Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Cosmeceutical Potential of Wild Mushroom Extracts

Macrofungi have been previously studied for their nutritional value and medicinal properties. However, despite wild mushrooms being a great source of beneficial bioactive compounds, the literature exploring biotechnological application as nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals nutricosmetics is scarce. In this work, species Butyriboletus regius, Ganoderma lucidum, Inonotus hispidus, Lanmaoa fragrans, Pisolithus tinctorius, Suillellus luridus, mendax Xerocomus subtomentosus were characterized according to phenolic composition, antioxidant capacity, antimicrobial activity cosmeceutical potential. For that purpose, dried ground extracted with ethanol (40% v/v) using ultrasound-assisted extraction. Of eight analyzed, I. hispidus P. tinctorius stood out high content capacity anti-hyaluronidase activity. Regarding activity, both showed good inhibition bacterial growth bactericidal especially on Gram-positive bacteria; however, L. fragans obtained best results. Cream formulations extracts in composition improved These results indicate can be proposed new potential natural compounds cosmetic industry.
