To find antitumor components in liquid cultured cell-free broth and the hot water extract from the fruiting body of Hericium erinaceus, polysaccharides were purified and fractionated by DEAE-cellulose ion exchage column chromatography and Sepharose CL-6B gel filtration chromatography. Among various crude polysaccharides and purified polysaccharides the fractions showing immune-activity were determined by NO assay.

In recent years, Hericium erinaceus became famous for comsumer because it contains some materials to assist in human health. This study was carried out to find the difference of occurring pattern of H. erinaceus by pinheading induction methods. Harvest period of T1, T2 treatments were longer than T3~T6. All treatments fresh weights were not significantly different, but T3, T6 treatments's dry weight in 2nd flush were lower than others. T5 treatment's 2nd flush's regeneration rate was the highest than others and looks best quality. Therefore, it is suggested that pinheading induction method would be changed not T1, T2 treatment which were used some farm as Pluerotus ostreatus cultivation, but to scratch surface method which is T5 treatment for cultivation of high quality H. erinaceus.

The prototypes, Rto-x+$Ca(NO_3)_2$, K-Ca, and Rto-$x{\beta}$, which were extracted from spent mushroom substrate of Hericium erinaceus, strongly inhibited the growth of Ralstonia solanacearum. The control efficacies of tomato bacterial wilt by treatment with Rto-x+$Ca(NO_3)_2$, K-Ca, and Rto-$x{\beta}$ were 87.4~92.4%, 46.0~100%, and 65.0~91.9%, respectively. These results indicate that Rto-x+$Ca(NO_3)_2$, K-Ca, and Rto-$x{\beta}$ have a potential as eco-friendly antibacterial materials for the control of tomato bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum.

The effect of Herricium erinaceus on the mutagenicity in salmonella assay and quinone reductase activity in hapalclc7 cells were studied. Antimutagenic as evaluated by Ames test, the extract and fractions of JHerricium erinaceus had no effects on the mutagenicity by themselves. However, methanol extract and fractions from Hericium erinaceus showed strong inhibitory effect on the mutagenesis induced by N-methyl -N'-nitor-N- nitroso-guanidine (MNNG) and benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P). Among the solvent fractions of methanol extract, the hexane fraction, the chloroform fraction and the ethylacetate fraction exhibited stronger inhibitory activity against MNNG and B(a)P induced mutagenesis than butanol and water fractions. The methanol extract, the extract, the chloroform and the ethylacetate fractions of Hericium erinaceus induced the activity of quinone reductase, an anticarcinogenic marker enzyme, in murine hepalclc7 cells while the others did have little effect on the enzyme activity.

In this study, ethanolic extracts from Hericium erinaceum cultivated with Artemisia capillaris (HEAC) were assessed for their ability to lower the cholesterol levels of male Sprague-Dawley rats fed a high-fat diet. Rats were randomly subdivided into seven test groups. Each group contained eight rats fed a high-fat diet during a growth period lasting 4 wk. Supplementation with the extracts was performed once a day for 2 wk after the high-fat diet. The control group (rats fed a high-fat diet) showed a high efficiency ratio (feed efficiency ratio) value compared to the normal group. Biochemical parameters, including total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), and triglyceride (TG) levels dramatically increased in the control group compared to the normal group. High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) content in the control group was also significantly lower relative to the normal group. Two positive control groups, treated with simvastatin and atorvastatin, had lowered TC, LDL-c, and TG levels, and increased HDL-c content compared to the control group. Treatment with the tested extracts, including HEAC, ethanolic extracts from Hericium erinaceum, and ethanolic extracts from Artemisia capillaris reduced TC, LDL-c, and TG levels and elevated HDL-c content in the hyperlipidemia rats. The atherogenic index and cardiac risk factor values for the HEAC-treated group were 0.95 and 1.95, respectively. Simvastatin- and atorvastatin-treated groups showed atherogenic index values of 1.56 and 1.69, respectively, and cardiac risk factor values of 2.56 and 2.69, respectively. These results show HEAC possesses an ability to cure hyperlipidemia in rats and may serve as an effective natural medicine for treating hyperlipidemia in humans.

For the study of Hericium erinaceum as a useful functional foods and materials, liquid cultivation under two different bioreactors(air-lift fermenter and jar fermenter) which was not studied systematically until now, was conducted as a method of mass cultivation for H. erinaceum. A batch cultivation in an air-lift fermenter and a jar fermenter was examined for enhancing the productivity because of small amounts of mycelial weight and slow growth in case of a liquid culture for H. erinaceum. We found that air lift fermenter system was more effective than jar fermenter for mycelial production of H. erinaceum, and mycelial morphology was a critical factor of the growth. By scale-up and cultivation based on morphological analysis, the conditions for mass production with 30 L and 500 L jar fermenter was 200 and 150 rpm of agitation speed at 1 vvm of aeration rate, respectively, and mycelial dry weight under these conditions was enhanced to about $13{\sim}14g/L$.

Vegetative growth of four different strains of Hericium erinaceus was observed. The temperature suitable for optimal mycelial growth was determined to be $25^{\circ}C$, with growth observed in the extend temperature range of $20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$. The different strains of this mushroom showed distinct pH requirements for their optimum vegetative growth, with the most favorable growth observed at pH 6. Considering vegetative mycelial growth, PDA, YM, Hennerberg, Hamada, and Glucose peptone were the most favorable media, and Czapek Dox, Hoppkins, Glucose tryptone, and Lilly were the most unfavorable media for these mushroom strains. With the exception of lactose, most of the carbon sources assayed demonstrated favorable vegetative growth of H. erinaceus. For mycelial growth, the most suitable nitrogen source was alanine and the most unsuitable was histidine. Oak sawdust medium supplemented with $10{\sim}20%$ rice bran was the best for mycelial growth of the mushroom.

Mushrooms are considered not only as food but also for source of physiologically beneficial medicines. The culinary-medicinal mushrooms may important role in the prevention of age-associated neurological dysfunctions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Hericium erinaceus (H. erinaceus), is edible mushrooms, is a parasitic fungus that grows hanging off of logs and trees and well established candidate for brain and nerve health. H. erinaceus contains high amounts of antioxidants, beta-glucan, polysaccharides and a potent catalyst for brain tissue regeneration and helps to improve memory and cognitive functions. Its fruiting bodies and the fungal mycelia exhibit various pharmacological activities, including the enhancement of the immune system, antitumor, hypoglycemic and anti-aging properties. H. erinaceus stimulates the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) which is the primary protein nutrient responsible for enhancing and repairing neurological disorders. Especially hericenones and erinacines isolated from its fruitin body stimulate NGF, synthesis. This fungus is also utilized to regulate blood levels of glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol. H. erinaceus can be considered as useful therapeutic agents in the management and/or treatment of neurodegeneration diseases. However, this review focuses on in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials for neurodegerative disease.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of roll mill, jet mill Hericium erinaceus (HE) powders and seasonings using them (RPS and JPS). Water binding capacity of the jet mill HE powder(JP) was higher than that of roll mill HE powder(RP). The reduction of particle size resulted in the increases of specific surface area and JP showed smaller particle size than RP. $L^*$ of JP was significantly higher than that of RP. In sensory evaluation, the color and the flavor of seasoning showed on significant difference. Control and JPS got significantly high scores in 'Overall Acceptability' than RPS. Based on the results in this study, JPS is considered to have potential to be developed commercially as seasoning.
