| Popis: | 102 Mushrooms have been not only used as food materials with their unique flavor and texture, but also recognized as an important source of biologically active compound of medicinal value. Mushrooms have a variety of accumulated secondary metabolites such as phenolic compounds, polypeptides, terpenes, and steroids. Mushrooms also have lectins, polysaccharides, polysaccharide-peptides, and polysaccharide-protein complexes which are known to have immunomodulatory and anticancer activities. Mushroom is rich in polysaccharides, and the polysaccharides has been recently researched for many biological and medical tests, such as treating diabetes, lowering the cholesterol, anti-aging, cancer-inhibiting and so on. Pink oyster mushroom (Pleurotus djamor) is a kind of mushrooms emerging on the market, and it is one of the oyster mushroom in Pleurotus. Its polysaccharide content and the biological activity has yet to be fully discovered, so that this test through the MTT cell viability test by the cervix cancer cells (Hela) to observe the biological activity of pink oyster mushroom and also we observe the morphology change of different cancer cell lines through adding the polysaccharides. |
