Polysaccharides extracted from fruiting body and mycelia of higher fungi have been found to show various biological activities. Traditionally, these polysaccharides are manufactured by the hot water extraction method. Low polysaccharide yield is the disadvantage of this method. This paper reports the optimal conditions to manufacture polysaccharide with high-yield from Hypsizigus marmoreus mycelia using enzymatic hydrolytic extraction method. Neutral protease was selected as the most cost efficient among six enzymes. The uniform design was further conducted to optimize the enzymatic hydrolytic extraction conditions, and a regression model was constructed to predict polysaccharide yield. The optimized procedures was that 2% (w/w) of neutral protease was added into hydrolytic solution and incubated for 4 h at 43°C, then extracted one time at 100°C for 1 h. Under optimized procedures, the measured polysaccharide yield was 15.73±0.15 (mg/g), which was very close to the predicted value of 16.65 (mg/g). The results validated the accuracy of the regression model and the optimized procedure. When following the optimized procedures, polysaccharide yield was raised 75.0% over that before optimization, and increased by 122.5% and 104.8% over hot-water extraction and microwave assisted extraction methods respectively. This was the first study to apply uniform design for optimizing high yield manufacture of mycelia polysaccharides by enzymatic hydrolytic extraction. We concluded that enzymatic hydrolytic extraction was a simple, high yield method to manufacture polysaccharides from mushroom mycelia and might be used widely in polysaccharide-derived functional foods production.

Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench (okra) is a commonly consumed vegetable that consists of the seeds and peel component which are rich in polyphenolic compounds. The aim of this study is to utilize pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) for the extraction of bioactive phytochemicals from different parts of okra. A single step PHWE was performed at various temperatures (60 °C, 80 °C, 100 °C and 120 °C) to determine which extraction temperature exhibits the optimum phytochemical profile, antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. The optimum temperature for PHWE extraction was determined at 80 °C and the biological activities of the different parts of okra (Inner Skin, Outer Skin and Seeds) were characterized using antioxidant (DPPH and ABTS), α-glucosidase and vasoprotective assays. Using PHWE, the different parts of okra displayed distinct phytochemical profiles, which consist of primarily polyphenolic compounds. The okra Seeds were shown to have the most antioxidant capacity and antidiabetic effects compared to other okra parts, likely to be attributed to their higher levels of polyphenolic compounds. Similarly, okra Seeds also reduced vascular inflammation by downregulating TNFα-stimulated VCAM-1 and SELE expression. Furthermore, metabolite profiling by LC/MS also provided evidence of the cytoprotective effect of okra Seeds in endothelial cells. Therefore, the use of PHWE may be an alternative approach for the environmentally friendly extraction and evaluation of plant extracts for functional food applications.
