Attenuative effect of Grifola frondosa (maitake mushroom) on severe DSS-induced colitis in vitamin D-deficient mice

Scope Vitamin D deficiency, which has been a global health issue for decades, is involved in gut health and diseases. We examined the health benefits of Grifola frondosa (maitake mushroom), a potent dietary source of fungal vitamin D (D 2 ), on DSS-induced colitis in vitamin D-deficient mice..

Grifola frondosa (Maitake) extract as natural antioxidant on emulsion-type pork sausages

This study examined the potential of Grifola frondosa extract (GF) as a natural antioxidant and functional ingredient in emulsion-type pork sausages. GF demonstrated dose-dependent radical scavenging activity in DPPH and ABTS assays, with a concentration of 5 mg/mL achieving effects similar to those of l-ascorbic….
