This study was performed to determine the component analysis and measurements of antioxidant activities from natural seasoning containing Lentinus edodes powder (NSLP) in order to detect the biological activities and develop novel functional resources. It was extracted with 70% ethanol and then further fractionated to hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. Methods used in this experiment were measured to examine total polyphenol contents and total flavonoid contents, reducing power and Superoxide dismutase-like activity. Composition analysis were highly composed of carbohydrate as 44.1%. The minerals of different organics were highly composed of sodium as 5,073 mg/100g. There were seventeen total amino acids in NSLP. The glutamic acid content was high up to 16.9 mg/g and aspartic acid, lysine, leucine, alanine were followed. Predominant fatty acid was linoleic acid (62.7%) in NSLP. Contents of total polyphenols in butanol fraction from NSLP were 16.38 mg/100mL. While overall butanol fraction have higher reducing power than ethanol extract, after the addition of 400 ${\mu}g/mL$ butanol fraction, auto oxidation of pyrogallol decreased to 83.62% as a result of superoxide dismutase-like activity. A positive correlation was observed between total polyphenol, flavonoid and antioxidant activities.

Mast cells are crucial as effector cells in the immediate-type allergic reaction. Lentinus edodes has been the popular edible mushroom in oriental countries and reported to have immunomodulatory, anti-tumor, anti-atherogenic, anti-viral, and anti-allergic activities. However, the roles of L. edodes in mast cell-mediated anaphylactic reaction have not been fully elucidated. In this research, we have demonstrated the effects of the methanol extract of L. edodes (MELE) on mast cell-mediated anaphylaxis-like and anaphylactic reactions. MELE suppressed systemic anaphylaxis-like reaction, plasma histamine levels, and ear swelling response in mice treated with compound 48/80. MELE also suppressed passive systemic and cutaneous anaphylaxis mediated by anti-dinitrophenyl IgE. In accordance with these findings, MELE dose-dependently decreased histamine release from RPMC evoked by compound 48/80 or the antigen-antibody reaction. To clarify the mechanism of degranulation system, intracellular cAMP levels as well as calcium influx in RPMC was evaluated. In compound 48/80-treated RPMC, MELE blocked calcium uptake into the cells. In addition, MELE elevated the intracellular cAMP content and significantly attenuated compound 48/80-induced cAMP reduction in RPMC. Taken together, we propose the clinical use of MELE in mast cell-mediated immediate-type allergic diseases.

Isolates of the different species groups of Trichoderma from the mushroom culture beds were identified according to Rifai's classification and influence of antibiotics produced by them against the oyster mushroom was examined. Trichoderma islolates were identified as Trichoderma hamatum, Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma koningii. Among the Trichoderma isolates, fungistatic action of Trichoderma viride was found to be most remarkable. Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus sajor-caju were the most susceptable of the edible mushrooms tested, followed by Lentinus edodes, Flammulina velutipes and Auricularia auricula. A needle-shaped crystal gained from the chloroform extract of the culture filtrate of Trichoderma viride repressed distinctively the mycelial growth of the oyster mushroom. The grade of repression of the crystal at 500ppm and 1/10 aequ­ous solution of the chloroform extract against the oyster mushroom, seemed equal to that of cycloheximide at $100{\sim}200ppm$.

The carpophores of three Korean mushrooms, Coriolus versicolor, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Lentinus edodes were respectively extracted with hot water and the extract were dialyzed through Visking tube. They were found to contain an antinumor activity against sarcoma 180 implanted in mice. The components of these aqueous extracts were found to be polysaccharide and protein by color reactions including anthrone and Lowry-Folin tests. The hydrolysis of the polysaccharide with 3% HCI-MeOH and trimethylsilylation yielded four monosaccharides : glucose, mannose, galactose and xylose which were identified by G. L. C. After hydrolysis of protein with 6N HCL, fourteen to seventeen amino acids including aspartic and glutamic acids were detected by an amino acid analyzer.

