Abstract: This investigation characterized the main chemical ingredients of submerged cultivation mycelium of Cordyceps sinensis. The contents of crude protein and crude fat were 24.53% and 6.69% respectively; The contents of adenosine, mannitol, intracellular polysaccharide and ergosterol were 0.3755, 88.80, 133.9 and 1.80 mg/g respectively. The level of main ingredients in the submerged cultivation mycelium was similar to that in the natural Cordyceps sinensis.

Key words: Cordyceps sinensis, submerged cultivation mycelium, chemical ingredients
