From the paper

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing Phellinus linteus extract, comprising the steps of drying and grinding Phellinus linteus to obtain powder thereof, and I) adding to the powder less than a 15-fold excess of water, relative to the weight of the Phellinus linteus powder, and extracting Phellinus linteus extract therefrom at a temperature of 100·C for 5 hours; or ii) adding to the powder less than a 15-fold excess of water, relative to the weight of the Phellinus linteus powder, and extracting Phellinus linteus extract therefrom at a boiling point of 121·C for 1 hour under pressure of 15 lbs (1 kg/cm2); or iii) adding to the powder less than a 15-fold excess of 50 to 75% aqueous ethanol or methanol solution, relative to the weight of the Phellinus linteus powder, and extracting Phellinus linteus extract therefrom at a temperature of 60·C for 5 hours. Further, the present invention provides a food composition comprising thePhellinus linteus extract obtained by the same method.
