Tunisian Polysaccharides

Tunisian Polysaccharides

Researchers explored polysaccharides from king oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii), including two Tunisian strains and one from Korea. The Tunisian mushrooms had higher levels of water-soluble β-glucans, which support immunity, suggesting that the North African strains may offer superior nutritional value and potential as a local food and health resource.
