Measuring β-Glucan in Mushrooms by Hoàng Vinh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A reliable method for measuring β-glucan in mushrooms and mycelial products has been developed, utilizing controlled acid hydrolysis with H2SO4 and specific enzymatic assays. The study highlights the differences in β-glucan structures between mushrooms and cereals and emphasizes the challenges in achieving complete enzymatic hydrolysis due to complex linkages. The findings are significant for the nutritional supplement industry, particularly regarding the identity and purity of medicinal mushroom products.
