Description on the Edible Mushroom
Polysaccharide
|
Due to the pollution of natural environment
is serious more and more and the intense competition
on the social environment in the present days, the
edible mushroom as a pure natural resource is playing
more and more roles in the human health because
of its special efficacy.
The fruit body of edible mushroom contains rich
nutritional and medicinal components. However, the
health-protecting and curative activities are not
sufficiently displayed if intakes directly. The
efficacy could be improved only after the active
components are concentrated or purified. Jingyuan
Company extracted the active components including
proteoglycan, alkaloids and triterpenoid compounds
by using the biotechnological technique according
to the character of various medicinal and edible
mushrooms. Among the polysaccharide components,
the main component is glucan which possesses the
linear chain conjugated with theβ1,3 glucoside and
the branch chain conjugated with β1,6 glucoside,
thus constituting the special space structure and
possessed a good physiological activity, and showed
a very important role in human health, such as the
improvement of organism immunity and the activity
of lymphocyte, strengthen the resistance of organism,
stimulate the phagocytosis function of leukocytes
to pathogen and abnormal cells, scavenge the production
of free radicals in body fluid and prevent from
the oxidation of membrane and protect the normal
cells, depress the cholesterol in blood and blood-pressure
and blood-lipid as well as the production of various
antibiotics that showed a good inhibitory role to
virus and bacteria. Besides the special curative
effect of mushroom polysaccharide on human disease,
it is a natural tonic, its activity is normally
comprehensive, they showed the roles of nourishing
and strengthening the organism, improving the resistance
and anti-senile activity. The Company developed
and produced the following polysaccharide dry-powdered
products including the Polyporus frondosus mushroom,
glossy ganoderma mushroom, small pine mushroom,
Oyster cap mushroom, Monkeyhead mushroom, Chinese
caterpillar mushroom in batch process.
The above-mentioned products could be widely used
in the following aspects: 1. Food additive; 2. Healthy
food; 3. Nutritional supplements; 4. Supplementary
medicine for the cancer patients during the radioactive-
or chemo-therapy; 5. Beauty and skin-protecting
