  1. Percentages of α-glucan, β-glucan, protein, phenolic content in 10 mg/ml mushroom extracts were calculated as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments using the formula listed below:
  2. aTotal glucan: \( \mathrm{Absorbance}\times \frac{100\ \left(\upmu \mathrm{g}\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{the}\ \mathrm{D}\hbox{-} \mathrm{g}\mathrm{lucose}\ \mathrm{standard}\right)}{\mathrm{GOPOD}\ \mathrm{absorbance}\ \mathrm{for}\ 100\;\upmu \mathrm{g}\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{D}\hbox{-} \mathrm{g}\mathrm{lucose}\ \mathrm{standard}}/\mathrm{weight}\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{sample}\times 90 \)
  3. bα-glucan: \( \mathrm{Absorbance}\times \frac{100\ \left(\upmu \mathrm{g}\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{the}\ \mathrm{D}\hbox{-} \mathrm{g}\mathrm{lucose}\ \mathrm{standard}\right)}{\mathrm{GOPOD}\ \mathrm{absorbance}\ \mathrm{for}\ 100\;\upmu \mathrm{g}\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{D}\hbox{-} \mathrm{g}\mathrm{lucose}\ \mathrm{standard}}/\mathrm{weight}\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{sample}\times 9.27 \)
  4. cβ-glucan: Total glucan – α-glucan
  5. dTotal protein content estimated from the bovine serum albumin standard curve (Absorbance at 595 nm = 0.001 (concentration of protein) - 0.166). % protein: concentration of protein (mg)/concentration of extract (10 mg) × 100
  6. eTotal phenolic content estimated from the gallic acid standard curve (Absorbance at 650 nm = 0.939 {concentration of phenolic (mM)} - 0.055). % phenolic: concentration of phenolic (mM) × 170/conc of extract (10 mg) × 100
