“…The human body continuously produces various reactive oxygen free radicals during the oxidative metabolism process of life activities, which may easily cause oxidative damage to DNA and further cause cancer, arteriosclerosis, aging, and other diseases. Polysaccharides and polysaccharide metal ion complexes have excellent antioxidant activity, and their antioxidant mechanisms mainly include: direct capture or removal of active oxygen such as OH, O 2 , and H 2 O 2 inhibit the progress of the oxidation reaction, thereby blocking the initiation of the lipid peroxidation reaction; complexes of metal ions such as Fe 2+ and Cu 2+ that are necessary for the production of active oxygen inhibit the production of active oxygen; promote the production of SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and other antioxidant enzymes release or increase their activity, which indirectly exerts antioxidant effects [ 20 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 ].…”

Inonotus obliquus (Chaga mushroom) is a kind of medicine and health food widely used by folk in China, Russia, Korea, and some occidental countries. Among the extracts from Inonotus obliquus, Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide (IOPS) is supposed to be one of the major bioactive components in Inonotus obliquus, which possesses antitumor, antioxidant, anti-virus, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic activities. In this review, the current advancements on extraction, purification, structural characteristics, and biological activities of IOPS were summarized. This review can provide significant insight into the IOPS bioactivities as their in vitro and in vivo data were summarized, and some possible mechanisms were listed. Furthermore, applications of IOPS were reviewed and discussed; IOPS might be a potential candidate for the treatment of cancers and type 2 diabetes. Besides, new perspectives for the future work of IOPS were also proposed.

“…Phellinus torulosus newly named as Fuscoporia torulosa (family Hymenochaetaceae ) is a wood‐decay mushroom commonly found in Europe and North America. The species is nontoxic and known for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties (Azeem et al, 2018; Azeem et al, 2020; Seephonkai et al, 2011). Another species of our study, Phellinus igniarius , also classified as Phellinus trivialis , is a well‐known edible saprotrophic mushroom used in Asian traditional medicine due to its high bioactivity (Yang et al, 2016; Yin et al, 2015; Zapora et al, 2016).…”

In light of the powerful therapeutic features of Phellinus species and due to the absence of toxic compounds, our investigations were aimed at screening of the antioxidant profile of fortified yogurts with hot water extracts from Phellinus torulosus and Phellinus igniarius leveled to 10%, 5%, and 1% final fortification concentrations after acknowledging their superior bioactive content and radical scavenging capacities (59.77% and 56.73% of DPPH inhibition, respectively) versus cold water extracts (29.87% and 33.18% inhibition rates). Fortified samples signified dose-dependent increases in their inhibition rates during the storage period, with significant differences between 10% fortifications on the 7 day of storage in favor of the samples fortified with P. torulosus. Explicitly, P. torulosus showed 16% higher DPPH and 62.5% higher LPO neutralizing activity than yogurt enriched with P. igniarius. However, prolonged refrigeration tended to equalize antioxidant profiles in both fortified yogurts. Total titratable acidity and pH levels of the fortified yogurts as most important parameters for consumer acceptance were unaltered during storage. F I G U R E 5 Changes in inhibition percentage of lipid peroxidation-antioxidant activity of the plain and fortified yogurts, during refrigerated storage (4°C). The values are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). Different small letters indicate statistical significance p < .05 of the yogurts throughout different points of storage (Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance followed by Duncan post hoc test). Different capital letters indicate statistical significance p < .05 between the yogurts on the same day of storage (One-way Analysis of Variance followed by Duncan post hoc test).

“…Phellinus durissimus is a wood rotting mushroom and is used in traditional medicinal practices by the tribes of Dang district of South Gujarat [9]. Phellinus species are good sources of carbohydrates, proteins, fibres, fats and minerals [10][11][12][13]. These are rich in various bioactive constituents like polysaccahrides, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids and anthocyanins [14][15].…”

The genus Phellinus Quél. (Family-Hymenochaetaceae) is a cosmopolitan polypore mushroom including a large number of wood rotting species. However some of these species have pharmacological significance and are in use as folk medicine since ages. The present investigation aims at taxonomic study, evaluation of physicochemical properties and screening of mycochemical composition of the specimen collected from district Dehradun, Uttarakhand (India). Based on morphology and microscopy, the specimen was identified as Phellinus pachyphloeus (Pat.) Pat. This mushroom showed negligible foreign matter, low moisture content (13.67%), high dry weight (86.33%), good flow characteristics, high dispersibility (85.67%), high alcohol soluble extractives, high water absorption capacity, good emulsion properties and high content of water soluble ash (3%).The preliminary mycochemical screening was done as per established standards and showed the presence of carbohydrates, reducing sugars, proteins, amino acids, steroids, terpenoids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins, anthraquinone glycosides and cardiac glycosides. These results for Phellinus pachyphloeus (Pat.) Pat. are an indication of its potential use in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical preparations.
