Abstract: PURPOSE: The aim is to establish regularities in the biochemistry of plant fluids and human blood. The work seeks to contribute to efforts of producing of human blood or plasma with plant origin. METHODS: Digital instrumental methods were used. Statistics was done through computer program XLStat. Reference data on the biochemistry of human blood was used. RESULTS: Some similarities and differences were found between plant fluids and the human blood. Total sugar in a human's blood is the lowest compared to studied plant fluids. Glucose in human blood is similar to that in a grapevine sap. Fructose is in lowest amount in human blood. The water in human blood is almost the same as that of plant fluids. pH of human blood is low alkaline, but plant fluids are slightly acidic to acidic. Fats in vegetables are in greater quantities in vegetables, resp. they are close to human blood. The electrical conductivity of human blood is the highest compared to the studied plant fluids. The amount of dissolved solids in human blood is close to that of vegetables. CONCLUSIONS: There is no complete similarity between the studied liquids, but they are similar in water content and they have similar ratios between biochemical indicators.
