Abstract:

Beta-glucan (-glucan) is a macromolecule structure where glucose unit has bonded through-glycosidic bond at 1 and 3 positions. It is well known as a natural immunomodulator without exhibiting any side effects via enhancing immunity. Mushroom contains a large amount of-glucan and it has anticancerous and antioxidant efficacy. Structure and physical properties of-glucan are highly influenced by the types of mushroom. In particular,has-1, 3 and-1, 6 bonds in their structure. It has been noted that-glucan content also depends upon the size of mushroom particles. The exact content of-glucan and their immunological activity by a particle size ofhave yet to be fully elucidated. Herein,-glucan contents were analyzed according to the particle size of leaf mushroom followed by cell activation and immunoactivity analysis. The highest-glucan content was observed at a particle size of 20-30m (27.65± 0.30 w/w). All samples showed ~ 103% cell activation compared to the control and greater cell activity was observed at higher concentration. The significant increase in cytokines secretion was observed in the presence of 20-30m particle size ofcompared to the control. This study suggested that 20-30m size is the suitable size ofthat can be used as a health supplement and food additive to act as an immune booster, hypotensive agent, and hypoglycemic agent.
