Lentinan Introduction
Lentinan is a polysaccharide isolated from the fruit body of shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes mycelium).Lentinan is a β-1,3 beta-glucan with β-1,6 branching. It has a molecular weight of 500,000 Da and specific rotation of +14-22° (NaOH).
An in vitro experiment showed lentinan stimulated production of white blood cells in the human cell line U937.Lentinan is thought to be inactive in humans when given orally and is therefore administered intravenously. The authors of an in vivo study of lentinan suggested that the compound may be active when administered orally in mice.

Lentinan Function
Anti-Tumor Activity: Lentinan exerts anti-tumor effects by stimulating the immune system without directly causing cytotoxicity to tumor cells.
Immune Regulation: Lentinan enhances immune system function, boosting the body's resistance to diseases.
Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Lentinan protects the host from oxidative damage.
Antibacterial Effects: Lentinan induces antimicrobial activity and stimulates the immune system in vitro.
Metabolic Regulation: Lentinan has a protective effect on pancreatic β-cell apoptosis and dysfunction. It can inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exert anti-apoptotic effects by preventing JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.
Lentinan Application
●Pharmaceutical field: pharmaceutical raw materials. Shiitake Mushroom Powder can be used in the production of anti-tumor drugs, various cholesterol-lowering drugs and anti-cold drugs.
●Cosmetics field: due to the special aromatic smell of mushrooms, various types of mushroom essential oil and cosmetics can be made.
●Food field: As the main ingredient or additive of food to make various fungus foods, dried shiitake mushroom powder can also be used as a condiment raw material.
