Effects of Solid-State Fermentation with the Ganoderma spp. and Coriolus versicolor on the Total Phenol Contents and Antioxidant Properties on Black Soybean by Yanting Li, Lina Xu, Shang Guo

“…Aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of solid-state fermentation of 4 strains ((Ganoderma oregonense (GO), Ganoderma lucidum (GL), Ganoderma sinensis (GS), and Coriolus versicolor (CV))) on the nutrients, functional ingredients, and antioxidant activity in black soybean. As a result, after fermentation by 3 strains of Ganoderma spp. and CV, the contents of crude protein, crude fat, reducing sugar, soluble protein, triterpenoid, and total phenol contents in black soybean significantly increased P < 0.01, particularly in CV-black soybean. …”
