Improved methods of mycelial culture of Phellinus linteus KCTC 10055BP for increasing anti-oxidanic effects

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for culturing the mycelia of Phellinus linteus using a culture medium of Crataegi fructus or Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge is provided. Therefore the cultured mycelia exhibit 3 to 21 times increased synergistic effect on antioxidation and anti-aging as compared to conventional mycelia. CONSTITUTION: Crataegi fructus or Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge is extracted in water or ethanol for 1 to 2hr. The extract is filtered with filter paper, concentrated under reduced pressure and freeze-dried. Thereafter, Phellinus linteus is cultured in a culture medium containing 0.01 to 5% by weight of the Crataegi fructus or Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge extract for 15 days.
