Abstract

Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis was applied to the fruit-body (pileus and stipe) and mycelium, of shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes). Thermograms of each sample indicated distinctive patterns. However, chemical and infrared (IR) spectroscopic analyses showed that the compositions of pileus and stipe were similar to each other and different from that of mycelium. Because the DSC thermogram depends not only on chemical composition but also on physical properties such as density, the result of DSC analysis was assumed to indicate a difference in the state of cell wall between pileus and stipe.
