Contents of cadmium and mercury in edible mushrooms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wild mushrooms are a popular delicacy in many countries and their consumption is rather high in some individuals. Some species, mainly from the genera Agaricus, Macrolepiota, Lepista and Calocybe accumulate a high content of cadmium and mercury even in unpolluted areas. Levels of these metals increase considerably in heavily polluted sites, such as in the vicinity of both working and abandoned metal smelters or inside cities. Current knowledge of the chemical forms of the metals bound in mushrooms is limited, as are data on their bioavailability in man. Consumption of the species which do accumulate these metals should thus be restricted. A low content of the metals in cultivated mushroom species is characteristic.

متن کاملStudies on Chemical Composition and Nutritive Evaluation of Wild Edible Mushrooms
Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis are among most favorite mushrooms of the world. Mineral contents, proximate composition and fatty acid profile of these mushrooms were determined for evaluation of their dietary value. Na, K and Li contents were high, while Cr, Cu, Pb, Co, Zn, Mn and Ni concentrations were low in both Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. Proximate analysis showe...
متن کاملMercury, lead and cadmium content of fresh and canned fish collected from Austrian retail operations
Ninety-three samples of fresh and canned fish (edible part) collected from Lower Austria, Burgenland and from Viennese retail operations were analysed for mercury, lead and cadmium. The mercury contents ranged from <0,01 (limit of determination) to 0,89 mg/kg with a mean value of 0,14 mg/kg. The highest mercury contents were measured in Escolar (mean value of 0,63 mg/kg), followed by Swordfish ...
متن کاملPickling of chanterelle Cantharellus cibarius mushrooms highly reduce cadmium contamination
Mushrooms are considered as potential bio-remediation agents in soil polluted with heavy metals, while many species which efficiently accumulate them in flesh are edible. Question is if there is any possible culinary use of edible mushrooms with high heavy metal contents? This study aimed to investigate and discuss a fate of cadmium (Cd) in common household-treated fruitbodies of common chanter...
