Summary: This study compared the extraction of Dictyophora indusiata polysaccharides using different techniques and found that the polysaccharides had similar chemical compositions but different molecular weights and viscosities. Polysaccharides extracted by pressurized assisted extraction and ultrasonic-assisted extraction showed higher antioxidant effects in vitro. Additionally, pressurized assisted extraction and hot water extraction showed higher binding properties and lipase inhibitory effects compared to microwave-assisted extraction and ultrasonic-assisted extraction.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different extraction methods on the yield, chemical structures and antioxidant activity of Dictyo-phora indusiata polysaccharides. The results showed that ultrasonic-microwave-assisted extraction (UMAE) had the greatest damage to the cell wall of the polysaccharides and the best comprehensive antioxidant capacity. Different extraction methods had no significant effect on the types of glycosidic bonds and sugar rings, but there were differences in absolute molecular weight and molecular conformation. UMAE had the highest polysaccharides yield, indicating its potential for modification and application in the functional food industry.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of adding Dictyophora Indusiata powder (DIP) on the physical, nutritional, antioxidant, and sensory properties, as well as starch digestibility of wheat bread. The results showed that the addition of DIP decreased the specific volume of the bread but increased its chewiness. The bread with DIP had higher levels of protein and dietary fiber, as well as increased total phenolic content and antioxidant properties. Additionally, the moisture and texture of the bread improved during storage, and its enthalpy decreased during the staling period.

Summary: In this study, the effects of three drying techniques on the morphology and texture of edible fruiting bodies of D. indusiata (EFD) were systematically assessed. Metabolomic analysis revealed significant changes in the abundance of metabolites in EFD samples dried using different techniques. Freeze drying preserved the microstructure of EFD samples and improved their appearance, texture, and rehydration properties. Vacuum drying and hot air drying influenced the abundance of taste-related compounds and enhanced the umami of EFD. The browning of hot air dried EFD was caused by Maillard reactions, oxidative degradation of ascorbic acid, and phenylalanine metabolic pathway.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.

Summary: The potential of multi-layer nanoemulsions for improving the cellular uptake, antioxidant activity, and in vitro bioaccessibility of alpha-tocopherol was examined. The results showed that the multi-layer nanoemulsions significantly enhanced the cellular uptake and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol compared to free coumarin 6. Furthermore, the use of chitosan and dextran sulfate as wall materials in the multi-layer nanoemulsions led to even higher cellular uptake, in vitro bioaccessibility, and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol.
