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 showed th...

A study was carried out to understand the mineral constituent variations under cobalt treatment in Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper. The experiments were conducted in earthen pots and lined the inner surface with polythene sheet. Each pot contains 3 kg of air dried soil. Blackgram plants were raised in these pots containing soils amended with different concentrations of cobalt (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and ...

In this present study, crude oil, fatty acid and mineral compositions of wheat (Triticum sp. L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), triticale (Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus.), rye (Secale cereale L.), and oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars, respectively, from Turkey were investigated. Both the distribution of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), and the mineral contents of ...

This study presents the proximate and mineral composition of Peperomia pellucida L., an underexploited weed plant in Malaysia. Proximate analysis was performed using standard AOAC methods and mineral contents were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry. The results indicated Peperomia pellucida to be rich in crude protein, carbohydrate and total ash contents. The high amount of total a...
