Effect of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) on Cholesterol Level and Red Blood Cell Count

Source: May Anne B. Bautista

Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the effect of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus on cholesterol level and red blood cell count. The different treatments evaluated were; Treatment 1 Commercial feeds + water (T1), Treatment 2 Pelleted Mushroom (Pillus) + water (T2) and Treatment 3 Pelleted Mushroom (Stipe) + water.

Based on the results of the study, both mushroom parts such as pillus and stipe has a significant effect to cholesterol level and red blood cell count. Cholesterol level decreased in white rats fed with P. ostreatus and red blood cell counts increased.

It was concluded that the white rats fed with P. ostreatus can lower the blood cholesterol level and can be increased red blood cell counts. Therefore, P. ostreatus can be an alternative drug and also be a source of some important vitamins, and minerals that help maintain normal body function.

Chromatographic analysis of macro and micronutrients in the most widely appreciated cultivated mushrooms.

Authors:              Reis, Filipa S.

Abstract:             

More than 3000 mushrooms are said to be "prime edible species", of which only 100 are cultivated commercially, and only ten of those on an industrial scale. Their global economic value is nevertheless now staggering, and a prime reason for the rise in consumption is the above mentioned combination of their value as a food (equilibrated macro and micronutrient s) [1] as well as their medicinal and nutraceutical values [2,3]. The present work reports and compares the chemical composition and nutritional value of the most consumed species as fresh cultivated mushrooms: Agaricus bisporus (White and Brown mushrooms), Pleurotus ostreatus (Oyster mushroom), Pleurotus eryngil (King oyster mushroom), Lentinula edodes (Shiitake) and Flammulina velutipes (Golden needle mushroom). Nutritional value was accessed through the composition in macronutrients determined following standard procedures; individual profiles in sugars and fatty acids were obtained by HPLC-RI and GC-F ID, respectively. Micronutrients such as vitamin E were also analysed by HPLC-fluorescence. Shiitake revealed the highest levels of macronutrients, unless proteins, as also the highest sugars, tocopherols and PU FA levels, and the lowest SFA content. White and brown mushrooms showed similar macronutrients composition, as also similar values of total sugars, MUFA, PUFA and total tocopherols. Oyster and king oyster mushrooms gave the highest MUFA contents with similar contents in PUFA, MUFA and SFA in both samples. They also revealed similar moisture, ash, carbohydrates and energy values. This study contributes to the elaboration of nutritional databases of the most consumed fungi species worldwide, allowing comparison between them. Moreover it was concluded that cultivated and the wild samples of the same species have different chemical composition, including sugars, fatty acids and tocopherols profiles.

Abstract:

This study entitled “Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)” aims to produce an effective anti-inflammatory that can be used in place of the commercial products available in terms of effectiveness but just in a low cost.

The Pleurotus ostreatus with its chitin content was found out that the capacity to cure inflammation. The curing extract was obtained through crude extraction. Shredded mushroom was soaked in a solution of distilled water and 5% Clorox for five minutes. Afterwards the samples were washed three times with distilled water and been founded to get the extract and undergone water bath process. Extract were mixed with egg albumin in a ratio of 1:1.

After the product has been tested, we proved that this mushroom extract was effective in curing simple inflammations like insect bites and minor burns.
