Nutritional value and health-promoting properties of Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach

Abstract

Summary The white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach is an edible mushroom of top economic significance. In recent years the consumption of fruiting bodies of this species has been increasing in Poland. The article characterises the chemical composition and health-promoting properties of white button mushrooms. The latest scientific research confirms that the fruiting bodies of white button mushroom have high nutritional value. They contain good quality proteins, necessary unsaturated fatty acids, fibre, some vitamins and numerous minerals. Apart from that, white button mushroom fruiting bodies contain a wide range of bioactive substances, which have a positive influence on health, such as polysaccharides, glyco-proteins, tocopherols, polyphenols and other antioxidants, e.g. ergothioneine. Apart from the antioxidant properties, the white button mushroom also has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, anticancer, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective and anti-atherosclerotic activities.

Micronutrients Analysis of Fresh and Canned “Agaricus Bisporus” and “Pleurotus Ostreatus” Mushroom Sold in Alexandria Markets, Egypt

“…Other study reported that, the calcium, respectively [24]. There was a higher content of most minerals in the cap than in the stem of the mushroom except iron and calcium, which were more abundant in the stem [21].…”

“…From the mineral analysis reported in this study, it seems that the two mushrooms can provide a useful They provide about hence recommendation daily intake for potassium at 4700 mg per day for men and women, recommendation daily intake for iron 8 mg per day for men ages 19-50 years and postmenopausal women, for females ages 19-50 years is significantly higher at 18 mg per day and recommendation daily intake for calcium for both men and women, ages 19-50 years 1000 mg per day, the recommendations are higher for men and women 9-18 years old 1300 mg per day [20]. A Previous study reported that potassium alone constituted 45 percent of the total ash content of mushroom [21].…”

Metabolomics and transcriptomics unravel the mechanism of browning resistance in Agaricus bisporus

“…A . bisporus contains tyrosinase, rich selenium and vitamins, significantly reducing cholesterol and blood pressure [ 3 ]. In recent years, due to the successful realization of mushroom’s deep culture technology, people can use mushroom mycelium to produce some substances such as protein, mycosaccharide and oxalic acid.…”
