Abstract

The components in Ganoderma, including triterpenes, polysaccharides, nucleosides or nucleobases, steroids, and ergothioneine, were quantitatively analyzed. Among them, the quantitative analysis of triterpenes and polysaccharides were recorded in US Pharmacopeia. HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS are the most popular quantitative methods for all of these compounds.

Keywords: Ergothioneine; Ganoderma; Nucleosides or nucleobases; Polysaccharides; Quantitative analysis; Steroids; Triterpenes.
