Abstract excerpt
Comprehensive review of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) for bioactive compounds from medicinal mushrooms (Ganoderma, Hericium, Trametes, Pleurotus, Lentinula). UAE produces yield improvements of 20-60% over conventional reflux and Soxhlet extraction across compound classes (β-glucans, triterpenes, phenolics, ergosterol), with extraction time reductions of 50-80%. Key process variables: probe power (typically 100-500 W bench-scale), frequency (20-40 kHz), solvent ratio, particle size, and duty cycle. Cooling jackets are required for thermolabile compounds.

How to read this paper
The single best literature anchor for UAE on medicinal mushrooms. We cite this as the foundation for the bench-scale SOP at /mushrooms/research/extraction. If you read one extraction paper, read this one.
