Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how the levels of triterpenoids from Reishi mushrooms change over time when incubated in rumen fluid.
- After milling the mushroom fruiting bodies and incubating them at various time intervals (0 to 48 hours), the triterpenoids were extracted and quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
- The findings showed that triterpenoids decreased at different rates, with some showing a rapid decline of over 50% in 8 hours, while others had minimal changes even after 48 hours, indicating varied digestion and metabolism in rumen fluid.
