“…The high pressure generated during the extraction process maintains water in its liquid state at temperatures higher than its boiling point, accelerating mass transfer of compounds (Li, Dobruchowska, Gerwig, Dijkhuizen, & Kamerling, 2013;Ruthes et al, 2015). Several studies used MAE to extract total polysaccharides from mushrooms (Chen, Shao, Tao, & Wen, 2015;Wang & Li, 2010) however, only a few studied the β-D-glucans content of the obtained extracts (Ruthes et al, 2015;Zheng, Zhang, Gao, Jia, & Chen, 2012).…”
