چکیده

The antioxidant activity of different edible mushrooms was evaluated considering the different contribution of individual and combined extracts. The radical scavenging capacity was evaluated through hydrogen atom transfer and single electron transfer reaction-based assays: DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power, respectively. The inhibition of lipid peroxidation was studied in lipossomes solutions by the β-carotene-linoleate system. Three types of interactions (synergistic, additive and negative synergistic effects) were observed, synergism being the most abundant effect. Marasmius oreades is present in the mixtures with higher antioxidant properties and synergistic effects, while Cantharellus cibarius is present in the mixtures with lowest antioxidant properties and negative synergist effects. Two discriminant analyses were performed considering individual species in one case and mushroom mixtures in the other. The five mushroom species were clustered in five individual groups, but a similar result could not be obtained for the combined mushrooms, for which only the cases containing C. cibarius were separated in individual clusters.

Antioxidants of Edible Mushrooms.

Oxidative stress caused by an imbalanced metabolism and an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) lead to a range of health disorders in humans. Our endogenous antioxidant defense mechanisms and our dietary intake of antioxidants potentially regulate our oxidative homeostasis. Numerous synthetic antioxidants can effectively improve defense mechanisms, but because of their adverse toxic effects...

Effect of blanching and cooking on antioxidant capacity of cultivated edible mushrooms: A comparative study

Three common species of cultivated edible mushrooms were analyzed in terms of their antioxidant capacity and total phenolics content. Fruiting bodies of Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinula edodes were subjected to blanching in a citric acid solution for five minutes and boiling in water for fifteen minutes. Both ethanolic and water extracts were obtained from the mushrooms and ...

Antioxidant Properties of Edible Mushrooms

Antioxidants or molecules with radical scavenger capacity gained attention a few years ago because of their potential protective effect against free radical damage. Epidemiological studies have shown that a higher intake of these compounds is associated with lower risk of mortality from cancer and coronary heart disease. Recent scientific studies confirmed that many edible mushrooms, described ...
