In order to develop biodegradable phase change materials (PCMs) with high latent heat for cold chain logistics, superabsorbent resin (SAR) was prepared based on starch graft copolymerization. FTIR and DSC demonstrated that acrylic acid was successfully grafted onto starches and optimum latent heat of PCM was 330.4 J/g with 10% (w/w) starch. The water retention of PCM with 10% (w/w) starch was 0.49 after heating at 50 °C for 200 h, which was 4.9 folds higher than that of non-starch PCM. Biodegradation rate of PCM was 60.12% within 75-day burial, which was 6 folds higher than that of non-starch PCM. Moreover, significant reduction in browning index, odor, decay, relative conductivity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content was observed in Lentinus edodes treated by biodegradable PCM. These results indicated that the application of biodegradable PCM could extend the shelf life of fresh L. edodes stored at 25 °C.

Lentinus edodes is widely cultivated and utilized globally, and Lentinus edodes polysaccharides (LEPs) are recognized as its primary bioactive components. However, the influence of regional variations LEPs has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the differences in the and activity of LEPs from various sources following simulated in vitro digestion, as well as their impact on gut microbes. Our work demonstrated that while the three LEPs were partially digested during digestion progress, yet their structural integrity remained largely unchanged. These LEPs exhibited variations in the monosaccharide molar ratios and molecular weights (Mw), which contributed to differences in their biological activities. Furthermore, the three LEPs were found to promote the growth of Megasphaera and Bacteroides and enhance the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Finally, we investigated the correlations between monosaccharide composition, SCFAs, and the growth of gut microbes. Taken together, these results provide important insights into the regional characteristics of LEPs, supporting their personalized application in various contexts.

To clarify the changes in the aroma characteristics of shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes) during hot-air drying, volatile compounds ofL. edodeswere analyzed using sensory evaluation, electronic nose, and purge and trap combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (PT-GC-MS) at different timepoints of the drying process. Results showed that the sensory and volatile profile changed significantly during the drying process at 60 °C for up to 12 h and the drying process could be divided into three stages: early stage (<2 h), middle stage (2–3.5 h) and late stage (>3.5 h). Volatile compounds in freshL. edodesconsisted mainly of ketones and alcohols. The early stage of drying decreased the concentration of ketone and alcohol compounds and promoted the generation of cyclic organosulfur compounds through a series of enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions, which mainly contribute to the characteristic odor of shiitake mushroom. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) showed that the volatile compounds released after different drying times could be divided into four groups, which have been confirmed by sensory evaluation results. The results suggested that the unique flavor of dried mushrooms is mainly due to the activation of enzymes during the drying process, which act on lentinic acid to produce sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. We believe that our study makes a potential contribution to the mushroom cultivation and processing industry to achieve an improvement in sensory quality.Keywords:volatile compounds;electronic nose;PT-GC-MS;fingerprinting;Shiitake mushroom

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the world, and therapies with safety are in great need. In this study, the β-glucan isolated from Lentinus edodes was successfully fractionated into three fractions with different weight-average molecular weight ( M w ) by ultrasonic degradation and used for the treatment of colorectal cancer. In our findings, the β-glucan was successfully degraded with the M w decreased from 2.56 × 10 6 Da to 1.41 × 10 6 Da, exhibiting the triple helix structure without conformation disruption. The in vitro results indicate that β-glucan fractions inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation , induced colon cancer cell apoptosis, and reduced inflammation. The in vivo results based on Azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) mouse model demonstrate that the lower-molecular weight β-glucan fraction showed stronger anti-inflammatory and anti-colon cancer activities by reconstructing intestinal mucosal barrier, increasing short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) content, regulating metabolism of gut microbiota , and rebuilding the gut microbiota structure with the increased Bacteroides and the decreased Proteobacteria at the phylum level, as well as with the decreased Helicobacter and the increased Muribaculum at the genus level. These findings provide scientific basis for using the β-glucan to regulate gut microbiota as an alternative strategy in the clinical treatment of colon cancer.

