  1. Pharmaceutical Research
    • Investigated for potential anti-tumor effects (via immune modulation) and supporting chemotherapy recovery
    • Studied for managing metabolic conditions (e.g., blood sugar regulation with Maitake)
  1. Animal Feed
    • Added to pet food and livestock feed to enhance immune health and reduce disease risk

Detection Methods

  • HPLC: For polysaccharide analysis, Column: Amino Column, Mobile Phase: Acetonitrile – Water (80:20), Flow Rate: 1.0 mL/min, Detector: Refractive Index Detector
  • UV-Vis Spectroscopy: For beta-glucan quantification using sulfuric acid – anthrone colorimetry at 620 nm
