The purpose of this study was to enhance the immune-enhancing activity mushroom strains through fermentation promote food use leaf extracts S. quelpaertensis containing β-glucan. We evaluated immunomodulatory effect from fermented leaves (SQGL, SQHE, SQPL). products were prepared by using mycelia (Ganoderma lucidum, Hericium erinaceum, Phellinus linteus). content β-glucan, a major substance in ...

During surveys in the Brazilian Amazon, Atlantic Forest and Caatinga, several species of poroid Hymenochaetaceae were collected. Of collected specimens, ITS LSU sequences generated phylogenetic analyses performed. From morphological inferences, Sclerotus Xavier de Lima, gen. nov. is described based on collections Phellinus extensus, while Inonotus parvisetus V.R.T. Oliveira, Lima & Gibertoni, s...

A bacterial contamination in processed foods has been a continuing challenge for the food industry. Many chemical preservatives are showing signs of inefficiencies as microorganisms build resistance. Therefore, research into novel antimicrobial compounds is critical improving safety. The ethanolic extracts medicinal mushrooms (MM; Agaricus blazei Murrill, Ganoderma lucidum, Grifola frondosa, In...
