An aqueous organ preservation solution includes taurine and L-alanine-L-glutamine and glutamic acid. The organ preservation composition can be stored in a solid state, for example in the form of small particles (e.g. a powder or micronized powder), and be dissolved in water, thereby instantly providing a ready-to-use organ preservation solution.