Cooking methods affect the compositions ofLentinus edodesmetabolites. Nevertheless, little information is available on the specific impact of different cooking methods onLentinus edodesvia metabolomic analysis. This study determined the influence of boiling, steaming, air-frying, and roasting on the metabolomic profiles ofLentinus edodesbased on UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS in combination with chemometrics. A total of 990 metabolites were detected and classified into 11 super-classes. Subsequently, the metabolites of the four cooking methods were distinguished using multivariate statistical analysis. The results showed that boiling caused a massive loss of metabolites while roasting and air-frying led to an evident upregulation. The upregulation of metabolites in the steaming groups was not as significant as in roasting and air-frying. This study provided reference data for a comprehensive understanding of the metabolites associated with domestic cooking methods and valuable guidance for the development ofLentinus edodesand its products in the future.Keywords:cooking methods;untargeted metabolomics;chemometrics;Lentinus edodes;Shiitake

Lentinus β-glucan (LBG) could directly interact with the human colon cancer cells. • PRSS3 was identified as the potential target of LBG. • LBG inhibits colon cancer cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis by targeting PRSS3. Lentinus β-glucan (LBG), an edible dietary fiber, has promising anticancer potential. However, the anticancer mechanism remains poorly understood. Herein, we focus on the anti-colon cancer mechanism of four LBGs with different molecular weights. As a result, LBGs could directly interact with the human colon cancer cells and were even ingested into cells. Mass spectrometry results reveal that the protein interacting with LBGs was most likely PRSS3. Molecular docking simulation further confirmed LBGs interacted with PRSS3 through hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions. In vitro results demonstrate that LBGs down-regulated PRSS3 expression in colon carcinoma cells, as well as decreased cell viability. Meanwhile, in vivo studies reveal that LBGs targeted the carcinogenic promoter of PRSS3, leading to cancer cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis promotion. This study provides new insights that LBG can be used for clinical colon cancer treatment as a PRSS3 inhibitor without system toxicity.

A method for simultaneously separating six arsenic (As) species was established by ultrasound-assisted extraction-anion exchange chromatography coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Six As species could be well separated within 15 min when 0.3 M acetic acid and 25 mM NH 4 H 2 PO 4 were used as the extraction solvent and mobile phase, respectively. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detection and recovery of As species and the relative standard deviation were in the ranges of 0.31–0.59 μg/L, 94.30–102.75%, and 1.63–3.72%, respectively. Furthermore, the established method was successfully applied to fresh Shiitake ( Lentinus edodes ) mushrooms and processed products. The inorganic As contents of all samples ranged from 0.204 to 0.500 mg/kg, half of samples (>0.400 mg/kg) were close to the maximum contaminant level allowed by the Chinese (0.5 mg/kg). The health risk index estimation results indicated that no particular risk of As exposure to Chinese consumers existed in L. edodes .

Lentinus edodes, whose polysaccharides possess diverse bioactivities, commonly grows on hardwood sawdust composed of hemicellulose, lignin and cellulose. In this study the effect of hemicellulose and lignin on the growth of mycelia, as well as the physicochemical properties of polysaccharides fromL. edodesmycelia (LEPs) were investigated. The antioxidant properties of LEPs were evaluated through radical scavenging assays in vitro and through theCaenorhabditis elegansmodel in vivo. The results showed that hemicellulose at a concentration of 4% increased the yield of the mycelia biomass to twice that of the control group. Meanwhile, when cultured with 4.0% hemicellulose, the polysaccharide content of the mycelia was raised by 112.2%. In addition, the appropriate concentration of lignin could stimulate mycelia growth and polysaccharide biosynthesis inL. edodes. Monosaccharide composition analysis showed that a higher content of xylose was found when mycelia were cultured with higher concentrations of hemicellulose. The molecular structure, including the molecular weight distribution and configuration type, was affected by hemicellulose and lignin. Antioxidant assays indicated that LEPs supplemented with hemicellulose and/or lignin possessed higher radical scavenging abilities in vitro and exhibited a thermal resistance effect onC. elegans, implying that the antioxidant effect is potent in vivo. In summary, the addition of hemicellulose and lignin improved the biosynthesis and bioactivity of LEPs.Keywords:Lentinus edodes;polysaccharide;hemicellulose;lignin;antioxidant activity;Caenorhabditis elegans

