Description

  Edible mushrooms, poisonous mushrooms, ornamental mushrooms and medicinal mushrooms are widely used as herbal medicines. Recently, edible mushrooms have attracted attention because they have nutritional characteristics, taste characteristics, and physiological characteristics. Already, it has been confirmed that many mushrooms have polysaccharides showing antitumor activity. This antitumor effect is not directly attacked and destroyed by cancer cells, but is considered to be due to a kind of substance BRM having the property of enhancing the immunostimulatory function of normal cells. In addition to immunostimulatory functions, mushrooms have homeostasis, regulation of physical rhythm, disease recovery, prevention and improvement of lifestyle-related diseases, and blood purification. Mushrooms also contain a lot of nutrients necessary for the human body such as alkaline proteins composed of free amino acids such as lysine, methionine, leucine, and alanine, vitamins B1, B2, niacin, polysaccharides, minerals (especially magnesium). It also has dietary nutritional characteristics.

  As for the immunity of the mushroom (Mycena chlorophos), when the mushroom and miscellaneous bacteria were simultaneously inoculated on the agar medium and cultured at 28 ° C., a transparent immune barrier ring was formed around the mushroom mycelium colony, and the mushroom colony was formed into the mushroom mycelium. Since the body colony could not be invaded, and then the miscellaneous colony and the present mushroom mycelium colony did not overlap, the strength of the immunity was confirmed. Moreover, the luminescence reaction of the mushroom is characteristic compared to that of other luminescent organisms. The luminescence of fireflies and oyster jellyfish is as short as a few seconds to several minutes, but the luminescence of mushrooms is continuous for several days, and the luminescent substance that emits very green light is ingested in combination with other nutrients. Thus, there is a possibility of creating new multifunctional health foods, but the number of mushrooms in the country of origin has become an issue. However, this mushroom cultivation method of Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-292606 has enabled mass production of this mushroom regardless of location, time and quantity.

However, there are many technical problems in recovering the luminescent material so that it does not inactivate or decompose even if it has the effect of supplementing nutritional components as health food.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-292606

  Mushrooms are very interesting not only as ornamental mushrooms but also as immunity and nutritional components as health foods, and the luminescence reaction is characteristic compared to those of other luminescent organisms. However, the luminescence mechanism has not been elucidated, and the extraction of luminescent substances has been very difficult and difficult. Therefore, it has been a challenge to increase the recovery rate so that the luminescent material is not inactivated or decomposed.

  The luminescence mechanism of the mushroom has not been elucidated in detail, but the non-luminescent fruiting body is not used, and only the luminescent part of the luminescent fruiting body is pulverized by the constant temperature drying method, vacuum drying method, vacuum freeze drying method As a result, it was possible to confirm and recover that the luminescent substance did not inactivate or decompose by a simple method.

  According to the production method of the present invention, nutritional components and luminescent substances as health food can be recovered so as not to be inactivated or decomposed, and can be provided in large quantities at a low cost.

  Next, the method for carrying out the present invention and the experimental results thereof will be described as examples, but the present invention is not limited to these.

In the present invention, only 100 g of the light emitting part of the fruiting body of the mushroom that is generated by the method of cultivating luminescent mushrooms of Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-292606 is collected, dehydrated without heat decomposition in vacuum and low temperature, dried and powdered. It was possible to recover the luminescent material after confirming that it was not inactivated or decomposed by a simple method.
Collect 100g of light emitting umbrellas and light emitting parts of pleats with tweezers and freeze-dry them in a vacuum freeze dryer at a trap cooling temperature of -40 ° C and a trap dehumidification capacity of 1L / time. The powder was pulverized by a mill. 10 g of the powdered product could be visually observed for luminescence by adding 1 ml of pure water in a dark room. From this, it was confirmed that the luminescent material could be recovered without inactivation or decomposition. After the luminescence reaction test, 100 g of the powder was subjected to nutritional basic component analysis. As a result of analysis, 2.3 g of protein, 0.3 g of lipid, 5.4 g of carbohydrate, 80 mg of phosphorus, 360 mg of potassium, and 9.5 mg of niacin could be detected. In addition, when 50 g of mycelia inoculated so as to float on a malt liquid medium in which 25 g of malt extract was dissolved in 1 L of pure water and cultivated by standing was pulverized by vacuum lyophilization, analysis was conducted. Was detected.

  Mushrooms have both nutritional and physiological characteristics. Already, it has been confirmed that this mushroom has a polysaccharide exhibiting antitumor activity, and its nutritional component utility as a health food is very interesting, and it is superior to Agaricus, Shiitake and Mannentake already marketed as health foods. It is a nutritional supplement that is not inferior. Moreover, the luminescent reaction is characteristic compared to that of other luminescent organisms. Therefore, there is a possibility of creating a new multifunctional health food by taking the luminescent substance in combination with other nutritional components.
