Valorization of Hericium erinaceus By-Products for β-Glucan Recovery via Pulsed Electric Field-Assisted Alkaline Extraction and Prebiotic Potential Analysis
mycolabadmin
This research shows how scientists can extract beneficial compounds called β-glucans from leftover Lion’s Mane mushroom material using electrical pulses and alkaline treatment. These extracted compounds work like prebiotics, feeding and promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in your gut, which then produce healthy fatty acids that support digestive health. The method is environmentally friendly and could help food companies make functional ingredients from mushroom waste.