Polysaccharides exhibit multiple pharmacological activities, which are closely related to their structural characteristics. Therefore, quantitative quality control of polysaccharides based on chemical properties is of importance for their applications. However, polysaccharides are mixed macromolecular compounds that are difficult to separate, and the lack of standards made direct quantification more difficult. In this study, we proposed a new quantitative method based on the released specific oligosaccharides for polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes (shiitake) and other related fungi. Specific oligosaccharides were firstly released from polysaccharides using 1,3- β -glucanase, then derivatized with 2-aminobenzamide (2-AB), which further separated by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) and quantitatively determined by UPLC coupled with fluorescence detector (FLR). Laminaritriose was used as the universal standard for quantification of all the oligosaccharides. This method was validated according to linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, precision, accuracy, repeatability and stability. In addition, the four specific oligosaccharides released from polysaccharides in L. edodes were qualitatively analyzed by extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) from UPLC-MS profiles, which were identified to be disaccharide , trisaccharide and tetrasccharide. The proposed strategy not only realized the quantitative analysis of polysaccharides by UPLC-FLR, but also could achieve the qualitative distinction of different polysaccharides.

In the present study, subcritical water extraction (SWE) assisted with deep eutectic solvent (DES) is used to extractLentinus edodespolysaccharides (LEP). In addition, the antioxidant activity of the polysaccharide samples was also investigated. Based on a single factor test and response surface test, the optimal extraction factors were a liquid–solid solvent of 40:1 mL/g, extraction temperature of 147.23 °C, water content of 39.76% and extraction time of 17.58 min. Under these extraction conditions, the yield of LEP was 6.26 ± 0.08%. Compared with the SWE and hot water extraction (HWE), it improved by 19.24% and 17.01%, respectively. In addition, the results of monosaccharide composition, molecular weight, FT-IR, UV and SEM confirmed that the extracts had the features of polysaccharides. Interestingly, the polysaccharides obtained with the SWE assisted with the DES procedure showed a higher DPPH scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, which indicated that the polysaccharides with this method had a stronger antioxidant activity. These findings demonstrated that the SWE-assisted DES is a strong method to obtain polysaccharides fromLentinus edodesfor food, biopharmaceutical and other industrial production.Keywords:subcritical water;deep eutectic solvent;response surface;structure;antioxidant activities

Fresh shiitake ( Lentinus edodes ) is prone to brown, pileus-opening and flavor-loss during storage. Therefore, it is important to find an effective preservation method for fresh shiitake. Negative air ions (NAI) are negatively-charged molecules or atoms in the air, and can affect the physiological metabolism of live cells and be conveniently used with low cost. In this study, NAI treatment was performed at different times and the physico-chemical characteristics, microstructure, membrane potential and energy metabolism of shiitake were determined during storage. Results showed that NAI treatment for 40 min could reduce 29% of browning index and maintain the hardness of shiitake. NAI treatment groups had higher content of sweetness amino acids, umami amino acids, 5′-IMP, eight-carbon alcohols compounds and cyclic sulfides compounds than the control, and comprehensive quality of the group being treated for 40 min was the best. The mitochondria of shiitake swelled and the membrane potential decreased after being treated by NAI. However, NAI treatment for 40 min could improve the contents of ATP and ADP, maintain a relatively stable energy charge level, and promote energy utilization of shiitake during storage. The results demonstrated that NAI treatment had the potential to improve the quality shiitake during storage.

The effect of oxyresveratrol on postharvest quality and membrane lipid metabolism of shiitake mushroom was investigated. The result exhibited that oxyresveratrol retarded browning, maintained firmness and alleviated occurrence of decay of shiitake mushroom. The oxidation and hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids were suppressed by oxyresveratrol treatment, which was associated with reduced LOX and PLD activities and increased SOD and CAT activities. The membrane lipidomics of shiitake mushroom was determined by LC-MS. 385 lipid species and 13 fatty acids in membrane lipids were identified by multiple reaction monitoring method. Compared with control group, the phospholipic acid and lysophospholipid reduced by 29.24% and 21.29% in oxyresveratrol-treated group, respectively, which alleviated hydrolysis of phospholipid. Meanwhile, oxyresveratrol maintained the unsaturation of fatty acids and alleviated oxidation of phospholipid. These results demonstrated that oxyresveratrol could play a dual role of inhibiting the oxidation and hydrolysis of phospholipids to mitigate cellular damage of shiitake mushroom.
