Abstract

Mushroom Cordyceps militaris is known as a high functional food that supports (restores, maintains or enhances) the function of body parts, with or without nutritional effects, makes body comfortable, increases resistance and reduce the risk of disease. Study of artificial media for increasing pharmaceutical values of the fungus was carried out on four artificial media including M-1 (purple rice, SBG (spent brewery grain), mineral nutrient), M-2 (Secale cereal, SBG, mineral nutrient), M-3 (purple rice, mineral nutrient) and M-4 (Secale cereal, mineral nutrient). These four types of artificial media cultured with the CM- China1 fungus at artificial conditions. The results showed that stromata (fruiting body or buffer) were formed on medium containing SBG. Two media added SBG showed pharmaceutical values of fruiting body higher than those without SBG. The M-2 medium containing SBG increased the highest levels of cordycepin and adenosine in fruiting bodies at 10.58 mg/g and 0.85 mg/g fresh stromata.
