Key points

  • In the present work, the optimization of extraction, emulsifying properties, and biological activities of polysaccharides from Lentinula edodes Sing (LES) were studied
  • The results showed LES polysaccharides extracted by hot water or ultrasonication are a group of β-glucan
  • Among all the samples, the one extracted by hot water showed the best emulsifying capacity
  • In addition, the results demonstrated that LES polysaccharide had strong scavenging activities in vitro on DPPH and ABTS radicals, which reached the highest level for the one extracted by 90 min ultrasonication ( p < 0.05)
  • Overall, Lentinula edodes Sing polysaccharides (LESPs) may have potential applications as emulsifying agents in food industries
