Fungal Species:  Ganoderma sinensis

Amylase-assisted extraction alters nutritional and physicochemical properties of polysaccharides and saponins isolated from Ganoderma spp

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how enzyme treatment improves extraction of beneficial compounds from reishi mushrooms. They found that using amylase enzyme significantly increased the amounts of healthy polysaccharides and saponins recovered, especially from cultivated black reishi canopies. These extracted compounds work as natural emulsifiers comparable to lecithin and remain stable even at very high temperatures, making them promising ingredients for functional foods and health products.
