Effects of Tween 80 on the liquid fermentation of Lentinus edodes

摘要

This paper explored the effects of Tween 80 on the biomass, intracellular polysaccharide (IPS) content, fermentation parameters, the pellets size of mycelium, and the antioxidant activity of IPS in Lentinus edodes liquid fermentation. With adding to Tween 80, the outputs of biomass and IPS increased during the L. edodes fermentation, respectively, while the reducing sugar content was decreased, as well as, the time courses of pH value were different. It was also shown that the addition of Tween 80 could protect the intact of pellets from breaking down. The effects of Tween 80 on the main structure of IPS were no obvious, and the IPS were revealed similar infrared spectrum, as was indicated by the infrared spectrum analysis. Improvements in the scavenging capacity of DPPH radicals of IPS were observed in Tween 80 treated group compared with the control group. Tween 80 exerts impacts on the liquid fermentation of L. edodes.
