PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF NEW TYPE OF HEPARIN-CONTAINING RAW MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to the production of a new type of heparin-containing raw material by the collection and processing of animal organs. The heparin-containing animal organs, optionally after cutting, are pretreated in an aqueous medium within the temperature range of 10-50.degree.C. A heparin- protein-containing complex insoluble in water is then separated from the pretreated aqueous suspension at a temperature extending to 100.degree.C, which complex is isolated. The isolated heparin-containing semi-product is dried at a temperature preferably below 100.degree.C, until a friable product of 90-95% dry substance content is obtained. This product can be processed to give heparin of therapeutic quality.
