Abstract
Exopolysaccharides from fungi [EPSs] have been acknowledged over the past 20 years as high-value macromolecules. These products have a variety of requests in the pharmaceutical, medical, food, and other industries. Apart from anticancer and antiviral potential, they also increase the nutrient content of human food and the aridity of the soil. The general outline of the present study covers the characteristics, purification, and analysis of fungal EPS and the applications thereof in human welfare. It is enough to say that chemicals with the required bioactivity may be produced or extracted from the fungi via genetic, biochemical, and technological manipulation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
