Patent number: 10729714Abstract: An extract of a liquid culture of Ganoderma lucidum is provided. The production process encourages the growing mycelium to export bioactive compounds such as beta glucans into the surrounding liquid. Thus, the beta glucan is soluble and easily absorbed. More importantly, the production process allows the beta glucan to retain its triple helix structure which is required to maintain a very high bioactive efficacy. The beta glucans from Ganoderma lucidum can be used in a cream for treatment of psoriasis.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: GLYCANOVA ASInventors: Bjørn Kristiansen, Anne Torill Hovland

Patent number: 10471135Abstract: A process is described for the production of an immunostimulant by submerged cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum in which mycelium from agar plates or a fermentation broth is added to a liquid medium in a shake flask or a bioreactor containing nutrients such as malt extract, yeast extract, peptone and glucose having access to air or to which air is added, and which is kept in constant movement at approx. 28° C. At the proper conditions, there will be an increase in the production of extracellular lentinan, which is shown to be a better immunostimulant than intracellular lentinan. The extracellular product is precipitated from the growth medium by means of methods for the precipitation of microbial polysaccharide.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Glycanova ASInventor: Bjoern Kristiansen

Publication number: 20160015734Abstract: The product according to the present invention is produced in a production process using the mycelium of a mushroom such as Ganoderma lucidum. The production process encourages the growing mycelium to export bioactive compounds such as beta glucans into the surrounding liquid. Thus, the beta glucan is soluble and easily absorbed. More importantly, the production process allows the beta glucan to retain its triple helix structure which is required for maintain a very high bioactive efficacy.
