猴头菇多糖研究进展

猴头菇(Hericium erinaceus)是珍贵的药膳兼用菌.近年来,很多学者从猴头菇子实体、菌丝体及菌丝发酵液中分离得到多糖.现代医学和药理学的很多研究对猴头菇多糖的药用功效概括为提高免疫力、抗肿瘤、抗衰老、降血脂等多种生理功能.本文介绍了猴头菇多糖提取、分离、纯化方面的技术进展,着重阐述了目前国内外对猴头菇多糖的组成、结构分析及生物活性的最新研究进展,讨论了目前研究中存在的问题,并对其发展前景进行了展望.

Advances on Hericium erinaceus Polysaccharides

Hericium erinaceus is valuable for both pharmacopoeia and edibility. Polysaccharides of Hericium erinaceus have been isolated from fruit-bodies or mycelium or fermented liquor by many researchers recently. Researches in medicine and pharmacology have proved that polysaccharides of Hericium erinaceus have certain therapeutical effects on improving immunity, restraining cancer and senescence, reducing blood sugar, and so on. In this review, the methods of extraction, isolation and purification were reviewed and the latest research development of composition, structural analysis, biological activity and development prospect of polysaccharides isolated from Hericium erinaceus were elaborated also.
