Nutritional value and efficacy of matsutake
Matsutake is a rare and precious edible fungus of pure nature, known as “the king of bacteria”. According to legend, after the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima in August 1945, the only surviving multicellular microorganism is matsutake, which cannot be artificially cultivated in the world. It grows in the cold temperate zone above 3500 meters in the alpine forest.
There is a record in the Song Dynasty “The classics and history of the kind of urgent Materia Medica”. Studies have shown that matsutake is rich in protein, with 18 kinds of amino acids, 14 kinds of essential trace elements, 49 kinds of active nutrients, 5 kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, nucleic acid derivatives, peptides and other rare elements.
In addition, it contains 3 kinds of precious active substances, which are double chain matsutake polysaccharide, matsutake polypeptide and the world’s unique anti-cancer substance – matsutake alcohol, which is the world’s most precious natural medicinal fungi. Matsutake is collected and eaten from early August to mid-October in autumn. Has a special flavor, taste like abalone, very smooth and refreshing.
Matsutake is known as “god fungus” in Japan. Japanese people are used to eating matsutake in autumn, and believe in “form to complement form”, which has the functions of strengthening essence and tonifying kidney, brain and brain, and anti-cancer.
Matsutake contains 18 kinds of amino acids, 14 kinds of essential trace elements, 49 kinds of active nutrients, 5 kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, 8 kinds of vitamins, 2 kinds of glycoproteins, rich dietary fiber and a variety of active enzymes. In addition, it contains 3 kinds of precious active substances, which are double chain matsutake polysaccharide, matsutake polypeptide and matsutake alcohol, a unique anticancer substance in the world. It is the most precious natural medicinal fungus in the world.
Matsutake not only has balanced and sufficient nutrition, but also has many effects such as improving immunity, anti-cancer and anti-tumor, treating diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, anti-aging and nourishing skin, promoting stomach and liver. Matsutake is a global natural tonic, the industry is mainly concentrated in Europe and Japan, the domestic is still in its infancy.
The main nutritional elements of matsutake include :18 kinds of amino acids, 14 kinds of essential trace elements, 49 kinds of active nutrients, 5 kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, 8 kinds of vitamins, 2 kinds of glycoproteins, rich dietary fiber and a variety of active enzymes, and another contains 3 kinds of precious active substances. They are double stranded matsutake polysaccharides, matsutake polypeptides and matsutake alcohol, a unique anti-cancer substance in the world. Matsutake has a reputation as a treasure house of natural nutrition in the world because of its balanced nutrition and rich content.
The nutritional and medicinal value of matsutake is very high. Modern medicine shows that matsutake has many effects, such as improving immunity, anti-cancer and anti-tumor, treating diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, anti-aging, promoting stomach and liver, etc., so it is widely used in the research and development of drugs, health products and cosmetics around the world.
Matsutake this food has high nutritional value, not only can tonify the kidney and qi, but also can help men replenish and restore energy. And for people with weak stomach, matsutake can also help regulate the stomach. In addition, the amino acids contained in matsutake can help promote the development of the brain, help to enhance people’s memory and brain power, is a good food for brain health.
Matsutake can help regulate blood pressure and blood sugar, and has the effect of clearing blood vessels and softening blood vessels, preventing cardiovascular problems, while matsutake can also help speed up metabolism, enhance the body’s immunity, strengthen the body’s resistance, can better resist viruses, prevent common problems such as colds.
If the free radicals in the body are too high, it is easy to cause cancer, so matsutake can play a role in preventing and treating cancer. Matsutake can improve the activity of SOD in the body, so it can speed up the removal of free radicals, which can not only improve the anticancer property of cells, but also delay the aging of the human body, improve the antiviral ability of the human body, and prevent the occurrence of cell mutations.
Now most of the young people are in a sub-health state, although the body has not been reported to the police, but often feel tired and weak, even if there is nothing to do, it will be weak. In fact, this is unhealthy living habits and life and rest caused, today’s young people are basically ordering takeout for a living, but also often stay up late, the physical condition is not good, if often eat matsutake can improve the sub-health state. The polysaccharides in matsutake can improve people’s immunity and resistance, so that the health of the body will be improved, at least the spirit will be much better than before, and the body will not always be weak.
