A comprehensive study on phenolic compounds and bioactive properties of five mushroom species via chemometric approach

Abstract

Mushrooms are considered as valuable foods in many cultures due to their unique aroma, taste, nutritional properties, and biological activities (Ferreira et al., 2010;Heleno, Barros, et al., 2015). Although there is a long past of the utilization of mushrooms by human beings for food and medical purposes, scientific interest in examining their secondary metabolites and chemical composition has started to increase in recent years (Paterson, 2006). Mushrooms are possible sources of different antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and antiviral agents, thanks to a diverse range of bioactive compounds, including nucleotides, phenols, steroids, glycoprotein, terpenoid derivatives, and polysaccharides (Sokovic et al., 2017;Wasser, 2011).

Possibilities of Using Macrolepiota procera in the Production of Prohealth Food and in Medicine

“…Interesting, especially from the point of view of food producers, is the presence of fumaric acid in the fruiting bodies of parasol mushroom [ 113 ]. This substance is used as a preservative, acidity regulator, and antioxidant in food production processes (E297).…”

Characterization of Polysaccharide Extracts of Four Edible Mushrooms and Determination of In Vitro Antioxidant, Enzyme Inhibition and Anticancer Activities

“…23 Also, phenolic and triterpene compounds and antioxidant, antiproliferative, and anticholinesterase activities of different extracts of this mushroom were investigated in earlier studies. 24,25 In recent years, the remarkable bioactive properties of mushrooms have been attributed to their polysaccharide contents, and interest in the study of polysaccharides has increased. When no studies have been reported on H. pudorinus and C. truncatus polysaccharides, there are limited number of studies on C. tubaeformis and M. procera polysaccharides.…”

Mycelium polysaccharides of Macrolepiota procera alleviate reproductive impairments induced by nonylphenol

“…15 It is also known as a parasol mushroom on account of the large and conspicuous fruiting body like a parasol. 16,17 Abundant nutritional contents and bioactive substances have been identified in M. procera, such as polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, triterpenes, sterols, fatty acids, free amino acids and organic acids. 18,19 Therefore, in addition to being considered a popular food source, especially in Europe, the diverse bioactive properties of M. procera have also aroused people's concerns.…”
