Changes in the starch quality of adlay seed varieties (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) from different regions in China after high-temperature storage.

The effects of high-temperature storage at 37 °C on the crystallinity, pasting, rheological, and thermal properties of adlay seed starches from three famous Chinese varieties were studied. The results showed that high-temperature storage altered the natural structure of adlay seed starch, resulting in increased peak viscosity for all starch pastes after one month of storage at 37 °C. Jinsha adlay seed starch (JSC), which had the highest amylose content (11.

[Effects of Loquat-Branch Dust Substitution on Ganoderma lucidum Cultivation in Its Main Active Components].

Objective: To select the best Ganoderma lucidum cultivation medium of replacing sawdust into loquat-branch dust, in order to realize high output and high quality production of Ganoderma lucidum.

Methods: Loquat-branch dust was added as substitution in Ganoderma lucidum cultivation, its effects on the biomass and the content of Ganoderma polysaccharides, triterpenoids and flavonoids were analyzed.

Results: By using loquat-branch dust in culture, Ganoderma lucidum grew well with normal fruiting body obtained and spores released.
