Abstract

Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) containing ${\beta}$-glucans may be beneficial for human health; they have been used in the treatment of cancer, hypertension, and high cholesterol levels. The objective of this study was to determine the ${\beta}$-glucan content in different sections of the fruiting bodies and mycelia of ten shiitake mushroom cultivars. The measured ${\beta}$-glucan content ranged from $20.06{\pm}1.76%$ to $44.21{\pm}0.13%$ in the pileus sections, and from $29.74{\pm}1.40%$ to $56.47{\pm}4.72%$ in the stipe sections. The results of this study indicate that the variance in ${\beta}$-glucan content dependent on the shiitake cultivar, and that the ${\beta}$-glucan content is higher in the stipe than in the pileus.
