Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mycelium culture, and particularly relates to a culture method of high-selenium and high-cordycepin content Cordyceps militaris mycelium and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cordyceps militaris belongs to Fungi, Ascomycota, Hypocreales, Clavicipitaceae and Cordyceps, and is a medicinal and edible fungus with both nourishing and medicinal values. The core value of Cordyceps militaris is derived from active ingredients such as cordycepin, cordycepic acid, adenosine and polysaccharides. Modern research shows that these ingredients endow Cordyceps militaris with effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and immune enhancement, and also show potential application prospects in the field of anti-tumor. With excellent nutritional and medicinal properties, Cordyceps militaris gradually gains popularity among consumers, and the market demand is increasing year by year.
[0003] Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body, and is crucial in maintaining the health homeostasis of the body. It is also known as the "king of anti-cancer elements" and "human immune activator". It is the key active component of various selenium-containing enzymes and selenium-containing proteins. Through participating in the regulation of redox balance and the activation of immune cells, it plays biological effects such as anti-oxidative damage and enhanced immune response. For healthy people and people at risk of selenium deficiency, scientific supplementation of selenium within a reasonable range helps to maintain physiological functions and has a positive significance in reducing the risk of some selenium deficiency-related diseases. However, the selenium in the soil and water in nature is mostly inorganic selenium, which has low bioavailability and is easy to cause selenium poisoning in excess. Therefore, it needs to be converted into organic selenium by plants, animals or microorganisms to achieve safe absorption with high bioavailability and low toxicity, which is an effective way for the human body to obtain selenium elements.
[0004] Cordyceps militaris has a unique advantage as a selenium enrichment carrier. Its mycelium has strong selenium tolerance and selenium accumulation capacity. During the growth and metabolism process, Cordyceps militaris can efficiently convert inorganic selenium in the external environment into organic selenium such as protein selenium and polysaccharide selenium through intracellular material metabolism mechanisms, which not only solves the safety problems of inorganic selenium, but also improves the bioavailability of selenium elements, further expanding the application value of Cordyceps militaris. However, the existing culture methods of Cordyceps militaris mycelium are mostly liquid culture, which generally has low yield, low selenium content, low cordycepin content and safety problems of selenium source, and needs to be solved urgently. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the organic combination of Cordyceps militaris and safe selenium source. However, there is no related technical solution in the existing technology, so there is an urgent need for a technical solution for the organic combination of Cordyceps militaris and safe selenium source in the field.
