Investigations on the antioxidant potential of the methanolic extract of two wild edible mushrooms, namely (L. ex Pers.) Fr. and Natarajan from Anantapur city in the arid zone of Andhra Pradesh, India has been included in this manuscript. Different concentrations (0.25-1.25 mg/mL) of extract were used for the assays. Out of the two mushrooms, show very high antioxidant properties in terms of total phenolic content (93.08±2.02 mM GAEs/g at 1.25mg/mL), DPPH radical scavenging activity (91.69±0.15% at 1mg/mL), ABTS radical scavenging assay (98.53±1.50% at 1mg/mL), ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (36.50±0.1 trolox equivalents/mg at 1.25mg/mL) and ferrous-ion chelating activity (89.50±0.46% at 1.25mg/mL).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
