Abstract
Stropharia rugosoannulata (S. rugosoannulata, commonly known as wine-cap mushroom) has a rich history of utilisation in both culinary and medicinal contexts. As components inherent to this fungus, S. rugosoannulata polysaccharides (SRPs) exhibit a broad spectrum of notable bioactivities. A comprehensive review of methods for extracting, isolating, and purifying SRPs was conducted. The structural characteristics of SRP, including molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, and types of glycosidic linkages, were also examined. Recent studies have demonstrated that SRPs scavenge free radicals, regulate immune cell functions, improve glucose‒lipid metabolism, alleviate colitis, inhibit colon cancer cell growth, and protect heart function. Additionally, the structure‒activity relationship is also discussed. This review enhances our understanding of the structure and function of SRPs, thereby demonstrating that S. rugosoannulata is truly a treasure trove waiting to be utilized.
期刊介绍:
Plant Foods for Human Nutrition (previously Qualitas Plantarum) is an international journal that publishes reports of original research and critical reviews concerned with the improvement and evaluation of the nutritional quality of plant foods for humans, as they are influenced by:
- Biotechnology (all fields, including molecular biology and genetic engineering)
- Food science and technology
- Functional, nutraceutical or pharma foods
- Other nutrients and non-nutrients inherent in plant foods
