Proximate and Antioxidant Activity of Mycelia of
Termitomyces microcarpus and Amanita loosii in Juniper in Agricultural Research & Technology: Open Access Journal (ARTOAJ)
In the present investigations two mushrooms i.e. Amanita loosii and Termitomyces microcarpus was collected from the Similipal biosphere reserve of Odisha (India), identified and cultured in vitro culture conditions. Malt extract medium was used to develop these mushroom mycelia and subjected for their proximate nutritional composition along with the antioxidative characterization. Protein content was high in the mycelia of T. microcarpus whereas comparatively low in A. loosii. Carbohydrate concentration was also high in T. microcarpus (32.27±4.03gm/100gm) when compared with A. loosii (6.94±0.39gm/100gm). During the antioxidant analysis high radical scavenging effects was recorded in the T. microcarpus along with its corresponding AEAC i.e 74.92 % and 0.29mg/gm respectively which is expected on account of high amount of antioxidant component like phenolics (1.02±0.16mg/gm) and carotenoids. In all the aspect the comparative study between the mycelia of both the mushrooms reveals that T. microcarpus (2.09±0.32mg/gm) proves to be a good source for nutritional as well as antioxidant components. This study can provide a basic knowledge for the development of therapeutically important compounds.
