What are benefits of Tremella Polysaccharides?

Tremella is rich in nutrients and delicious in taste, and is an edible fungus with high nutritional value. With the rapid development of Tremella cultivation, researchers have gradually deepened the research on the nutritional components of Tremella and its role in health care. Tremella polysaccharide is an important active component of Tremella, and its function has attracted more and more attention.

Function of Tremella Polysaccharides

1. Processing characteristics in food production

Tremella polysaccharides contain more homogeneous polysaccharides (about 70-75% of the total polysaccharides), which can increase solution viscosity and stabilize emulsification. Therefore, it is used in the processing of beverages, dairy products and cold food products, which can not only endow the food with good processing characteristics, but also reduce the use of synthetic additives and improve the nutritional value of the food.

2. The efficacy of health care medicine

The composition of Tremella polysaccharides is diverse, not only in monomers, but also in configurations and conformations after forming multimers: multiple polysaccharides are mixed together to make their biological activities diverse. Modern research has fully confirmed that Tremella polysaccharides have various health care functions, which are summarized as follows:

(1) Immune regulation and anti-tumor effects

Over the years, scientists have found that Tremella polysaccharides are involved in the regulation of various life phenomena of cells, such as the transmission and perception of information between immune cells, activation of immune cells, and improvement of the body's immune function. Through this participation, Tremella polysaccharide can not only play an anti-tumor effect by enhancing the immune function of the host, but also directly kill tumor cells by directly acting on tumor cells or inducing tumor cell apoptosis.

(2) Hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects

Studies have shown that Tremella polysaccharides can regulate the activity of glucose metabolism enzymes, promote insulin secretion from pancreatic islets, inhibit gluconeogenesis, and promote the utilization of glucose by peripheral tissues, thereby achieving the effect of lowering blood sugar. Tremella polysaccharide can promote the elimination of cholesterol by binding and adsorbing lipids in the blood, blocking its circulation in the liver and intestines, and achieving the effect of reducing blood lipids.

(3) Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease

Studies have shown that Tremella polysaccharide can significantly prolong the formation time of thrombus, reduce platelet attachment rate and blood density, and achieve the effect of preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases.

(4) Anti-ulcer effect

Tremella polysaccharide can significantly inhibit the formation of stress-type gastric ulcer in rats, promote the healing of acetic acid-type gastric ulcer, and has no effect on gastric acid secretion and pepsin activity. The curative effect of tremella polysaccharide in the treatment of 124 cases of duodenal ulcer was observed, the recent effective rate was 98.6%, and the short-term healing rate was 79.03%.

(5) Anticoagulant, promote wound healing

Tremella polysaccharide can achieve anticoagulant effect by affecting the endogenous coagulation system and prolonging the partial thrombin time. In addition, Tremella polysaccharide has the effect of protecting the wound surface and preventing infection on the wound of the tested rats, and can make the wound proceed smoothly along the physiological repair pathway.

Application and Development of Tremella Polysaccharide in Food

Tremella polysaccharide, as a biologically active macromolecular substance, is widely used in food and can be used as food fortifier, anticoagulant, emulsifier, thickener, etc. For example, the instant white fungus red jujube soup developed with the good rehydration of Tremella polysaccharide, instant white fungus milk powder, instant white fungus bean milk powder and instant white fungus oatmeal; Biscuits, Tremella yogurt and Tremella jelly and other products. These products are all made of Tremella polysaccharide as raw material, and have certain health care functions made by special technology and processing methods.

What is lepidium meyenii used for？

Lepidium Meyenii also is called Maca, is a natural plant rich in high-unit nutrients and rich in 55 high-unit nutrients, protein, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements, etc. Therefore, Lepidium Meyenii root extract can fully regulate the body's functions, including the 9 major systems of the human body, more than 400 tissues and organs continue to provide high-quality nutrients. Previously, people’s overbearing of Lepidium Meyenii root extract led to many people’s misunderstanding of this product. However, the ability of Lepidium Meyenii extract to promote sexual function is not entirely a marketing routine. Among them, Macaene and Macaamide are considered to be Maca. One of the effective substances with promoting sexual function in the extract. Through experimental research on erectile latency and erectile dysfunction in mice and rats, it was found that Lepidium Meyenii root extract can improve the sexual function of experimental animals. In the perio...

What are the applications of supercritical CO2 extraction technology in plant extraction?

  Supercritical CO2 extraction technology has the advantages of energy saving, purity, rapidity, high efficiency, and simple operation because it combines rectification and liquid-liquid extraction, and plays an important role in the extraction and separation of effective components of traditional Chinese medicine. 1. Extraction of volatile oil The volatile oil is sensitive to high heat, acid, and alkali, and is easily destroyed when extracted by traditional steam distillation, with low efficiency. At present, there is much research literature on the application of supercritical carbon dioxide to extract volatile oil, and the yield of the obtained product is high and the integrity of the components can be maintained. The researchers used organic solvent extraction (SE), steam distillation extraction (SDE), and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SFE-CO2) to extract celery seed oil. The results showed that the celery seed oil obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction...

White button mushroom extract Benefits

Agaricus bisporus also called White button mushroom, It's widely distributed in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere, and it is a toadstool that grows on fermented manure. 100g fresh Agaricus bisporus contains about 3.7g protein, 0.2g fat, 3.0g sugar, 0.8g cellulose, 110mg phosphorus, 9mg calcium, and 0.6mg iron. White button mushroom extract contains more mannose, trehalose and various amino acids. The protein content of Agaricus bisporus is 35%-38%, and it contains 6 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body. It is also rich in vitamin B1 and vitamins. B2, vitamin PP, nucleoside acid, niacin, ascorbic acid and vitamin D, etc., its nutritional value is 4-12 times that of vegetables and fruits, and it is deeply favored by domestic and foreign markets. The tyrosinase contained in white button mushroom extract can significantly lower blood pressure. The quinone compounds of polysaccharides combine with sulfhydryl groups to inhibit the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic ac...
