Abstract
|
|
|
|
The amount of β-glucans in 12 edible mushroom species was determined and their water-solubility was assessed. A large variability in β-glucans content was observed in the mushroom species, ranging from 4.71 to 46.20% on a dry basis. Gyrophora esculenta, Lentinus edodes, Coriolus versicolor, Ganodenna lucidum, and Flammulina velutipes had high levels of β-glucans Soluble β-glucans content, which plays a key role in the physiological effects of mushrooms, also varied greatly according to the mushroom species, ranging from 2.12 to 19.66%. Water-solubility of β-glucans in the edible mushrooms, as a percentage of total β-glucans content varied from 42.55 to 73.35%.
