Analytical characterization of the present batch

Selected material parameters were analytically determined for this batch:

• β-glucans: The content of β-glucan fractions was quantified using appropriate analytical methods. Link
• Total glucans (polysaccharides) and α-glucans: Link
• Amino acids: A batch-specific amino acid profile was created and documented. Link
• Environmental analysis: The sample was tested for selected environmental parameters (heavy metals, pesticide residues, and microbiological parameters).
The environmental analysis was evaluated by the GBA (Society for Bioanalytics). Link

Ergosterol: a sterol found exclusively in fungi. This vitamin D precursor provides insight into the quality of the raw material used. Link

Carrier material: Every Huaier extract contains a carrier material necessary for stabilization. Without it, a stable extract cannot be produced. In most cases, maltodextrin is used for this purpose. The maltodextrin content should be kept as low as possible. In the extract offered here, it is extremely low at 6.2%. Conversely, this means 93.8% pure extract. The product from Gaitianli, which was used in the current studies (and is not available in Europe), contains 25.1% maltodextrin. Here is the analysis: Link

The raw data from environmental analysis: see links. However, these cannot be interpreted independently without expert classification; the analytical evaluation by the testing laboratory is therefore decisive.

The analyses serve exclusively for the material characterization of the material within the scope of scientific and analytical questions.
The results refer exclusively to the chemical composition of the batch examined.

This does not imply any assessment of biological, nutritional, or health properties.

taxonomy

• Family: Polyporaceae

• Taxonomic synonyms: Vanderbylia robiniophila, Polyporus robiniophilus, Perenniporia robiniophila, Poria robiniophila

Morphological description

The fruiting bodies grow in a semicircular to fan-shaped pattern and can be arranged like roof tiles. Their consistency ranges from corky to woody. Young specimens are light cream to ochre in color and finely hairy; with age, they turn gray to brownish.

The pore layer has a fine structure (approx. 4–6 pores per mm). The context tissue (trama) is ochre to wood-colored and has a zoned structure.

Microscopic characteristics

• Hyphae system dimitic (generative and skeletal hyphae)
• Generative hyphae thin-walled, with buckles
• Skeletal hyphae thick-walled, dominant
• Spores smooth-walled, hyaline, thick-walled
• Cystidia absent

Ecology & Habitat

Trametes robiniophila is a wood-degrading polypore that grows on hardwoods. Common substrates are black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and other hardwoods. The species is mainly found in warmer to subtropical regions and causes white rot in wood.

Natural substance analysis (overview)

Scientific studies have described various groups of substances in the fruiting body, including:

• β-glucans
• Proteoglycans
• Amino acids
• Terpenoids and steroidal compounds
• Other secondary metabolites typical of fungi

The composition may vary depending on origin, growing conditions, and processing.
