Abstract Background Mushroom polysaccharides have traditionally been used for the prevention and treatment of a multitude disorders like infectious illnesses, cancers various autoimmune diseases. Crude mushroom extracts tested without detailed chemical analyses its polysaccharide content. For present study we decided to chemically determine carbohydrate composition semi-purified from 2 closely related well known basidiomycete species, i.e. Agaricus bisporus A. brasiliensis their effects on...
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and pressurized liquid (PLE) were compared as advanced technologies to obtain polysaccharides (particularly biologically active β-glucans) from Pleurotus ostreatus Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies. Extraction effectiveness was by a full-factorial experimental design (response surface methodology, RSM), using water solvent. Total carbohydrate content of the obtained extracts polysaccharide yields variable responses investigated, while temperature time...
A polysaccharide-enriched extract obtained from Lentinula edodes was submitted to several purification steps separate three different D-glucans with β-(1→6), β-(1→3),(1→6) and α-(1→3) linkages, being characterized through GC-MS, FT-IR, NMR, SEC colorimetric/fluorimetric determinations. Moreover, in vitro hypocholesterolemic, antitumoral, anti-inflammatory antioxidant activities were also tested. Isolated glucans exerted HMGCR inhibitory activity, but only β-(1→6) fractions showed DPPH...
The Ascomycete Cordyceps militaris, an entomopathogenic fungus, is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicines. Studies related to its pharmacological properties suggest that this mushroom can exert interesting biological activities. Aqueous (CW and HW) alkaline (K5) extracts containing polysaccharides were prepared from mushroom, a β-D-glucan was purified. This polymer analysed by GC-MS NMR spectrometry, showing linear chain composed β-D-Glcp (1→3)-linked. six main signals in...
For many years mushrooms have been consumed and appreciated by their nutritional value, medicinal properties. The traditional mushroom cultivation takes too long the macrofungi biotechnology has not explored in its full potential yet. goal of this work was to observe if different carbon sources could improve yield diversify fungi nutrient composition submerged culture. Pleurotus pulmonarius mycelia exopolysacharide productions were evaluated using glucose, galactose, xylose arabinose. varied...
A β-D-glucan was obtained from the edible mushroom Pholiota nameko by hot aqueous extraction and purification. NMR methylation analyses of purified fraction (GHW-PN, 1.46% yield) indicated presence a (1 → 3)-linked β-D-glucan, highly substituted (~27%) at O-6 single units β-D-Glcp or 6)-β-D-Glcp fragments. The β-glucan (at 0.5, 1, 2%) showed shear thinning behavior when concentration solution increased, there an increase in apparent viscosity. presented gel-like thermal stability under...
