“…28 Lipids of Macrolepiota procera and Collybia platyphylla provoked an increase in erythrocyte membrane fluidity, a property beneficial for hypertension treatment. 29 The nutritional contribution of mushroom lipids is limited due to low total lipid content and a low proportion of desirable n-3 fatty acids. Nevertheless, linoleic acid is a precursor of the attractive smell of dried mushrooms.…”

A review of chemical composition and nutritional value of wild‐growing and cultivated mushrooms

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fruit bodies of about 200 mushroom species are consumed throughout the world, preferably as a delicacy. Knowledge of their chemical composition, nutritional value and health-promoting effects has expanded dynamically during the last few years. Dry matter (DM) is low: commonly about 100 g kg⁻¹ . The usual contents of protein, lipids and ash are 200-250, 20-30 and 80-120 g kg⁻¹ DM, respectively. Various carbohydrates form the remaining DM. Nevertheless, great variations occur both among and within species. Energy is low, usually 350-400 kcal kg⁻¹ of fresh fruit bodies. The nutritional contribution of mushroom protein derived from earlier data seems to be overestimated. Fat content is low with markedly prevailing in linoleic acid and oleic acid, while the proportion of n-3 fatty acids is nutritionally marginal. The main carbohydrates are chitin, glycogen, trehalose and mannitol. Information on fibre content and composition is limited. Health-promoting β-glucans are an auspicious group of polysaccharides. High potassium content is characteristic of mushrooms. Several species can accumulate very high levels of both detrimental trace elements, particularly cadmium and mercury, and radiocaesium isotopes if growing on heavily polluted substrates. Mushrooms seem to be a considerable source of ergosterol, provitamin D₂, and phenolids with antioxidative properties. Hundreds of flavour constituents have been identified, particularly with eight-carbon aliphatic chains. Data on changes of mushroom components under various preservation conditions and culinary treatments have been fragmentary. Even more limited is knowledge of nutrient bioavailability.

“…Apart from immune-boosting Wasser, 2002) and antitumor applications (Torisu et al, 1990;Tsang et al, 2008;Wasser, 2002), extracts of different mushrooms have also been found useful as antimicrobial (Alves et al, 2012) and antiviral (Adotey et al, 2011;Rincão et al, 2012) agents. They have also been found useful as lowering agents for serum lipids (Yoon et al, 2011a,b), blood sugar (Preuss et al, 2012;Ravi et al, 2013), and blood pressure (Abdullah et al, 2012;Mujić et al, 2011;Preuss et al, 2012), as well as many other therapeutic applications.…”

Context: Some edible mushrooms are reputed to possess useful medicinal properties which are related to their ability to modulate the protective responses of the immune system. Objective: This study explored the immunomodulatory and immunorestorative properties of a hot aqueous extract (APTR) and of a b-D-glucan-enriched polysaccharide fraction (BGP) of a local oyster mushroom Pleurutus tuberregium (Fr.) Singer (Pleurotaceae). Materials and methods: Immunomodulatory activities were investigated by assessing specific and none-specific immune responses in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed mice; as well as in vitro in culture of RAW264.7 macrophages stimulated with BGP. Results: In a homologous prime-boost immunization schedule, oral supplementation with APTR (100, 200, or 400 mg/kg) and BGP (100 or 200 mg/kg) resulted in significantly higher titers of total IgG, IgG 1 , and IgG 2a by as much as 2-4-folds compared with the levels in untreated control mice. The mean hemagglutination (HA) titer in immunized mice that were treated with dexamethasone (DEX; 5 mg/kg) was significantly (p50.05) lower than the titer in groups that did not receive dexamethasone; however, short-term alternate day administration of APTR (200 mg/kg) to mice that had been immunosuppressed with 5 mg DEX/kg produced significant increases in secondary anti-SRBC antibody compared with the mean titer of mice immunized and treated with DEX alone. In in vitro studies, stimulation of RAW264.7 macrophages with BGP caused significant increases in iNO and TNF-a expression, and phagocytic functions of the cell. Conclusion: Taken together, the results of these studies showed that P. tuberregium imparts immunostimulatory and immunorestorative effects that could be explained, in part, by the actions of its b-D-glucan constituent(s) on macrophages.

“…In recent years, the search for natural sources of functional nutrients as a food supplement has become common. Thus, it is quite important to investigate mushrooms, as a natural source of nutrients which have demonstrated potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, immunomodulatory, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective properties [1][2][3][4][5]. Since ancient times, mushrooms have been used for nutritional and medical purposes and are prevalent in several regions of the world [6][7][8].…”

Infundibulicybe geotropa (Bull.) Harmaja is an edible mushroom found in Bolu province in northwestern Turkey. The chemical composition and bioactivity of these mushrooms has not been previously investigated. We examined the phenolic composition, elemental content, and antioxidant and antigenotoxic effects of methanol extracts of fruiting bodies. The phenolic compounds in the fungal samples were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and element content was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were determined using the commercially available Rel assay kit. The antigenotoxic effects of the extract were determined using the MTT assay to assess cell viability and the alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis assay (Comet assay). The total phenolic content (ppm) of I. geotropa was found to be catechin (361±2.31), clorogenic acid (553.54±5.06), and coumaric acid (9.93±0.25). The TAS, TOS, and OSI of the extract were 1.854±0.051 mmol/L, 30.385±0.399 μmol/L, and 1.639±0.067, respectively. The elemental levels were within “normal” range. In HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells, the extract (100 and 200 μg/ml) showed no genotoxic potential and ameliorated hydrogen peroxide- (H2O2-) induced oxidative DNA damage. I. geotropa may be considered a good nutrient due to its phenolic constituents and antioxidant potential.
