“…The observation made by Okolie and Gbuji (2002) that some indigenous mushrooms recorded non-toxic level of cyanide gave credence to the bioaccumulation potential of mushrooms. Ukpebor et al (2007) has also implicated mushrooms in cassava processing. The ex situ application of mushrooms in tackling various oil-spill and heavy metal contamination challenges in Nigeria is uncommon due to failure of field trials of laboratory results (Oghenekaro et al, 2008).…”

“…Salah satu kendala kurang optimalnya pemanfaatan biji karet sebagai bahan pangan adalah adanya asam sianida (HCN) yang terkandung dalam biji karet. Penelitian terkait teknik reduksi HCN telah dilakukan sebelumnya (Ukpebor et al 2007;Eka et al 2010;Salimon et al 2012;Rivai dan Herwitarahman 2014). Sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi terkait proses pengolahan biji karet yang aman dikonsumsi serta mendapatkan produk akhir panganan yang berbahan baku biji karet.…”

Abstrak. Rivai RR, Damayanti F, Handayani M. 2015. Pengembangan potensi biji karet (Hevea brasiliensis) sebagai bahan pangan alternatif di Bengkulu Utara. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 1 (2): 343-346. Sumatera merupakan salah satu wilayah sentra karet di Indonesia, termasuk Provinsi Bengkulu. Biji karet sebagai bahan pangan belum sepenuhnya dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat, padahal setiap tanaman karet mampu menghasilkan biji sekitar 0,8-1,2 ton/ ha/ tahun (untuk tanaman dengan usia lebih dari 4 tahun). Biji karet memiliki proporsi bagian yang dapat dikonsumsi sekitar 57%. Selain itu, biji karet memiliki kandungan gizi khususnya protein yang tinggi. Kandungan asam sianida (HCN) yang terdapat dalam biji karet menjadi salah satu kendala masyarakat untuk mengolah panganan yang berasal dari biji karet. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi terkait proses pengolahan biji karet yang aman untuk dikonsumsi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Kecamatan Giri Mulya, Kabupaten Bengkulu Utara, Provinsi Bengkulu. Perendaman dan perebusan terbukti dapat mereduksi kandungan asam sianida yang terdapat dalam biji karet. Biji karet yang telah aman dikonsumsi dapat dijadikan berbagai panganan seperti keripik, tempeyek, dan isi dadar gulung. Kata kunci: Bengkulu, biji karet, panganAbstract. Rivai RR, Damayanti F, Handayani M. 2015. Potential development of rubber seed (Hevea brasiliensis) as an alternative food in North Bengkulu. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 1 (2): 343-346. Sumatra is a regional center for rubber production in Indonesia, including Bengkulu Province. Seeds of rubber trees have not been utilized yet as an alternative food source. Whereas, each rubber tree (4-year old) can produce 0.8-1.2 ton seeds/ha/year. Approximately 57% of the seed's proportion can be consumed. In addition, the seed also has high nutrition content, especially protein. However, the seeds also contain hydrogen cyanide (HCN) compound which is a toxin for the human. Consequently, the objective of this research was to provide information about the seed processing which would be safe for human consumption. The research was conducted at Giri Mulya Subdistrict, North Bengkulu District, Bengkulu Province. Soaking and boiling were proven to decrease the concentration of HCN within the rubber seed. The safelyprocessed rubber seeds could become various snack food, such as crispy chips, "tempeyek" and "dadar gulung" filler.

“…Mushroom has a high concentration of tryptophan and lysine as compared to cysteine and methionine. They are also a good source of ascorbic acid and pantothenic acid as well as an excellent source of nicotinic acid and riboflavin ( Ukpebor et al, 2007 ; Seo and Choi, 2021 ). Mushroom is also an ideal food for persons who wants to reduce excess fat as well as for diabetic patients due to the absence of starch.…”

BackgroundMushrooms exist as an integral and vital component of the ecosystem and are very precious fungi. Mushrooms have been traditionally used in herbal medicines for many centuries.Scope and ApproachThere are a variety of medicinal mushrooms mentioned in the current work such as Agaricus, Amanita, Calocybe, Cantharellus, Cordyceps, Coprinus, Cortinarius, Ganoderma, Grifola, Huitlacoche, Hydnum, Lentinus, Morchella, Pleurotus, Rigidoporus, Tremella, Trametes sp., etc., which play a vital role in various diseases because of several metabolic components and nutritional values. Medicinal mushrooms can be identified morphologically on the basis of their size, color (white, black, yellow, brown, cream, pink and purple-brown, etc.), chemical reactions, consistency of the stalk and cap, mode of attachment of the gills to the stalk, and spore color and mass, and further identified at a molecular level by Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions of gene sequencing. There are also other methods that have recently begun to be used for the identification of mushrooms such as high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), microscopy, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), DNA sequencing, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), chemical finger printing, ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LCMS-TOF) and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). Lately, the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technique is also used for the identification of fungi.Key Finding and ConclusionMedicinal mushrooms possess various biological activities like anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-microbial, hepatoprotective, anti-HIV, anti-diabetic, and many others that will be mentioned in this article. This manuscript will provide future direction, action mechanisms, applications, and the recent collective information of medicinal mushrooms. In addition to many unknown metabolites and patented active metabolites are also included.
