Article Synopsis
- Hericium erinaceum is a traditional edible mushroom in Asia, and researchers extracted polysaccharides from it for analysis.
- The study used HPLC to determine that the main components of these polysaccharides were glucose and galactose, while FT-IR analysis confirmed their structural characteristics.
- In tests on aged rats, H. erinaceum polysaccharides improved skin health by boosting antioxidant enzymes and collagen levels, indicating their potential anti-skin-aging effects.
