“…NO radical scavenging assay NO, generated from sodium nitroprusside, was measured according to Nitha et al [36] A final volume of 0.1 mL of extract samples (final concentration: 66.67 µg/mL) in 0.2 mL of phosphate buffered saline containing sodium nitroprusside (5 mM) was incubated at 25°C for 150 min. Thereafter, aliquots of the mixture (0.5 mL) were removed and diluted with 0.5 mL of Griess reagent.…”

To comprehensively examine the antioxidant capacity of Perilla frutescens leaves extract, eight assays including hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, ferrous ionchelating, total antioxidant capacity, nitric oxide, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, and ferrous reducing antioxidant assays were employed. The results indicated that the ethyl acetatesoluble fraction of P. frutescens leaves extract displayed the highest antioxidant activities. The antioxidant constituents from ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of P. frutescens leaves extract were screened by 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl highperformance liquid chromatography, and 11 compounds were identified after isolation using step-wise high-speed countercurrent chromatography. Protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, luteolin, methyl-rosmarinic acid, apigenin, and 4′,5,7-trimethoxyflavone are the major antioxidant constituents in ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of P. frutescens leaves extract.

“…High protein content along with unique flavor and medicinal properties [13] is the main observable characteristic to consider this species as a famous edible mushroom [14]. ese fungi were found to have antiviral, antioxidative, and anticancer properties [15][16][17]. Submerge fermentation is advantageous due to cost-effectiveness, low temperature requirement, effective contamination control, and shorter fermentation time.…”

Morchella fungi are considered a good source of protein. The ITS region was used to identify Morchella isolated in the northern region of Iran. The isolated fungus was very similar to Morchella fluvialis. M. fluvialis was first isolated in Iran. Dried biomass of M. fluvialis contained 9% lipids and 50% polysaccharides. Fatty acid profiles of lipids of M. fluvialis are mainly made up of linoleic acid (C18:2) (62%), followed by palmitic acid (C16:0) (12%). Testosterone (TS) was also detected (0.732 ng/dry weight biomass (DWB)) in the hormone profile of this new isolated species. Then, various protein and carbon sources as variable factors were applied to identify the key substrates, which stimulated protein production using the one-factor-at-a-time method. Key substrates (glucose and soybean) were statistically analyzed to determine the optimum content of the protein and DWB accumulation using response surface methods. The highest protein content (38% DWB) was obtained in the medium containing 80 g/l glucose and 40 g/l soybean powder. Total nutritionally indispensable amino acids and conditionally indispensable amino acids constitute 55.7% crude protein. That is to say, these adequate quantities of essential amino acids in the protein of M. fluvialis make it a good and promising source of essential amino acids for human diet.

“…Mushroom nutraceuticals may possess both nutritional and medicinal properties. It is also understood that the mushroom may be a potential source of therapeutically useful antioxidants (Jayakumar et al, 2006;Nitha et al, 2010;Sudha et al, 2008). Wild mushrooms are a popular food and medicinal source in many parts of India.…”

Diversity of Wild Edible Mushrooms in Indian Subcontinent and Its Neighboring Countries

Mushrooms are cosmopolitan heterotrophic organisms that are quite specific in their nutritional and ecological requirements. They are among the most relished food commodities among a number of nonconventional foodstuffs primarily because of their unique flavor and texture. Wild edible mushrooms have been collected and consumed by people since thousands of years. Mushrooms have been exploited commercially the world over. In India due to its diverse climatic conditions, many types of mushrooms are found in the wild. The knowledge of their historical uses as food, medicine, a source of income, and for small-scale businesses and the sociological impacts (myth, culture, and spirituality) are apparently threatened due to slow ethnomycology-research drive.
