DOES THE SOURCE MATTER? PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY FROM MYCELIUM IN LIQUID MEDIUM, WILD AND CULTIVATED FRUITING BODIES OF THE NEOTROPICAL SPECIES GANODERMA TUBERCULOSUM

As a continuation of the study biologically active compounds native neotropical Ganoderma species in Paraguay, content total phenolic compounds, antioxidants and percentage antioxidant activity fractions extracted with ethanol, hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate water mycelium liquid medium, wild cultivated fruiting bodies G. tuberculosum, were analyzed. Biologically highest ether bodies, 126.49 ± 4.19 mg. (GAE) g-1 (milligrams Gallic acid equivalent per grams crude extract), 130.94 5.302 mg .g-1 AAE Ascorbic extract) 70.93% compared to 67.39 1.5 g-1, 48.37 0.73.g-1 45.63% activity. According values obtained present study, body tuberculosum is promising source for food industry.
