Effects of subcritical water extraction microenvironment on the structure and biological activities of polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes

In the present study, we investigated the effects of subcritical water microenvironment on the structure and biological activities of polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes. The results showed that, under different SWE conditions (100-150 °C for 15 min, and 150 °C for 10-30 min), all the polysaccharides were heteropolysaccharides and consisted of glucose, mannose and galactose with different molar ratios. In addition, FT-IR results showed that all...
