    Chemical compositions and antioxidant activities of 16 wild edible mushroom species grown in Anatolia
    (2012) Akata I.; Ergönül B.; Kalyoncu F.
    In this study, chemical compositions and antioxidant activities of 16 wild edible mushrooms (Agrocybe cylindracea, Amanita ceciliae, Armittaria mellea, Boletus reticulatus, Cantharellus cibarius, Chlorophyllum rhacodes, Coprinus comatus, Flammulina velutipes var. velutipes, Lactarius deliciosus, Lactarius salmonicolor, Pleurotus ostreatus, Polyporus squamosus, Rhizopogon roseolus, Russula anthracina, Suillus collinitus and Tricholoma myomyces) were investigated. Antioxidant properties of methanol extracts were studied by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method. Among the mushroom extract Amanita ceciliae and Pleurotus ostreatus (96.16 %) showed the most potent radical scavenging activities at 4.51 and 2.72 mg mL -1, respectively. The lowest scavenging activity was exhibited by C. rhacodes (70.46%) at 2.35 mg mL -1. © 2012 Asian Network for Scientific Information.

    Determination of fatty acid contents of five wild edible mushroom species collected from anatolia
    (2013) Akata I.; Ergonul P.G.; Ergonul B.; Kalyoncu F.
    The fatty acid contents of five wild edible mushroom species (Amanita ceciliae, Armillaria mellea, Cantharellus cibarius, Chlorophyllum rhacodes and Rhizopogon roseolus) collected from different regions from Anatolia were determined. The fatty acids were identified and quantified by gas chromatography and studied using fruit bodies. Fatty acid composition varied among species. The dominant fatty acid in fruit bodies of all mushrooms was cis-linoleic acid (18:2). Percentage of cis-linoleic acid in species varied from 31.81 % to 57.70 %. The other major fatty acids were, respectively, cis-oleic, palmitic and stearic acids. Fatty acids analysis of the mushrooms showed that the unsaturated fatty acids were at higher concentrations than saturated fatty acids.
