Abstract
Cordyceps militaris, a medicinal fungus rich in cordycepin, shows promise in treating diseases like cancer, respiratory issues, and COVID-19. This study examines the impact of different Taiwanese rice varieties on its solid-state fermentation, focusing on optimizing cordycepin production. The results indicated that the cordycepin yield was indeed affected by the type of rice used. In terms of the fruiting bodies, germ rice resulted in the highest yield (13.1±0.36 mg/g), followed by brown rice (11.9±0.26 mg/g). In the rice culture medium (RCM), brown rice led to the highest yield (4.77±0.06 mg/g). Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and untargeted metabolomics, the study identifies four key volatile components linked to cordycepin, providing insights into developing functional rice porridge products. These findings are significant for advancing cordycepin mass production and offering dietary options for older individuals.
期刊介绍:
The rapid growth of interest in medicinal mushrooms research is matched by the large number of disparate groups that currently publish in a wide range of publications. The International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms is the one source of information that will draw together all aspects of this exciting and expanding field - a source that will keep you up to date with the latest issues and practice. The International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms published original research articles and critical reviews on a broad range of subjects pertaining to medicinal mushrooms, including systematics, nomenclature, taxonomy, morphology, medicinal value, biotechnology, and much more.
