Determination Phospholipids of Wild Edible Mushrooms (Suillus Luteus)

Abstract

Mushroom samples were collected in 2017 and 2018 from the Batak mountain by the authors themselves. The aim of this study was to determine phospholipids composition of species wild edible mushrooms (Suillus luteus) grown in the Batak mountain, Bulgaria. Phosphatidic acids were the main components in lipids from Suillus luteus (34.2 %). The content of the other phospholipids in the oils from Suillus luteus was from 8.4 to 19.6%. Phosphatidylcholine was identified in Suillus luteus (19.6 %). Based on the results, can be concluded that the examined species of mushrooms is a potential source of phospholipids and can be used as a functional food or as food additives in many products.
