Abstract
In recent years, edible and medicinal fungi attract more and more interest for their various biological functions and they have become a research focus. Polysaccharide of Coriolus versicolor is isolated from Coriolus versicolor or its broth, and gained much attention from the industries of medicine, food, cosmetics and even chemistry, and so on because of its superior biological activity and functions. This paper reviews the recent studies on polysaccharide from Coriolus versicolor, about its structure, properties, fermentation, purification, application, market, and prospects. It is also a comprehensive survey of polysaccharide for further research and development.