The carpophores of three Korean mushrooms, Coriolus versicolor, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus edodes were respectively extracted with hot water and the extracts were dialyzed through Visking tube. They were found to exert an antitumor activity against sarcoma-180 implanted in mice. Especially, the inhibition ratio of the extract of Coriolus versicolor (100 mg/ Kg.i.p) was almost 100% . But all the extracts did not affect the growth of leukemia L517Y cells in vitro. Therefore these facts indicate that the extracts appear to stimulate cell-mediated immunity.

Lentinus edodes (LE) is the first medicinal macrofungus to enter the realm of modern biotechnology. Lentinus edodes is well-known to have anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. In this study, osteoporosis was induced by ovariectomy in female rats, and the prevention and treatment efficacy of the climacteric disease the postmenopausal type I pattern was examined using the experimental substance. Female rats were either sham-operated (sham; n = 5) or surgically ovariectomized (OVX; five animals per group) and then administered to OVX control, raloxifene hydrochloride 1 mg/kg/day, or LE (20 and 200 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks. LE treatment suppressed the ovariectomy-induced reduction of bone mineral density in the entire tibia as well as its metaphysis with a decrease of serum osteocalcin and interleukin-6 levels. In addition, LE is suggested to elevate the serum levels of progesterone hormones and prevent bone loss in ovariectomized rats. In conclusion, LE 200 mg/kg/day may have inhibitory effects on osteoporosis in OVX rats.

Carpophores of ten Korean strains of Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Singer, an antitumor polysaccharide producing fungus, were extracted with 0.1N NaOH solution. The extracts were dialized for seven days in distilled water and lyophilized to produce crude polysaccharide powders. Thus obtained crude polysaccharide samples were assayed for sugar contents by colorimetric method with anthrone reagent. Among ten strains examined Lentinus edododes-DMC7 was found to be the richest strain in polysaccharide content of carpophores. By shake culture experiment for biomass production, L. edodes-DMC7 was found to be the second most productive strain among seven strains examined. Cultural characteristics of L. edodes-DMC7 were investigated by shake culture method. The best result was obtained when L. edodes-DMC7 was cultured in the medium containing glucose 8g, starch 80g, yeast extract 12g, $KH_2PO_4\;0.87g,\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;O.5g,\;CaCl_2\;0.3g,\;FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;10mg\;ZnSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;4mg,\;CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O\;lmg,\;MnCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O\;7mg\;per\;11\;at\;28^{\circ}C$, 180 rpm, for 12 days. Thus thirty-three grams of dry mycelia was obtained per one liter of medium.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mycelia extracts of mushroom-cultured ginseng by-product on electron donating ability and proliferation of hepatic cancer cell (Hep3B) lines and sarcoma 180(S-180). The ginseng by-product was obtained from ginseng residues generated in processing of ginseng water extract. Mushroom strains used for preparation of mushroom mycelia cultured with ginseng residue were Phellinus linteus, Ganoderma lucidum, Coriolus versicolor and Lentinus edodes. The electron donating abilities of the test samples were increased in a dose-dependent manner in the range of 500ppm to 10,000ppm, and Coriolus versicolor extract showed the most potent activity among four mycelia extracts. In an anti-cancer test using Hep3B cells, ethanol extract showed higher antiproliferating effect than water extract. Ethanol extract of Lentinus edodes showed growth-inhibitory effect of 99.1% at 5,000ppm. All of mycelia extracts of mushroom showed the tumor suppressive effect in mice injected with S-180 cells. The growth­inhibitoy rates against tumor cells were 59% for Phellinus linteus, 61% for Ganoderma lucidum, 65% for Coriolus versicolor, 56% for Lentinus edodes. In conclusion, these results suggest that mycelia extracts of mushroom cultured with ginseng by-product have an antiproliferating effect against Hep3B cell and S-180 tumor cells.
