Effect of Low-temperature Plasma on Polysaccharide Components of Pleurotus ostreatus Fungi

Abstract

Active macromolecules in Pleurotus ostreatus fungi are playing an important role in more and more aspects. Therefore, in this study, low-temperature plasma was used to treat Pleurotus ostreatus fungi. The optimal treatment conditions were as follows: treatment power 130 W, treatment time 25 s, and working pressure 140 Pa. Then scanning electron microscopy and polysaccharide composition analysis were carried out.
