A study about microwave-assisted extraction of polysaccharides form medicinal mushrooms Fomitopsis ulmaria (Sor.: For.) Bond, et Sing

摘要

Polysaccharides are main bioactive compounds of Fomitopsis ulmaria (Sor.: For.) Bond, et Sing (F. ulmaria). In this study, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method was employed for the extraction of polysaccharides form F. ulmaria (PFU). The important extraction parameters that influenced the extraction yield of PFU were optimized by employing an orthogonal design, including solvent/material ratio, microwave power, and extraction time. The results showed that the optimum extraction conditions were as followings: solvent/material ratio of 40:1 ml/g, microwave power of 400 W, and extraction time of 2.5 min. Under optimized conditions, the extraction yield of PFU was 8.36%. This work is expected to provide a scientific reference for the further research and industrial production of F. ulmaria.
