Research on sub-critical water extraction of lentinan
The experiment studied the optimum conditions of sub-critical water using in the extraction of lentinan. The results showed that the optimum conditions were as follows. The subcritical water temperature was 150 ℃, suitable ratio of solvent was 35 mL·g-1, the extraction time was 11 min, extraction times were 2 times. Under the conditions, the yield of lentinan was 15.7%. Comparing with the water extraction method, the sub-critical water extraction could shorten the extraction time and improve the yield of lentinan.
