Procedures concerning cryopreservation have utilized raffinose to provide hypertonicity for cell desiccation prior to freezing, raffinose can be used as stabilizing agent for cryopreservation of animal semen. In addition, raffinose is also the key component of the conservation transportation liquid for human or animal organs transplantation and the synergist of prolong the survival time of viable organism.</P>
