Abstract
Mushrooms are rich in bioactive polysaccharides, particularly α- and β-glucans, renowned for their immunomodulatory properties. The present study optimised the cultivation methods and quantified α-, β-, and total glucan from Hericium erinaceus (Lion's Mane) and Lentinula edodes (Shiitake) mushrooms. Shiitake exhibited an α-glucan content ranging from 0.806% to 5.521%, with the highest at 5.521% (DMRO-356), approximately 8.2 times higher than Lion's Mane (HE-TC), which had 0.673%. For β-glucans, Shiitake strains showed a range of 13.433-26.190%, with the highest value at 26.190% (DMRX-2022) which was 1.5-fold higher than HE-TC at 17.442%. The findings emphasise Indian Shiitake strains' remarkable α and β-glucan content and their potential as immune-boosting supplements. Incorporating these mushrooms into commercial products and health supplements requires more research on their bioavailability and health advantages.
期刊介绍：
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
