The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

As a natural pigment, cordycepic carotenoids have many bioactive functions, such as antiinflammation, anticancer, and antioxidation. In addition, the good coloring of this hydrophilic pigment enables it to have wide application in the food industry. This study investigated five species of fungal elicitors, namely, Rhodotorula glutinis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Monascus ruber, Blakeslea trispora, and Flammulina velutipes, to evaluate their effects on carotenoid accumulation in Cordyceps militaris. Results showed that all fungal elicitors, except Rh. glutinis, have no positive effect on the biosynthesis of cordycepic carotenoids. The Rh. glutinis elicitor remarkably stimulated the accumulation of carotenoids with a 13.72% increase compared with the control. Subsequently, the entire Rh. glutinis elicitor (part NHK) was divided into three parts, namely, exopolysaccharide (EPS) (part E), mixture of EPS and protein (part PE), and other components (part O), to analyze their effects on carotenoid accumulations. Results showed that part O may be the effective component that remarkably stimulates the biosynthesis of carotenoids with a 26% increase compared with the control. This research demonstrated that Rh. glutinis elicitor can effectively increase the content of natural carotenoids in C. militaris, and provided an important reference for the development and utilization of carotenoid industrialization.
