Evaluation of Nutrient Content and Antioxidant Activity of Wood Ear Mushroom (Auricularia auricula-Judae) in the Addition of Reeds (Imperata cylindrica (L.) Beauv) as a Cultivation Medium

The nutritional content of mushrooms depends on the type substrate in growing medium. Lignocellulose is one substrates used for fungal growth media. In this study, effect adding dried reeds (Imperata cylindrical (L.) Beauv) Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria Nielsen) sawdust-based media was investigated wood ear mushroom (Auricularia auricula-Judae) fruiting body. Reeds have been added to sawdust as cultivated medium with variations S0, S1, S2, S3, and S4 (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% reeds, respectively). S0 designed negative control positive control. evaluation carried out against C/N ratio, yield, biological efficiency (BE), content, antioxidant activity body after 10, 20, 30 days planted. highest ratio BE were obtained from S1 lowest moisture fat best result analysis includes following; total carbohydrate, ash, crude fiber, protein S4, S0. Furthermore, ABTS DPPH at methanol extract medium, compared ascorbic acid This study has shown that influences growth, mushrooms.
