Efficient extraction and antioxidant activity of polyphenols from Antrodia cinnamomea.

Background: Antrodia cinnamomea, a rare medicinal fungus, has been increasingly studied in recent years because of its abundant secondary metabolites which are beneficial to humans. However, there is a lack of research on its polyphenols which are of good research value due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and other activities.

Results: In this study, the effects of different extraction conditions on the yield of its polyphenols were investigated.

Optimization of Extraction Process and the Antioxidant Activity of Phenolics from .

, is a widely used medicinal fungus. The polyphenols extracted from this fungus exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic effects. In this study, polyphenols from the fruiting bodies of were obtained using the deep eutectic solvent (DES) extraction method.
