Ganoderma lucidum

Inquiry

Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) is a polypore fungus that grows on coniferous and broadleaf trees with large annual basidiomycetes and is a trendy medicinal plant. It has long been widely used in several countries as a tonic and as an adjunctive treatment for a variety of ailments, including chronic liver disease, hypertension, neurasthenia, insomnia, bronchitis, gastric ulcers, diabetes, and cancer. It can also be grown artificially and has a growing market.

Lifeasible can help you re-evaluate the effects of reishi to ensure its efficacy and safety through our proven analytical and testing platform. This will enable you to develop it into new and high-export value products related to dietary supplements and new medicines as soon as possible.

What We Offer

Determination of polysaccharide composition

Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP) is a mixture of peptidoglycan, glucan, heteropolysaccharide, and other polysaccharides homogeneous, which is one of the main active ingredients of reishi.

We provide you with extraction methods such as hot water leaching, aqueous alcohol precipitation, ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction, supercritical extraction, and so on. We provide you with various analytical methods such as sulfuric acid-anthraquinone, phenol-sulfuric acid, salicylic acid, CE, HPLC, GC, IR, MS, NMR, and so on. For the molecular weight determination of polysaccharides, we can provide gel column chromatography, ultracentrifugation to measure the sedimentation coefficient, and other methods.

Determination of triterpenoid composition

Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids (GLTs) are one of the main components of reishi, and more than 100 triterpenoids have been isolated from various reishi. GLTs have been found to possess pharmacological activities such as hepatoprotective, anti-hypertensive, and anti-tumor.

The extraction methods we can provide include ultrasonic-assisted extraction, organic solvent extraction by leaching, supercritical CO₂ extraction, and extraction by separation with macroporous resin. The purification techniques we can offer you include adsorption chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. We can provide testing methods such as TLC, UV, HPLC, CE, etc.

Determination of sterol components

Sterol components in reishi are active substances extracted from its fat-soluble isolate in high content. Sterol components have strong anti-infective effects on the human body and are effective in preventing and treating coronary atherosclerosis-type heart disease, ulcers, and cervical cancer.

We can provide high-speed shear flash extraction technology from Reishi to extract total sterols for you. We can also analyze the total sterol extract from reishi using GC-MS. If required, we can also optimize the extraction process through one-way and response surface experiments to reduce the extraction time and temperature so that your current process is more suitable for extracting sterols from reishi.

Determination of nucleoside components

Nucleoside components in reishi are a class of water-soluble components with a wide range of physiological activities, mainly anticoagulant, coronary artery dilatation, relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, and other effects.

We can provide capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry to determine nucleosides in reishi.

Determination of amino acid composition

Amino acids in reishi are characterized by a wide variety, high content, high activity, and easy absorption by the body, and have strong anti-tumor activity in synergy with GLP.

We provide a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet absorption method to help you determine the amino acid content in reishi.

Trace element determination

There are many kinds of trace elements in reishi, and the main methods we provide for analyzing trace elements in reishi are ashing, thermal analysis, incomplete digestion, microwave digestion, proton excitation X-ray analysis, neutron activation, X-ray fluorescence analysis, and so on. Our detection methods mainly include atomic absorption spectrophotometry and atomic fluorescence spectrometry.

If you need support in reishi multi-omics analysis, strain identification, cultivation, fermentation, spore oil preparation, deep processing product development, etc., please feel free to contact Lifeasible; we are always ready to provide you with comprehensive and professional services and technical support.
