Compositional and nutritional studies on two wild mushrooms from Western Ghat forests of Karnataka, India
Ravikrishnan, V1, Sanjeev Ganesh2, Madaiah Rajashekhar3.
The chemical composition and nutritional value of two wild mushroom species namely,
Amanita hemibapha (Berk.&Br.) Sacc. and Trogia cantharelloides (Mont.) Pat. was
determined. Nutritional evaluation includes proximate, amino acid, fatty acid and mineral
analysis. The macronutrient profile in general revealed that the wild mushrooms were rich
source of carbohydrates and protein, and had low fat content. On the basis of proximate
analysis, it can be calculated that an edible portion of 100 g of these mushrooms provides, on
an average, 420.083 kcal (1758.802 kJ). Among the total amino acids lysine, leucine, threonine
and isoleucine were found as major essential amino acids in both the species. The fatty acid
analysis by Gas Chromatography could identify and quantify about 17 and 18 fatty acids in
A. hemibapha and T. cantharelloides, respectively. Linoleic acid (34.56±0.002 g) per 100 g
lipid was the predominant polyunsaturated fatty acid in T. cantharelloides where oleic acid
(38.82±0.005 g) per 100 g lipid was in A. hemibapha. Phosphorous and potassium was the most
abundant minerals followed by magnesium in both the species. This study contributes to the
documentation of the nutritional composition of A. hemibapha and T. cantharelloides.
