast and/or yeast derivatives by foliar application on the plants. #CMT#ACTIVITY : #/CMT# Cardiovascular-Gen.; Cytostatic; Antiinflammatory; Virucide. #CMT#MECHANISM OF ACTION : #/CMT# None given. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# The selenium enriched fruits and/or vegetables are useful for animal or human consumption, preferably in food complements (claimed) to prevent e.g. cardiovascular diseases, cancer, Keshan disease and inflammation of the heart muscle caused by a virus. No biological data given. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The process is non-toxic. The foliar application efficiently enriches the selenium content in plants, vegetable or fruit products. #CMT#AGRICULTURE : #/CMT# Preferred Process: The yeast is inactivated thermally, chemically or enzymatically. The yeast (derivatives) are applied by foliar pulverization after suspension in water. #CMT#BIOLOGY : #/CMT# Preferred Components: The yeast derivatives are yeast extracts and/or yeast cell cortex. The inactivated yeast belongs to the Saccharomyces genus such as such as S. cerevisiae, S. bayanus, S. uvarum or S. boulardii, Candida genus or Torula genus or the yeast derivatives resulting from such yeasts. #CMT#ADMINISTRATION : #/CMT# Administration of selenium provided by the yeast (derivatives) is 0.5-20 g, preferably 5 g, per hectare by foliar pulverization (claimed). |
