Differences in Antioxidants, Polyphenols, Protein Digestibility and Nutritional Profile between Ganoderma lingzhi from Industrial Crops in Asia and Ganoderma lucidum from Cultivation and Iberian Origin

Carpophores of Ganoderma lingzhi (GZ) from industrial crops in China were analysed and compared with carpophores three Iberian strains cultivated lucidum (GL) (Aveiro, Madrid, Palencia) previously genetically characterized. The genetic determination all the fungi study coincided identification provided by companies entities that supplied samples. Cultivation time ranged between 107 141 days. analysis total phenol content showed to be 56.8% higher for GL Palencia than GZ. Intraspecific variation was a maximum 56% GL. antioxidants, both intraspecific interspecific, found strain-dependent 78.5%. nutritional shows there are differences dietary fiber, protein, ash sodium In fatty acids analysis, only trans significant differences, being Protein profile digestibility GZ GL-Madrid mushroom proteins evaluated digestion simulated gastric fluid different. two species perfectly differentiated according their protein profile. These results should considered applications.
