Article Synopsis
- Grifola frondosa (hen of the woods) is a mushroom known for its culinary and medicinal benefits, and the study explores the effects of adding Rhizoma gastrodiae extract to enhance its properties.
- During the fermentation process, p-hydroxylbenzaldehyde (HBA) was the most effectively utilized compound from R. gastrodiae, resulting in improved antioxidant activities in the exopolysaccharides (EPS) derived from G. frondosa when combined with the extract.
- The research found that the exopolysaccharides from the fermentation with R. gastrodiae (REPS) showed superior antioxidant and immune-boosting properties compared to standard EPS and HBA, indicating that R. gastrod
Gastrodin (GA), p-hydroxylbenzaldehyde (HBA), p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (gastrodigenin, HA) and parishin not only are the major active ingredients of Rhizoma gastrodiae, but exist transformed relations from each other throughout the fermentation process of Grifola frondosa in this work. We had found that parishin (non-free gastrodin) almost could completely transformed into gastrodin (GA, free gastrodin) after R. gastrodiae alcohol extract was sterilized by moist heat (121 °C, 30 min), but before was added into submerged cultivation of G.
