Compositions comprising Fabaceae family plant components, processes of preparation and uses thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a dry chloroplast composition comprising chloroplasts isolated from Fabaceae family plants. The composition has a moisture content of less than about 8%. The composition has at least one ratio chosen from: a ratio of chlorophyll/fructose 1,6-biphosphatase (FBPP) of about 50 to about 130, the ratio of chlorophyll/FBPP being chlorophyll ⁢ in ⁢ ( mg / g ) FBPP ⁢ in ⁢ ( intensity / mg ⁢ powder ) × 1 ⁢ 0 ⁢ 0 ⁢ 0 ⁢ 0 ⁢ 0 ⁢ 0 ⁢ 0 , The FBPP intensity being measured by immunoblot, a ratio of Rubisco/chlorophyll of about 25 to about 65, the ratio of Rubisco/chlorophyll being ( R ⁢ u ⁢ bisco ⁢ in ⁢ intensity c ⁢ h ⁢ l ⁢ o ⁢ r ⁢ o ⁢ phyll ⁢ in ⁡ ( mg / g ) ) / 1000 , wherein the Rubisco intensity being measured by immunoblot, a ratio of Rubisco/chlorophyll of about 2.5 ng/mg to about 6.5 ng/mg, the ratio of Rubisco/chlorophyll being ( R ⁢ u ⁢ bisco ⁢ in ⁢ ng / mg ⁢ powder c ⁢ h ⁢ l ⁢ o ⁢ r ⁢ o ⁢ phyll ⁢ in ⁡ ( mg / g ) ) / 1000 , and a ratio of Rubisco/FBPP of about 18 to about 100, the ratio of Rubisco/FBPP being ( R ⁢ u ⁢ bisco ⁢ in ⁢ ng / mg ⁢ powder FBPP ⁢ in ⁢ intensity / mg ) × 100.
