The present invention discloses the active substances for preventing hearing deterioration, its preparation method, the pharmaceutical composition containing the active substances, and the preparation method of the pharmaceutical composition. The preparation method of the active substances is performed by plate cultivation, flask cultivation and fermentation tank cultivation, to obtain the active substances of Hericium erinaceus mycelia in powder form. The powder of H. erinaceus mycelia is proved to have the effect of preventing hearing deterioration.

Provided is a process of stabilizing active ingredients of plant materials in an aqueous suspension, the process including: extracting one or more active ingredients of a plant material using an extraction solvent, wherein the extraction of the one or more active ingredients of the plant materials comprises: transferring the plant material into a temperature-controlled reactor; adding the extraction solvent to the temperature-controlled reactor, thereby producing an eluant from the plant material; incubating the eluant at a first selected temperature for a pre-determined duration of time; and running the eluent through a filtration process to obtain an extractant solution filtrate and a separated solid plan material product; encapsulating the one or more active ingredients in one or more nanoparticles; and dispersing the one or more nanoparticles in an aqueous suspension.

A composition containing edelweiss-derived exosomes as an active ingredient is provided for skin elasticity improvement, skin wrinkle reduction, skin regeneration, anti-inflammation, wound healing or wound healing acceleration. The composition is less likely to contain impurities such as growth regulation factors than conditioned media of edelweiss callus, or filtrates or extracts thereof, and has excellent effects on skin elasticity improvement, skin wrinkle reduction, skin regeneration, anti-inflammation, wound healing and/or wound healing acceleration.

This disclosure relates to methods and compositions with enhanced levels of one or more tyramine containing hydroxycinnamic acid amides. Also disclosed herein are methods for producing a consumable product with enhanced levels of a tyramine containing hydroxycinnamic acid amide. Some embodiments relate to a composition enriched with a tyramine containing hydroxycinnamic acid.

The present invention relates to a blood pressure lowering composition which contains as an active ingredient exopolysaccharide produced by means of Ceriporia lacerata, a Ceriporia lacerata mycelium culture medium comprising same, or dry powder or an extract of same. The composition can be used as an antihypertensive for preventing or treating hypertension or cerebral apoplexy or as a functional health food having antihypertensive effect.

A system and method for creating a botanical extract. The system comprising a grow light optimized to stimulate growth of the selected plant and an extractor using supercritical CO.sub.2 to obtain the extract.

The invention is a method for enhanced growth of mycelium in culture including the key steps of seed blend choice from among corn, rice, quinoa, chia, canihua, cumin and flax seed, germinating the seed blend prior to inoculating the mycelium starter, and conducting the mushroom cultivation with water and particular transmissions of sound and particularly colored light. Mushrooms grown by such a method not only mature in 13-15 days rather than 21 days, but have an enhanced nutritional and medicinal profile along with absence of unwanted organism contaminants whose unwanted overgrowth occurs during days 16-21 (or days 16-28) of typical mushroom culture.

This invention describes a new method to maximize the epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) content of brewed tea made using leaves and buds from C. sinensis. Unlike conventional tea processing methods, the method of the invention aims to minimize the leaf withering step, the oxidation step and any heating steps, all of which are present in many conventional tea processing methods. The method of the invention treats minimally withered tea leaf and bud material with an acid treatment and then a maceration treatment, optionally freezing the acid-treated material for storage purposes. The brewed tea resulting from the acid-treated and macerated leaves has a significantly higher EGCG content than conventionally produced teas.

The present invention is related to an active substance of Hericium erinaceus having a pain-relieving effect, and a pharmaceutical composition including the active substance. The active substance is prepared using the following steps: (a) inoculating a mycelium of H. erinaceus on an agar plate and incubating at 15-32° C. for 8-16 days; (b) inoculating the incubated H. erinaceus mycelia from step (a) into a medium in a flask and incubating at 20-30° C. and pH 4.5-6.5 for 3-5 days; (c) inoculating the incubated H. erinaceus mycelia from step (b) into a medium in a fermentation tank and incubating at 24-32° C. and pH 4.5-5.5 for 8-16 days to obtain a fermented medium of the H. erinaceus mycelia; and (d) desiccating the fermented medium of the H. erinaceus mycelia from step (c) to obtain the powder of the H. erinaceus mycelia, which is further purified and isolated to obtain a novel compound of H. erinaceus.
