Studies on Pleurotus tuber-regium (Fries) Singer: cultivation, proximate composition and mineral contents of sclerotia

Physiochemical analysis and centesimal composition of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom grown in residues from the Amazon

“…A general analysis of the samples allowed the observation of a great variation in protein, lipid, ash, total carbohydrate, available carbohydrate and energy compositions in the mushrooms grown in all cultivation substrates, in agreement with several studies (FASIDI;EKUERE, 1993;OETTERER, 1995;WANG;SAKODA;SUZUKI, 2001;SILVA;COSTA;CLEMENTE, 2002;FURLANI, 2004;SAPATA, 2005;DAS;MUKHERJEE, 2007).…”

“…tuber-regium cultivation was tested by Fasidi and Ekuere (1993) in banana tree leaves, corncob, cotton residue and rice straw. The protein contents of the mushrooms grown in the respective dry residues were 16.8, 15.4, 15.1 and 13%, respectively.…”

“…There is great variability in the nutritional composition of mushrooms among the same species and among different species (FASIDI;EKUERE, 1993;OETTERER, 1995;WANG;SAKODA;SUZUKI, 2001;SILVA;COSTA;CLEMENTE, 2002;FURLANI, 2004;SAPATA, 2005;DAS;MUKHERJEE, 2007). These variations are due to the mushroom…”

Composição mineral de uma linhagem de Pleurotus ostreatus cultivada em resíduos madeireiros e agroindustriais da região amazônica

“…O mesmo foi relatado em estudos anteriores (CHANG; LAU; CHO, 1981;FASIDI;EKUERE, 1993;STURION, 1994;SILVA;COSTA;CLEMENTE, 1981). e Chang (1997); Vetter (1990;1994) Os constituintes minerais dos cogumelos são basicamente os mesmos das plantas superiores (MOLENA, 1986).…”

Assessment of the Phytochemical, Proximate, Mineral and Heavy metal constituents of some grass straws used in cultivating Pleurotus ostreatus var florida Eger.

“…When the straws are degraded, by the mushroom, useful nutrients are absorbed while the spent-straw serves as organic source of nutrient for crop production. Many researchers have investigated the potentials of achieving this by carrying out trials with different agro-wastes, banana leaves, corn cob, cottons wastes and rice straws to grow Pleurotus tuber-regium (Fasidi and Ekuere (1993)). Wheat straws has a potential of being utilized for commercial products of scleraotia of P. tuber-regium.…”
