Product Description

Product Description

Basic Information

 

• Source: Mushroom polysaccharides are mainly derived from the fruiting bodies or mycelia of various mushrooms. Common mushroom varieties include Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus, Flammulina velutipes, etc. They are a kind of polysaccharide component obtained from mushrooms through extraction, separation, and purification processes. These mushrooms are widely cultivated around the world and have abundant sources.
• Chemical Structure: Mushroom polysaccharides are complex high-molecular-weight polysaccharides. Their structures are usually polymers formed by connecting multiple monosaccharide molecules (such as glucose, mannose, galactose, etc.) through glycosidic bonds. The monosaccharide composition and the types of glycosidic bonds of polysaccharides extracted from different kinds of mushrooms may vary, which also leads to differences in their functional characteristics.
• Appearance and Properties: They are generally in the form of white to light yellow powder, odorless, tasteless, or with a slight smell characteristic of mushrooms. The powder has a fine texture, good fluidity, and has a certain degree of solubility in water, and the formed solution may be transparent or slightly turbid.

Components

 

• Main Component: Mushroom polysaccharides are the core component. Their content varies depending on factors such as production processes, raw material quality, and product uses. In high-purity products, the content of mushroom polysaccharides can reach above 70% - 90%.
• Impurity Components: They may contain small amounts of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, minerals, and other polysaccharide impurities. In high-quality products, the contents of these impurities will be strictly controlled. For example, the protein content may be controlled below 10% to ensure the purity and quality of mushroom polysaccharides.

Specifications

 

• Content Specifications: There are various content specifications of mushroom polysaccharide products on the market, such as 30%, 50%, 70% purity grades, etc., to meet the needs of different application fields. High-purity products are usually used in the pharmaceutical industry and high-end health products, while products with lower purity can be used for general food addition, etc.
• Packaging Specifications: There are diverse packaging specifications. Common ones include 100 g/bottle, 250 g/bag, 500 g/can, 1 kg/package, 25 kg/drum, etc. Small packages are suitable for retail and personal use, while large packages are convenient for industrial production and bulk procurement.

Quality Standards

 

• Detection Methods:
  • For the detection of the content of mushroom polysaccharides, the commonly used method is high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD), which can accurately determine its content.
  • Colorimetric methods such as the phenol-sulfuric acid method are also used to detect the content of polysaccharides. In terms of detecting impurities, the Kjeldahl method is used to detect protein content, and the Soxhlet extraction method is used to detect lipid content.
• Quality Indicators:
  • The purity requirement depends on the product grade and use. Generally, high-purity products require the content of mushroom polysaccharides to be above 70%.
  • The moisture content usually needs to be controlled below 8% - 10% to prevent the product from getting damp, caking, and affecting its performance and shelf life.
  • Microbiological indicators are strict. The total number of bacteria generally does not exceed 1000 cfu/g, the number of molds and yeasts does not exceed 100 cfu/g, and harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella should not be detected.

Efficacy and Functions

 

• Immune Regulation: Mushroom polysaccharides can activate the body's immune system and enhance the activity and functions of immune cells (such as macrophages, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, etc.). They can stimulate immune cells to secrete various cytokines, such as interferons and interleukins, thereby improving the body's immune defense ability and helping the body resist the invasion of pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. For example, in the adjuvant treatment of cancer patients, mushroom polysaccharides can enhance the patients' immunity and reduce the damage to the body's immune system caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
• Antitumor Effect: Although mushroom polysaccharides cannot directly kill tumor cells, they can play an indirect antitumor role by activating the immune system. They can enhance the body's immune surveillance function, enabling immune cells to recognize and eliminate tumor cells. Some studies have shown that when mushroom polysaccharides are used in combination with chemotherapy drugs, the efficacy of tumor treatment can be improved, and the side effects of chemotherapy drugs can be reduced.
• Antioxidant Effect: Mushroom polysaccharides have a certain antioxidant capacity and can scavenge free radicals in the body, such as superoxide anion radicals and hydroxyl radicals. Free radicals are important factors leading to oxidative damage to cells, aging, and many diseases. Mushroom polysaccharides neutralize free radicals by providing hydrogen atoms, reducing oxidative stress reactions, and thus protecting cells, which helps to delay aging and prevent chronic diseases.
• Blood Glucose and Lipid Lowering Effects: Mushroom polysaccharides can regulate blood glucose and lipid levels to some extent. They may affect the activities of enzymes related to glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism, promote the utilization of glucose and the metabolism of cholesterol, and thus lower blood glucose and lipids. For patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia, this may be an option for adjuvant treatment.

Application Fields

 

• Pharmaceutical Industry:
  • As drug raw materials, they are used to develop drugs for antitumor, immune regulation, etc. For example, some mushroom polysaccharide injections are used for the adjuvant treatment of cancer patients to enhance their immunity and reduce the side effects of treatment.
  • In drug research and development, mushroom polysaccharides are also studied as potential drug components for the treatment of immune deficiency diseases, chronic inflammation, and other diseases.
• Health Product Industry: They are made into various health products, such as capsules, tablets, oral liquids, etc. These health products are mainly targeted at people with low immunity to help them enhance immunity, resist oxidation, and prevent diseases.
• Food Industry: As functional food additives, they are added to foods such as biscuits, beverages, and functional foods. They can increase the nutritional value of foods and at the same time endow foods with health care functions such as immune regulation.

Product Cases

 

• A certain brand of mushroom polysaccharide capsules: Each capsule contains 700 mg of mushroom polysaccharides with a purity of over 90%. This product is mainly targeted at people with weak immunity. It is recommended to take 2 - 3 capsules a day. By taking them orally, mushroom polysaccharides can be supplemented to the human body to enhance the body's immunity.
• A certain mushroom polysaccharide functional beverage: Each 100 ml of the beverage contains 5 g of mushroom polysaccharides, and some vitamins and minerals and other nutritional components are also added. This beverage focuses on the concept of a healthy drink and is suitable for daily drinking, providing consumers with a convenient way to ingest mushroom polysaccharides while supplementing energy and nutrients.
