Some Bioactive Properties of Wild and Commercial Mushroom Species

Abstract

Abstract:In this study, the protein and total phenolic contents of some commercially cultivated (Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus) and wild mushrooms (Amanita caesarea, Fistulina hepatica, Meripilus giganteus) were determined. Antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of these mushrooms against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhimurium, Acinetobacter haemolyticus, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans were also investigated. The protein contents, total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities of the mushrooms were found in the range of 11.00 -25.1%, 1.111 -3.858 mg GAE g -1 , and 1.528 -9.340 μmol FeSO4·7H2O g -1 , respectively. Meripilus giganteus had higher protein than all the tested mushrooms. The highest total phenolic content was detected in Agaricus bisporus obtained from B company (3.858 mg GAE g -1 ), whereas the lowest total phenolic content was observed in Meripilus giganteus (1.111 mg GAE g -1 ). Total phenolic and antioxidant properties of mushrooms were found significantly different (P<0.05) by Duncan's multiple range test. Methanolic extracts of the tested mushrooms showed no inhibitory activity against bacteria and yeast.

“…It has been found that mushrooms also have various pharmacological properties in addition to their nutritional value. Previous studies have reported that mushrooms had antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiproliferative, DNA-protective, antiallergic, analgesic, antitumor, immunosuppressive, antiatherogenic, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective activities (Yang et al 2008, Hetland et al 2011, Patel and Goyal 2012, Ren et al 2012, Li et al 2013, Soares et al 2013, Sun et al 2014, Elsayed et al 2014, Yıldız et al 2015, Bal et al 2017, Béni et al 2018. Also, it has been found that Lycoperdon sp.…”
