Antioxidative activities of 62 wild mushrooms from Nepal and the phenolic profile of some selected species

Abstract: Mushrooms have garnered immense popularity for their nutritional as well as medicinal values. The therapeutic potential of mushrooms in Nepal, a country well known for its biodiversity and natural medicinal resources, remains largely unstudied. Therefore, this study attempts to unveil the antioxidative properties of Nepalese wild mushrooms. Sixty-two wild mushroom samples were collected from several forests in different parts of Nepal. Ethanol and water extracts of the dried samples were tested for their antio… Show more

“…Phenolic compounds are an important group of compounds responsible for the antibacterial activity of mushrooms [27]. Previous investigations of the total phenolic content of the ethanol extracts of Nepalese wild mushrooms [13,14] showed very high phenolic content in I. clemensiae, I. andersonii, I. cuticularis, C. setiporus and Pseudomerulius curtisii. However, the very low phenolic content in P. stiptica, M. mucida, Gymnopus sp.…”

“…There are also reducing agents like ascorbic acid and flavonoids contributing in lower values [88, 89]. Phenolic components are potential antioxidants which can donate hydrogen to free radicals to terminate the chain reaction of lipid oxidation at the initial stage.…”

“…It has been previously reported that constituent compounds of macrofungi have cytotoxic, antinociceptic, and immunomodulatory properties. 2,3,4 Alternative antibacterials and antioxidants have been found in compounds from the environment. The growing potentials of mushrooms have also encompassed such properties as it has been confirmed that its chemical components also have antibacterial 5 and antioxidant activities by radical and metal-scavenging.…”
