Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of artificial culture technology for edible and medicinal fungi, particularly to the deep fermentation technology for the precious medicinal fungus *Antrodia camphorata*. It aims to overcome the technical bottlenecks in existing *Antrodia camphorata* mycelial culture techniques, such as low biomass and unsatisfactory yields of active ingredients (polysaccharides, triterpenoids), and to provide a novel *Antrodia camphorata* mycelial culture medium, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Antrodia cinnamomea, also known as camphor mushroom, is a rare medicinal fungus endemic to Taiwan, my country, with a complex composition. It mainly contains macromolecular compounds such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides; small molecular compounds such as lignin and aromatic compounds; terpenoids; nucleotides; fatty acids; and fatty acid esters. The active ingredients in Antrodia cinnamomea include triterpenoids, polysaccharides, superoxide dismutase (SOD), adenosine, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, nucleic acids, and lectins, with triterpenoids, polysaccharides, adenosine, and SOD being the most prevalent. Traditional uses of Antrodia cinnamomea include relieving headaches, diarrhea, abdominal pain, alcohol poisoning, and hypertension. Current research has revealed that it possesses various pharmacological effects, including anti-tumor, liver-protective, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.
[0003] Due to its unique bioactivity, *Antrodia camphorata* has gained widespread market attention. Although its significant pharmacological functions, such as anti-cancer and antioxidant effects, have become a hot topic in academic research, the efficient cultivation technology for *Antrodia camphorata* has lagged behind in the process of industrialization. Current bottlenecks are mainly concentrated in the following aspects: First, host resources are unsustainable; wild or traditional cultivation methods of *Antrodia camphorata* are highly dependent on scarce *Cinnamomum camphora* wood resources. Second, growth conditions are demanding; the natural growth environment is difficult to completely simulate under artificial conditions. Third, growth and reproduction efficiency is low; mycelial growth is slow, and fruiting bodies are difficult to artificially induce reproduction. Fourth, while previous methods have explored adding specific microbial fermentation products and food and medicinal extracts (such as bran extract and tangerine peel extract) to the culture medium to promote growth can improve the cultivation effect to some extent, the introduction of exogenous complex components may lead to uncontrollable product composition, increased difficulty in downstream classification and purification, and increased production costs. More fundamentally, existing research on cultivation technologies focuses on increasing mycelial biomass or the yield of a single target metabolite, lacking a comprehensive solution that can coordinate and efficiently enhance multiple core active ingredients. The limitations of this technology have led to widespread problems in the current market for Antrodia camphorata-related products (most of which are crude extracts of fermentation broth or fruiting body powder), such as unclear effective components, large fluctuations in content, and difficulty in standardizing quality. These issues have severely hampered the development of high-value-added Antrodia camphorata and the progress of clinical application research.
[0004] Therefore, how to overcome the limitations of wild hosts and establish a culture system that can simultaneously promote the growth of Antrodia camphorata mycelium and the efficient synthesis of multiple active products without introducing exogenous complex bioactive substances, and achieve stable, reliable, and large-scale production management, has become a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the current industrial and technological development.
