Nutritional and Bioactive Properties of an Amazon Wild Oyster Culinary-Medicinal Mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus (Agaricomycetes): Contributions to Functional Food and Human Health

Investigation into the Intake of Edible Mushroom <i>Pleurotus ostreatus</i> (Aqueous Extract Oyster Mushroom) on Biochemical Indices of Female Wistar Rats

“…AEOM is an extract based on P. ostreatus, an edible mushroom important source of bioactive compounds [1]. For this reason, edible mushroom extracts have been used as dietary supplements and recommended for the prevention and treatment of various diseases [45].…”

“…Pleurotus ostreatus, popularly known as oyster mushroom, is a type of edible mush-room widely cultivated worldwide in different lignocellulosic residues [1]. Provide important nutrients (selenium, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin D, protein and fiber) and bioactive compounds (lectins, proteases, fibrinolytic enzymes, protease inhibitors, and phenolic compounds) [1]- [9].…”

Provide important nutrients (selenium, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin D, protein and fiber) and bioactive compounds (lectins, proteases, fibrinolytic enzymes, protease inhibitors, and phenolic compounds) [1]- [9]. Studies report that their bioactive compounds are responsible by effects anti-inflammatory [10], antinociceptive [11], antioxidant [12] [13] [14] [15], antitumour [16] [17] [18], enhancer of iron bioavailability [19], gastroprotective [20], hepatoprotective [21] [22] [23], hypocholesterolemic [12] [24] [25] [26], hipoglycemic [2] [25] [27]- [39], immunomodulador [4] and nephroprotective [40] [41] (Figure 1).…”

Cellulase and Xylanase production by Ganoderma lucidum in solid-state fermentation using amazonian lignocellulosic wastes

“…The wood of this species is light or beigeyellow to cream, and it is used in the furniture industry and in the manufacture of toys, linings and boxes (PAULA et al, 2020). Waste from economic activities that Studies in Engineering and Exact Sciences, Curitiba, v.3, n.3, p. 455-471, jul./sep., 2022 involve both these species is already known to have potential for mushroom cultivation, which could help to reducing the amount of waste in landfills and could generate value-added products (AGUIAR et al, 2021;SALES-CAMPOS et al, 2021).…”
