Assignee: BEE-IO HONEY TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.
Field: Pharmaceuticals (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC A  B | IPC A  B

Claim 0:
1. A pressure driven microfluidic platform device for ex-vivo production of emulated honey comprising:
a) a pressurized plant nectar reservoir;
b) a plurality of microfluidic devices, operable to convert the nectar to emulated honey, each microfluidic device having an anterior end and a posterior end, and defining a longitudinal axis XL, and a first bore being in fluid communication with the pressurized plant nectar reservoir, and a second bore, in fluid communication with the emulated honey collection vessel, wherein each microfluidic device further comprises:
i. a first receptacle, configured to receive a predetermined amount of a nectar composition from the pressurized plant nectar reservoir, the first receptacle being in liquid communication with the first bore;
ii. a microfluidic conduit in liquid communication with and extending anteriorly from the first receptacle;
iii. a pressurized conversion receptacle comprising a conversion composition with a bee derived invertase, in liquid communication with the microfluidic conduit, adjoined to the microfluidic conduit in a first junction downstream from the first receptacle;
iv. a pressurized processing receptacle containing a processing composition comprising at least one of an alpha-amylase enzyme, a glucose oxidase enzyme, and a catalase enzyme, each derived from a bee, the pressurized processing receptacle being in liquid communication with the microfluidic conduit, adjoined to the microfluidic conduit in a second junction downstream from the pressurized conversion receptacle; and
v. a concentrating receptacle, having an outlet and an inlet, the inlet being in liquid communication with the microfluidic conduit and adjoined to the microfluidic conduit downstream from the pressurized processing receptacle, and the outlet being in liquid communication with the second bore; and

c) an emulated honey collection vessel in fluid communication with each microfluidic device.
