The aim of the study was to investigate antioxidant properties, phenolic and flavonoid contents composition content ascorbic acid in Pleurotus ostreatus eryngii enriched simultaneously with selenium (Se) zinc (Zn). Non-enriched mushrooms contained Se Zn at level as most popular mushrooms. total (TPC) for non-enriched P. 9.64 ± 0.33 7.91 1.02 mg/g extract, 2.11 0.19 1.26 0.17 ranged from 10.28 0.39 16.64 0.47 mg/100 g DW, respectively. Methanolic extracts 4-hydroxybenzoic, ferulic,...
In the study effect of drying temperature on phenolic and organic acid content, total ergosterol antioxidant activity content 40 elements in fruiting bodies Leccinum scabrum Hericium erinaceus was estimated. The analysis performed for fresh those dried at 20, 70 °C. Drying resulted changes profile acids. generally losses phenolics, both species. However, a reduction an increase acids were observed. greatest compounds observed concerned (some single components total) (even more than 90% some...
Considering the worldwide popularity of cultivated Pleurotus mushrooms as food, analyses their chemical composition are required to ensure product safety. The aim this study was compare content 62 elements in fruit bodies six species genus (five strains ostreatus, eryngii, djamor, citrinopileatus, florida, and pulmonarius), collected from producers between 2009 2015. Only 31 (Al, As, B, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Er, Fe, In, K, Lu, Mg, Mn, Na, Nd, P, Pb, Pt, Re, Rh, Sc, Se, Sr, Te, Th, Ti, Tm, U, Zn,...
The aim of the study was to estimate content macroelements (Ca, K, Mg, Na), ergosterol, ascorbic acid, and profile phenolic compounds in seventeen wild growing edible mushrooms from Poland. Mean Ca, Na wood-growing 315, 12,402, 597, 130 mg/kg DM. Soil-growing species contained 246, 15,586, 531, 114 DM, respectively. highest total flavonoid contents were confirmed for Leccinum scabrum (9.24 0.77 mg/g DM). acid indicated Calvatia gigantea (108.11 richest Lepista gilva L. scabrum. soil-growing...
The aim of this work was to compare 10 mostly edible aboveground and wood-growing mushroom species collected near a heavily trafficked road (approximately 28,000 vehicles per 24 h) in Poland with regard their capacity accumulate 26 trace elements (Ag, Al, As, Au, B, Ba, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, In, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Re, Sb, Se, Sr, Te, Tl, Zn) fruit bodies order illustrate diversity element accumulation. All analyses were performed using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission...
The chemical composition of wood depends on many factors, including plant growth conditions. Among the dangerous elements it was decided in this study to select arsenic various forms: As(III), As(V) and cacodylic acid (DMAA), as well concentrations mutual combinations. experiment conducted 1-year old elm seedlings planted pots with an addition Knop medium arsenic. Supplementation substrate each form caused changes contents cellulose lignin extractive substances those soluble 1% NaOH. Arsenic...
The aim of this study was to evaluate Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn accumulation in six edible mushroom species assess their risk benefits human consumers. Mushrooms (Leccinium aurantiacum, Xerocomus badius, Lactarius deliciosus, Boletus edulis, Cantharellus cibarius Suillus luteus) were collected from selected regions Poland during 1990-2010. highest diversity between studied observed terms Cu accumulation. Significant differences the efficiency found among examined. most efficient...
Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) is an important culinary and medicinal species of worldwide importance. The present study investigated for the first time whether it may be grown on substrates supplemented with Se alone or in combination Cu and/or Zn (0.1-0.8 mmol L-1 ) to produce fruiting bodies increased nutritional value.As found, substrate supplementation did not affect yielded biomass up 0.6 element concentrations regardless cultivation model. At 0.8 + comparable controls still...
The aim of the study was to (i) investigate potential edible mushroom Boletus badius (Fr.) Fr. accumulate 53 elements from unpolluted acidic sandy soil and polluted alkaline flotation tailing sites in Poland, (ii) estimate low-molecular-weight organic acid (LMWOA) profile contents fruit bodies, finally (iii) explore possible relationship between LMWOA content mushrooms. most fruiting bodies collected tailings significantly higher than mushrooms soils. occurrence determined B. has been varied...
Copper mining generates large quantities of waste, tailings, and acid outflows causing long-term environmental impacts potential threats to human health. Valea Şesei is the largest tailing impoundment in Romania, created by flooding valley (known as Şesei) Metalliferous Mountains (a division Apuseni Mountains) with copper waste. The present study (i) estimated total volume tailings this area; (ii) screened concentration 65 elements (rare earth platinum group elements, alkali metals metals,...
Ganoderma lucidum is an important medicinal mushroom species and there continuous interest in its bioactive properties. This study evaluated whether it may additionally serve as a nutritional supplement for the trace elements: selenium (Se), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn). Mushrooms were cultivated on substrates enriched with 0.1 to 0.8 mM of inorganic Se alone or combination Zn and/or Cu. Supplementation increased accumulation elements fruiting bodies regardless applied cultivation model. G....