The medicinal effect of matsutake
Anticancer and antitumor
Anticancer and antitumor principles
Matsutake contains a special double-stranded bioactive substance, matsutake ol (RNA), which is not found in any other plant. It has strong anti-gene mutation ability and anti-cancer effect. It can automatically recognize the toxins secreted by tumor cells, target and bind to tumor cells, and enter the cell by dissolving tumor cell membrane and destroying lipid bilayer. Block the transbody protein receptor of tumor cells, block the protein synthesis of tumor cells, so that tumor cells can not divide and multiply and die; Destroy the DNA gene of genetic replication of tumor cells, so as to achieve the purpose of anti-gene mutation, inhibit tumor and control tumor recurrence and metastasis.
Studies have shown that the anti-tumor effect of matsutake is manifested in two aspects: on the one hand, it directly kills tumor cells. Experiments have found that certain proteins contained in matsutake can directly kill cancer cells of skin cancer and uterine cancer. On the other hand, it can induce apoptosis of tumor cells. Experiments showed that some active glycoproteins in matsutake can inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells and induce apoptosis of cells by inhibiting the transformation stage from S to G2M in the cycle of cancer cells.
Anticancer and antitumor applications
Japan is the most successful country in using matsutake to prevent cancer, which experts believe is due to the fact that Japan ranks among the lowest in the world in terms of cancer conversion rate and case fatality rate. In terms of cancer treatment, matsutake is accepted by more and more patients on the one hand as a rehabilitation food after cancer surgery, and on the other hand, it is used as an adjuvant drug for cancer postoperative treatment in the form of extracts. At present, only a few institutions such as Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Yunnan Baiyao are engaged in the research and product development of matsutake anti-cancer. Strengthening the science popularization and clinical research of matsutake anti-cancer is of great significance for the application of this endangered species.
Boost immunity
Matsutake contains various nutrients needed by the human body, and has the effect of comprehensively improving immunity. Especially, the polysaccharides of double chain matsutake rich in matsutake can activate human T cells, have definite enhancement effect on non-specific immunity and specific immunity, and have certain effect on the rapid improvement of immunity of people with weak body and post-natal population.
Treat diabetes
Modern medicine shows that matsutake has the effect of treating diabetes. Main modes of action :1. Increase insulin content in the body: Matsutake can stimulate the secretion of insulin by islet beta cells, protect and repair islet beta cells, and increase insulin content in the body; 2. Reduce blood sugar content after meals: α-glucosidase inhibitor is a new type of hypoglycemic drug. Experiments have proved that α-glucosidase inhibitor (GI) extracted from matsutake can reduce blood sugar of diabetic patients after meals; 3, direct hypoglycemic: Matsutake can improve insulin resistance, accelerate liver glucose metabolism, with direct hypoglycemic effect.
Treatment of cardiovascular disease
The content of unsaturated fatty acids in matsutake is much higher than that of saturated fatty acids, among which oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmitic acid account for a high proportion of fatty acids. Oleic acid and linoleic acid can effectively remove garbage in human blood, delay aging, reduce cholesterol content and blood viscosity, prevent hypertension, atherosclerosis and cerebral thrombosis and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Hepatoprotective effect
Matsutake can promote free radical scavenging, inhibit or block lipid peroxidation caused by free radicals, enhance SOD, CAT, GSH-Px activities, improve the body’s antioxidant capacity, and have the effect of protecting liver.
Anti-radiation, anti-mutation effect
After World War II, matsutake emerged from the ruins of the atomic bomb and became the only species that can survive in a high radiation environment, reflecting the strong radiation resistance of matsutake. Modern medical experiments have shown that matsutake polysaccharides can remove free radicals and peroxides in the body, protect cells from mutations, and eliminate all kinds of radiation damage to cells.
