Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi mushroom) has well known history of use with regards to ensuring health effects and longevity in Asian countries. Besides, it an antioxidative protection system protect the living organism from action free radicals. This study examines bioactive properties powder form G. as a natural functional agent antimicrobial 5 different commercially sold mushrooms were investigated against various pathogenic bacteria molds. For this purpose, phenolic content, antioxidant capacity samples determined. The food-related (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Listeria monocytogenes 7644, Salmonella enterica subsp. serovar Enteritidis 13076, Staphylococcus aureus 2592, Vibrio parahaemolyticus 17802) molds (Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999 Aspergillus 465) expressed diameter (mm) inhibition zone. values total content ranged 2.35 10.46 mg GAE g-1. scavenging activity DPPH radicals did not show any significant difference for 2, 4, 5. same trend was observed between ABTS+ results these samples. highest sample 1. extracts demonstrated statistically antibacterial E. 25922. Regarding antifungal samples, there found differences when compared that can be used food ingredient improve foods.
