The volatilomes of both fresh and dried samples of milky mushroom (Calocybe indica P&C var. APK2) were characterized with GCMS/MS. The gas chromatogram was performed with the ethanolic extract of the samples. The results revealed the presence of increased levels of 1, 4:3, 6-Dianhydro-α-dglucopyranose (57.77%) in the fresh and oleic acid (56.58%) in the dried fruiting bodies. The other importan...

Nata de mushroom is one of the products produced by fermenting boiled water white oyster mushrooms. White has a high carbohydrate content about 57.6%-81.8% dry weight and 86.6%. So that it can be used in manufacture nata mushrooms with addition red dragon fruit peel extract. The purpose this study was to determine organoleptic chemical characteristics mushroom. This research uses descriptive qu...

the aim of the study is to examine in-vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the acetonic and methanolic extracts of the mushrooms boletus aestivalis, boletus edulis and leccinum carpini. antioxidant activity was evaluated by using free radical scavenging activity and reducing power. in addition, total content of phenol and flavonoid in extracts were determined as pyrocatechol equivale...

Inonotus obliquus is a mushroom commonly known as Chaga that is widely used in folk medicine in Siberia, North America, and North Europe. Here, we evaluated the antimutagenic and antioxidant capacities of subfractions of Inonotus obliquus extract. The ethyl acetate extract was separated by vacuum chromatography into three fractions, and the fraction bearing the highest antimutagenic activity wa...

The insect mushroom bodies are sensory integration and learning and memory centers that display morphological plasticity on both individual and evolutionary timescales; mushroom bodies and their intrinsic neurons restructure in response to individual behavioral experience [Withers et al., 1993; Seid and Wehner, 2009], while across the insects particular mushroom body morphologies are linked to ...

Dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and increased oxidative stress is a striking phenomenon in the brain of aged individuals. For this reason there has been a constant search for drugs and natural products able to prevent or at least to mitigate these problems. In the present study the effects of an aqueous extract of Agaricus blazei, a medicinal mushroom, on the oxidative state ...

To investigate the new physiological functions of oolong tea, the effects on melanogenesis were studied. An oolong tea extract inhibited melanogenesis without affecting cell growth in B16 mouse melanoma cells. However, the oolong tea extract hardly showed any inhibitory effect on mushroom tyrosinase in a cell-free system. The effects of an oolong tea extract on the intracellular tyrosinase leve...
