  • Patent number: 11925146
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cultivation method of morels and belongs to the technical field of cultivation of edible fungi. After nutrient contents that can be metabolized and utilized by morel mycelia are scientifically matched, sterilization treatment of exogenous nutrients is eliminated, and the exogenous nutrients are directly compressed for forming. Formed exogenous nutrient blocks and spawn is sowed and covered with soil, so as to realize a potential difference between “rich” and “poor” nutrients in a physical space. When the spawn germinate to form a mycelium network, the mycelia will enter a nutrient-rich exogenous nutrient area, secrete various extracellular enzymes to decompose and utilize these exogenous nutrient blocks, and transport them to a nutrient-poor mycelium network for storage, so as to complete nutrient assimilation and absorption, and reserve energy for later sexual reproduction.

  • Publication number: 20210137965
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the prevention of osteoporosis and specifically relates to an application of xylan (polyxylose) in the preparation of drugs or food for preventing or treating osteoporosis. The present disclosure proves by utilizing high-purity xylan in animal experimentation that xylan significantly improves bone metabolism, increases blood vitamin D, PINP, and BALP levels, reduces blood CTXI and urine hydroxyproline levels, and reduces urinary calcium loss, thus providing the effects of inhibiting bone resorption and promoting bone formation. Compared with animals having cellulose, lignin, pectin, fructan, glucomannan intakes or having no dietary fiber intake, animals having a xylan intake have higher bone mass and bone density and better bone biomechanical properties. Xylan is suitable for further development into the drugs or food for preventing or treating osteoporosis.
