Lentinus edodes polysaccharide is an effective active ingredient extracted from the fruiting body of high-quality lentinus edodes. Lentinus edodes polysaccharide has the functions of anti-virus, regulating immune function and stimulating interferon formation.
Lentinan is a polar macromolecule compound, and its specific structure is closely related to immune activity. It is generally believed that increasing the solubility of polysaccharide is beneficial to improve its physiological activity. The activity of polysaccharides with medium molecular weight was higher than that of polysaccharides with high or low molecular weight. The polysaccharide soluble in hot water has been shown to have antitumor activity.
At present, the extraction of lentinan is mostly carried out in hot water and dilute alkali solutions, avoiding strong acid and alkali solutions, otherwise it is very easy to cause glycosidic bond breakage and conformational changes in the polysaccharide. The commonly used separation and purification methods include boiling water extraction, ethanol precipitation, dialysis and column chromatography
1. The immunomodulatory effect of lentinus edodes polysaccharide is the important basis of its biological activity. Lentinan is a typical activator of T cells, which promotes the production of interleukins and the function of mononuclear macrophages.
2. It is considered as a special immune enhancer. Lentinan can improve macrophage function. Lentinus edodes polysaccharide has the effect of reducing toxicity and enhancing efficiency.
3. Lentinus edodes polysaccharide is a kind of special biological active substance, it is a kind of biological response enhancer and regulator, it can enhance humoral immunity and cellular immunity function.
1. Application in health care product:
As a dietary supplement, it strengthens the immune system, resists viruses, and shortens the course of colds.
2. Application in Food:
Improve immune function, relieve symptoms. Resistant to virus invasion.
3.In the field of agriculture
lentinan has broad spectrum and high efficiency, which can meet the needs of green agricultural production.
