EFFECTS ON SOME FACTORS ON THE EXTRACT OF TRITERPENOID FROM Trametes versicolor BY ULTRASONIC WAVE-ASSISTED EXTRACTION METHOD

Abstract

Turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor) is a medicinal mushroom used as a health-promoting pharmaceutical, extending life and adjuvant therapy for cancer patients. The mycelia and fruiting bodies of Trametes versicolor contain various biologically active compounds such as polysaccharides, glucans, phenolics, flavonols, coumarins, isoflavonoids, triterpenoids, and sterols. In this article, we extracted total triterpenoid (TTE) from Trametes versicolor by Ultrasound extraction system frequency 20 kHz: The results indicated that the appropriate conditions extracted TTE were an ethanol 75%/material ratio of 9/1, ultrasound intensity 50 w/cm², temperature 50ºC, extraction time 12 min gave TTE content 6.13 times higher than the control. The potential application of ultrasound in the extraction of TTE from Trametes versicolor has been shown to be more effective than conventional extraction without ultrasound: shortening of extraction time, obtaining higher TTE content.
