Product Description
Maitake Extract Powder is a bioactive component extracted from Grifola frondosa (Maitake mushroom). It is primarily composed of polysaccharides and possesses multiple effects, including immune regulation and blood sugar reduction. It has been developed as a raw material for various health products and food additives.
Main Components and Chemical Structure
- Core Active Components: The main chemical components of Grifola frondosa extract are β-1,3-D-glucan and β-1,6-D-glucan with C6 branches, containing multiple active components such as D-component, MD, and X.
- Maitake D-fraction: This is a proteoglycan complex extracted from the fruiting body of Grifola frondosa. The polysaccharide to protein ratio is 7:3, with an average molecular weight of approximately 1 million. Its chemical structure and bioactivity differ from extracts from other mushrooms such as shiitake and Ganoderma lucidum.
- Extraction Process: The conventional method is "water extraction and alcohol precipitation." Enzymatic or ultrasonic pretreatment can also be used to improve polysaccharide yield. After extraction, purification can be achieved through methods such as ethanol fractionation precipitation and ion exchange column chromatography.

What are the benefits?
1. Immune Regulation
The core active substance in Grifola frondosa extract, β-glucan, can target and activate key immune cells such as macrophages, T cells, and NK cells, promoting the synthesis and release of various cytokines, strengthening the body's resistance and clearance of bacteria and viruses, and fortifying the body's immune defense barrier.
2. Antioxidant and Anti-aging Effects
Grifola frondosa contains polyphenols, triterpenoids, and active polysaccharides, which can effectively neutralize excess free radicals in the body, alleviate damage caused by oxidative stress, protect the integrity of cell membranes and gene tissues, and soothe chronic damage caused by long-term chronic inflammation.
Natural fungal polysaccharides can bind to human cell receptors, replenish the nutrients needed by the intercellular matrix, repair damaged cell tissues, stabilize normal cellular metabolism, slow down cell aging, improve the body's condition from within, and maintain youthful vitality.
3. Regulates Blood Sugar and Optimizes Metabolism
Natural Grifola frondosa polysaccharides can bidirectionally regulate human glucose metabolism, repair pancreatic tissue, improve local circulation, and help stabilize insulin secretion; simultaneously, it alleviates insulin resistance, enhances the body's absorption and utilization of sugar, stabilizes fasting blood sugar, and improves various abnormal physical indicators caused by type 2 metabolism problems.
4. Assists in Fighting Viruses
Relying on the dual antioxidant advantages of natural polyphenols and polysaccharides, it balances the body's oxidative metabolic order, reduces the continuous erosion of organs and the body by free radicals, and reduces the damage to the body caused by external stimuli.
By leveraging its own immune system, it enhances the body's overall defense mechanisms, reduces discomfort caused by viral invasion at the source, and strengthens the body's comprehensive protective capabilities.
Preparation Methods
1. Aqueous Extract
The raw medicinal material is chopped and added to an extraction tank (6 m³) with 400 kg of raw material. For the first extraction, 12 times the amount of water is added, and the mixture is heated under reflux for 1 hour. For the second extraction, 8 times the amount of water is added, and the mixture is heated under reflux for 1 hour. The extract is filtered through a pipeline filter and then centrifuged using a two-stage centrifuge to obtain the centrifuged liquid. The centrifuged liquid is concentrated under reduced pressure to a thick paste, 95% ethanol is added, and the mixture is filtered. The precipitate is then vacuum dried to obtain the final product. The content of this product, determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method, is approximately 20%.
2. Alkaline Extract
The raw medicinal material is chopped and added to a 1N NaOH solution. The mixture is extracted three times at 70℃ with stirring, each time for 2 hours. The extracts are combined, centrifuged, and the centrifuged liquid is concentrated under reduced pressure to a thick paste. 95% ethanol is added to precipitate the precipitate, which is then centrifuged again. The precipitate is washed with ethanol and vacuum dried to obtain the final product. The content of this product, determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method, is 16%–18%.
