Three species of medicinal mushrooms are commercially available in Taiwan, namely, Ganoderma lucidum (Ling-chih), tsugae (Sung-shan-ling-chih), and Coriolus versicolor (Yun-chih). Methanolic extracts were prepared from these their antioxidant properties studied. At 0.6 mg/mL, G. lucidum, antler, showed an excellent activity (2.30-6.41% lipid peroxidation), whereas C. only 58.56%. 4 reducing powers the order (2.38) approximately antler (2.28) > (1.62) (0.79). 0.64 scavenging effects on...
Five kinds of ear mushrooms are commercially available in Taiwan, including black, red, jin, snow, and silver ears. Methanolic extracts were prepared from these mushrooms, their antioxidant properties studied. For all methanolic the activities 1,3-diethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid method moderate (38.6∼74.6%) at 1.0−5.0 mg/mL. snow ears showed excellent conjugated diene 5.0 At mg/mL, reducing powers descending order > black ≈ red jin The scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl...
This research gives the results of a proximate analysis (moisture, ash, crude protein, fat, total carbohydrates, and energy); bioactive compounds (γ−aminobutyric acid [GABA], ergothioneine, lovastatin, cordycepin); fatty amino analysis; an macro- microelement content fruit bodies mycelia 15 higher Basidiomycetes medicinal mushroom strains belonging to 12 species. The obtained demonstrate that almost all investigated mushrooms were found be good sources proteins with varying in ranges...
Extracts were prepared from Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum), cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), and corni fructus (Cornus officinalis) used to evaluate their antimicrobial activity on common foodborne microorganisms, alone in combination. The mixed extract, consisting of three extracts equal volumes, showed an entire spectrum had excellent stability heat, pH, storage. extract exhibited better inhibition growth Escherichia coli than potassium sorbate at 2-5 mg/mL. inhibited the Pichia...
ABSTRACT: Mushrooms impart to food the second functionality of tasty properties. Th e typical mush-room fl avor consists water-soluble taste components including free amino acids and 5′-nucleotides. umami taste, also called palatable is an overall induced or enhanced by mono-sodium glutamate (MSG). mushrooms can be greatly increased synergistic eff ect 5 ′-nucleotides acids. equivalent concentration (EUC) MSG intensity that given mixture 5′-nucleotide. article summarizes results mushroom from...
Straw mushrooms were harvested at different stages of maturity. The volatile flavor compounds found in straw limonene, octa-1,5-dien-3-ol, 3-octanol, 1-octen-3-ol, 1-octanol, and 2-octen-1-ol, which the major compound was accounting for 71.6−83.1% total volatiles. More mature possessed most aroma. high trehalose (349.0−457.6 mg/g dry weight) low mannitol (0−25.5 mg/g). During development fruiting bodies, contents free amino acids monosodium glutamate components, including aspartic glutamic...
