Extracted ganoderma iucidum spore obtained from community enterprise “farm haid klang ban” for being used as a key ingredient in cosmetic products

Abstract

The research team aimed to develop the cracking and extracting processes for Ganoderma lucidum (Red Lingzhi) spores and transfer the technology in the form of soap bar and liquid products together with the cracking and extraction process to the community at Farm Haid Klang Ban in Pathumthani Province. From the study, since higher more bioactive compounds found in the aforementioned Ganoderma (Lingzhi) spore extracts over its basidiospore itself, the optimized breaking and extraction procedure were composed of freezing at -20oC for 2 days, bead beating for 5 minutes, and then spore fermented with Lactobacillus spp. at room temperature for 24 hours. The processes could provide more than 65 percentages of the spore fracture efficiency and obtain more active substances such as polysaccharides and triterpenoids Moreover, the spore extraction process was required by shaking in ethanol dissolved in distilled water at the ratio 80:20 for 2 hours. The obtained bioactive Lingzhi spore extracts as one active ingredient was added into the saponification process to make soap bar and liquid product. It was found that the soap products could create satisfaction and good feedback from high-level consumers of the farm community in Pathumthani Province. The research should, therefore, be successfully applied in the form of commercial red lingzhi extract soap in the manner of integration of science and community with knowledge of efficient Red Lingzhi spore cultivation and separation. It can help the development of community enterprises can bring up sustainable economic development in the country in the future.
