Process of obtaining thylakoids from photosynthetic organisms； plant fractions obtained from the process； pure thylakoids； and methods of use of thylakoids as ROS scavengers, photo-protectors, biosensors, biofilters and bioreactors
This invention relates to a process by which an extract comprising integral thylakoids is obtained. The resulting extract is a potent dynamic antioxidant useful as a ROS (reactive oxygen species) scavenger. This extract is intended to be used for the treatment or prevention of diseases involving the generation of ROS, such as inflammatory diseases or cancer. This extract also finds a use as a solar screen because of its capacity to capture UV radiations and to dissipate the solar energy into heat.
