Pleurotus eryngii (DC. ex Fr.) Quel has been collected from the wild, cultivated and used in traditional medicines to treat various disorders and diseases since antiquity. In ...
Immunoregulatory role of Pleurotus eryngii superfine powder through intercellular communication of cytokines
(Taylor and Francis, 2013)
Abstract
Pleurotus eryngii, also known as thistle mushroom, is rich in proteins, dietary fibre and polysaccharides. It has been developed as a functional food due to its antioxidant, anti-fatigue, anti-viral and anti-tumour ...
Physicochemical and Antimicrobial Properties of Post-Synthesis Betanin and Chitosan Oligosaccharide functionalized Silver Nanoparticles
(Springer, 2020)
Size uniformity and defined surface coating are important parameters for the biological properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Green synthesis uses biomolecules either in pure form or plant extracts as both reductants ...
Broad diversity of simian immunodeficiency virus infecting Chlorocebus species (African green monkey) and evidence of cross-species infection in Papio anubis (olive baboon) in Kenya
(Wiley, 2020)
Background: Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) naturally infects African non-human primates (NHPs) and poses a threat of transmission to humans through hunting and consumption of monkeys as bushmeat. This study investigated ...
Effects of ferulic acid on the polymerization behavior of gluten protein and its components
(Elsevier, 2023)
The effects of ferulic acid (FA) at different concentrations on the aggregation behaviors of gluten and its components (gliadin and glutenin) were determined in this study. Results showed that the free sulfhydryl content ...

(Food Science and Human Wellness, 2023-11-03)
Natural polysaccharides named PEP-0.1-1, PEP-0-1 and PEP-0-2 from edible mushroom species
Pleurotus eryngii were obtained in the present study. Results showed that molecular weights of these polysaccharides were 3235 kDa, ...
Prediction of moisture content of Agaricus bisporus slices as affected by vacuum freeze drying using hyperspectral imaging
(Elsevier, 2024-01-03)
Moisture content (MC) is a crucial indicator used for assessing the degree of freeze-drying (FD) of Agaricus bisporus. This study illustrated a novel approach to quickly and visually detect MC in A. bisporus during FD using ...
