Changes of Physiological Characteristic Indexes in the Aging Process of the Liquid Spawn of Auricularia auricula

Abstract

In order to explore the change rule of physiological indexes during the aging process of the liquid spawn of Auricularia auricula, this test chooses three species of Auricularia auricula(Hei29, Heiweibanjin and Heiweidanpian), which treasured the activities of antioxidant enzymes, antioxidant substances, membrane peroxidation degree and reactive oxygen concentration during different mycelia age. The conclusion showed that: at the same mycelial age, the vitality of Heiweidanpian was the strongest, Hei29 followed, and Heiweibanjin was the weakest; with the increase of mycelia age, Catalase (CAT) activity, Ascorbic Acid(ASA) content, Malondialdehyde (MDA) content and O2- production rate of the three kinds of Auricularia auricula increased continuously. Among them, ASA content, MDA content and O2- production rate increased significantly, while Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity decreased significantly; although the Proline (Pro) content and electrical conductivity of the three kinds of Auricularia auricula showed different trends, which decreased significantly at 14 to 16d and increased significantly at 8 to 10d, respectively, and H2O2 content increased significantly at 12 to 16d. It can be seen that SOD activity, CAT activity, ASA content, MDA content and O2- production rate have significant regular changes during the aging process of the liquid spawn of Auricularia auricula. The quantitative analysis found that when the MDA content is 1.42~1.72 μmol·g-1, the H2O2 content is 3.4~4.3 μmol·g-1 or the O2- production rate is 9.5~12.1 μmol·g-1·min-1, it can be considered Auricularia auricula just started to age or the aging degree is relatively low.
