"Review of Bioactive Molecules Production, Biomass, and Basidiomata of Shiitake Culinary-Medicinal Mushrooms, Lentinus edodes (Agaricomycetes)"

"Lentinus edodes (shiitake) is a basidiomycete that has been consumed for more than 2000 years because of its nutritional value and health benefits. It has a low lipid content, high fiber content, and a considerable amount of proteins; it also contains B vitamins and minerals in addition to a wide range of functional metabolites including polysaccharides, polysaccharopeptides, lectins, and secondary metabolites with bioactivity, e.g., lentinan, a β-(1-3)-glucan with immunomodulatory activity, among others. Extracts and pure compounds of shiitake exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, cytostatic, antioxidant, anticancer, and immunomodulatory activity. Because of these attributes, different products derived from shiitake are on the market and are sold as dietary supplements. The traditional substrate for shiitake production is oak wood, yet the search for unconventional substrates has intensified over the past three decades. In particular, submerged cultivation of medicinal mushrooms has attracted great interest because it enables greater control of different fermentation factors to obtain products of interest. However, it is necessary to perform in vivo studies to determine the appropriate doses, side effects, and action spectrum of different bioactive compounds and fractions as well as to improve their production in liquid media and to potentiate their activity. We present an updated review of existing studies on the production of biomass and bioactive compounds of L. edodes in liquid culture and on solid fermentation for obtaining secondary mycelia and basidiomata."

WHAT DOES THE 15:1 - 8:1 EXTRACTION RATIO MEAN:

The extraction report of each medicinal mushroom extract identifies the initial amount of dried mushroom used to arrive at the final product. For example, our 15:1 extracts are produced from 15 kg of dried mushroom fruit bodies. The extraction method uses hot water and/or alcohol to separate the different bioactive compounds (different types of Polysaccharides - Beta Glucans - Terpenes - Triterpenes etc ...) This liquid obtained is then dried by a spray method until 1 kg of a powerful pure mushroom extract is obtained with all the beneficial compounds of the original 15 kg of dried mushrooms. The diversity of the extraction ratio varies depending on the fungus treated. The whole process takes place in a high-tech factory to ensure the highest quality in terms of safety and certified power of the extracts. The analyzes performed on all our batches in Italian laboratories guarantee the complete absence of chemical residues.
