Content of Purine in Mushroom Fruiting Bodies and Mycelia

Abstract

Levels of purine bases (adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine) were determined in 29 species of mushroom fruit body and mycelia from the Taiwan. Changes in purine-related compounds of mushroom during storage and cooking were investigated. Freeze-dried were hydrolyzed with water-trifluoroacetic acid-formic acid (1:5:5, v/v/v) at 120 ∘ C for 30 min for the quantitative liberation of bases from nucleic acids. Purine bases were then analyzed by reverse-phase liquid chromatography. The results indicated that total purine amounts in most mushroom fruit body were higher than mushroom mycelia. The principal purine bases were xanthine and adenine, and xanthine content was the highest in fruit body. The principal purine bases were hypoxanthine and adenine, and hypoxanthine content was the highest in mycelia. The purine content of mushroom differed depending on species, part, storage and cooking, which could be recommended for consumers as a healthy diet, especially for people with hyperuricemia and gout.  Index Terms-purine, mushroom, HPLC, storage, cooking II. MATERIALS AND METHODS A. Standards and Chemicals Standards were obtained from Sigma Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO, USA). The purines used in this study were adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine, which were chromatography-grade and all assayed at more than 98% purity. Potassium acetate, trimethylamine, trifluoroacetic acid, and formic acid were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany); they were all guaranteed reagents (GR). B. Mushroom Collection Totally, 29 species of mushrooms were used and categorized into edible and medicinal mushrooms. Nineteen species of mushroom fruiting bodies, including

Associations between dietary patterns and serum uric acid concentrations in children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study

Isolasi, Identifikasi, dan Produksi Miselia Rhizopus sp. Berkadar Asam Nukleat Rendah untuk Pengembangan Mikoprotein

“…Miselia cendawan merupakan bahan pangan berprotein tinggi, tetapi seperti halnya produk makanan yang berasal dari mikroorganisme, cendawan dapat mengandung asam nukleat yang tinggi. Konsumsi asam nukleat berlebih pada manusia, yaitu 400 mg/hari, dapat mengakibatkan akumulasi pada tubuh yang dapat menyebabkan penyakit gout pada persendian (Kaneko et al 2014;Huang et al 2017). Kandungan asam nukleat maksimum dalam produk pangan yang diperkenankan ialah 2% (Graham & Ladesma-Amaro 2023).…”
