The role and eating method of mushrooms, mushrooms are a kind of food often eaten in life. They can be used to cook soup or stir-fry dishes, but they are usually cooked with other ingredients. Mushrooms have unique fragrance and rich nutrition, so what is the function of mushrooms? What are the ways to eat?

Functions and Edible Methods of Lentinus edodes 1 Antitumor Effect of Lentinus edodes

Lentinus edodes contains many effective medicinal components, especially lentinan (LNT) which has certain anti-tumor effect. LNT was isolated from Chihara, Japan in 1969, and proved to have obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of S- 180 sarcoma in mice. Since then, many scholars at home and abroad have done a lot of in-depth and diversified research on the anti-tumor effect of LNT. U.S. patent 1984 reports an anticancer glycoprotein with xylose as the main component, which can be obtained from the mushroom mycelium culture cultured in a solid medium rich in xylose. Ou Huichun isolated a glycoprotein from the solid culture of Lentinus edodes in China, and its anti-sarcoma effect of 180 was 0/0 times better than that of mitomycin/kloc-0 [6]. After 1980s, LNT, Yao Yang and others conducted a lot of pharmacological and clinical trials, and 80 cases of advanced malignant tumor were treated with combined chemotherapy. The results showed that the effective rate of 43 cases combined with lentinan was 55.865438 0%, while the effective rate of 37 cases combined with chemotherapy alone was only 35.65438 04% in the control group without lentinan. There was a significant difference between the two groups [7]. In the field of hematological tumor research, Xie Xiaopeng and others used lentinan combined with leukemia chemotherapy, which reduced the negative reaction of chemotherapy and improved the complete remission rate [8]. A large number of experiments show that lentinan is mainly used as an adjuvant drug to participate in tumor treatment, which can inhibit and prevent postoperative micrometastasis of chronic myeloid leukemia and various cancers. This effect is indirectly toxic to cancer cells through human immunity, which is especially suitable for physical rehabilitation after illness. Compared with other anti-tumor drugs, LNT has almost no side effects.

Lentinus edodes enhances immunity

According to the research, lentinan can activate macrophages, enhance the phagocytosis of macrophages, increase the infiltration of neutrophils into tumor lymph nodes, and promote the recovery of host imbalance caused by cancer and infection. Lentinan can also improve lymphocyte transformation rate and enhance the anti-tumor ability of the body. After intraperitoneal injection of lentinan 16 days, the activities of acid phosphatase (ACP) and arginase in peritoneal macrophages of mice increased significantly, and the ability to damage tumor cells and the inhibitory effect on tumor cell proliferation were significantly enhanced [9]. Dong Pujiang et al. studied the effects of immunosuppressive factors produced by A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and lentinan on T cell transformation, and found that T cell transformation was inhibited by immunosuppressive factors, and the degree of inhibition was positively correlated with the depth of immunosuppressive factors, and appropriate concentration of lentinan could effectively antagonize this inhibitory effect [10]. Zhou et al. found that lentinan can promote the production of hemolysin antibody in spleen cells of immunocompromised mice induced by cyclophosphamide, and also promote the proliferation of lymphocytes induced by cyclophosphamide, increase the number of spleen antibody secreting cells and the formation of spleen specific secreting cells [1 1]. It is reported abroad that lentinan can activate T lymphocytes and promote many immature T cells to differentiate into mature T cells [12]. At present, lentinan is considered to be the most active restorer and immune enhancer of T cells involved by macrophages at home and abroad.

Lentinus edodes reduces blood lipid and thrombi.

It is found that lentinan and lentinan can promote cholesterol metabolism and reduce its content in serum, which has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and hypertension. Mushrooms are rich in vitamins, which can reduce blood lipid and increase coronary blood flow, and also have good preventive and therapeutic effects on hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Japanese scholars reported that after eating 90g fresh mushrooms (or 9g dried mushrooms) every day, human serum cholesterol decreased by 6% ~ 12% on average after one week, so mushrooms became health food for patients with hypertension.

Protective effect of Lentinus edodes on liver

According to research, Lentinus edodes has certain curative effect on acute and chronic liver diseases such as viral hepatitis, infectious hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Lentinus edodes polysaccharide has the functions of protecting liver, enhancing detoxification ability and reducing serum transaminase. Shi Yali and others revealed through the exhaustive experimental model of mice that lentinan can obviously alleviate the liver injury caused by CCl4 and other chemicals, stimulate partial liver regeneration in hepatectomy mice, and resist various toxins. At the same time, lentinan supplementation can increase the content of hepatic glycogen and protect the liver.

In a word, Lentinus edodes not only has a good effect on treating liver disease and cancer, but also can effectively reduce blood lipid and enhance human immunity. Thus effectively improving people's physique, therefore, it is praised as "health food" by the medical community, and some people call it "functional food". With the rapid development of economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the international and domestic markets of Lentinus edodes will expand day by day, and the demand for Lentinus edodes and its processed products and health care products will increase rapidly, with attractive prospects for Lentinus edodes products.

The function and edible method of Lentinus edodes 2 1. What is the function of mushrooms?

Mushrooms are cold and slightly bitter, and enter the liver and stomach meridians. It has the effects of preserving health, benefiting stomach and helping food, and has a conditioning effect on deficiency constitution such as deficiency of qi and blood, fatigue and intolerance. Therefore, it can regulate qi and blood deficiency.

In addition, when picking mushrooms, we should pay attention to three points: first, it is best to look round, thick, curled down and 3-6 cm in diameter; Second, it is best to look at the folds of mushrooms, which are regular, non-sticky and not moldy; Third, the stalks are short and thick, uniform in size and hard in hand; If you touch it, it will be wet, sticky and slippery, or it will break when you press it with your hand. It's a stale mushroom. Don't buy it.

2. What are the practices of mushrooms?

Mushrooms are widely used as side dishes of meat. Let's introduce it below:

Mushroom chicken soup

Ingredients: 50g of dried mushrooms, 0/00g of chicken/kloc-,sesame oil, canned corn soup and salt.

Practice: Cut the chicken into pieces, soak the mushrooms in warm water until soft, then slice them, put some water in the pot, add canned corn and corn soup, bring them to a boil over high fire, add minced chicken and sliced mushrooms after about 10 minutes, and add sesame oil and salt to taste after cooking for about 5 minutes.

Efficacy: invigorating stomach and benefiting middle qi.

Mushroom chicken
