Schizophyllan is an exopolysaccharide elaborated by the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune and appreciated as a multipurpose compound applicable in many fields, including food industry and pharmacy. In this review, the current knowledge on schizophyllan chemistry, physico-chemical properties, bioactivity and novel developments will be summarized and different application possibilities will be discussed. About 167 literatures were cited to summarize the advancement of schizophyllan in this paper.
