A novel, homogeneous <italic>Pleurotus eryngii</italic> polysaccharide (PEP) (molecular weight 426 kDa, purity 91.25 ± 3.14%) which mainly consisted of glucose with β-type glycosidic linkages was used to investigate <italic>in vivo</italic> fermentation behavior and effects on immune response in mice.
Abstract The recent ban of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) as a food additive (E171) in France intensified the controversy on safety foodborne‐TiO nanoparticles (NPs). This study determines biological effects TiO NPs and obese non‐obese mice. Oral consumption (0.1 wt% diet for 8 weeks) (E171, 112 nm) (33 does not cause severe toxicity mice, but significantly alters composition gut microbiota, example, increased abundance Firmicutes phylum decreased Bacteroidetes Bifidobacterium Lactobacillus...
<italic>Flammulina velutipes</italic> polysaccharides (FVP) and the FVP-induced microbiota have been proved to be effective in improving learning memory impairment mice.
Using the <italic>Flammulina velutipes</italic> polysaccharide (FVP) extracted from our previous study, herein, we investigated improvement of this β-type glycosidic in alleviating dextran sodium sulfate-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice.
Proteins from edible mushrooms have a variety of biological activities. Here, thirteen precious such as Ophiocordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, and Morchella esculenta nine common Flammulina velutipes, Pleurotus ostreatus, eryngii, etc., which their proteins were extracted, composition analyzed immunomodulatory activity assessed. Rare are species with higher value medicinal than mushrooms. The results showed that all the different mushroom crude increased proliferation phagocytosis mouse...
Soy protein isolate (SPI) is a commercial with balanced amino acids, while the poor solubility impedes its use in traditional foods. To overcome problem, complex coacervation of SPI/Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide (FVP) were investigated. Initial results revealed that suitable amounts FVP contributed to reducing turbidity SPI solution. Under electrostatic interaction, formation SPI/FVP coacervates spontaneous and went through nucleation growth process. Low salt concentration (CNaCl = 10,...
