Exploring the bioactive potential of mushroom aqueous extracts: antimicrobial, ...
Afonso, Tiago Barros; Marçal, Sara; Vale, Pedro; Sousa, Ana Sofia; Nunes, João; Pintado, ManuelaMushrooms provide essential nutrients and bioactive compounds, namely glucans, protein, and phenolic compounds. In this study, two aqueous extractions were performed (M1 and M2) using Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, and Agrocybe cylindracea. In M1, a hot extraction (extract M1) (90 °C, 700 rpm, 1 h) was performed. In M2, a room-temperature extraction (extract M2A) followed by a hot extraction (extract M...
Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus eryngii as a source of phenolic compounds
Marçal, Sara; Vale, Pedro; Sousa, Ana Sofia; Nunes, Catarina; Barros, Joana; Ferreira, Inês; Nunes, João; Pintado, ManuelaThe intake of phenolic compounds from food products and supplements has been associated to prevention of degenerative diseases, mainly due to their antioxidant activity. The phenolic compounds can be found in plant foods and mushrooms. The main goal of this study was to quantify the total phenolic compounds of aqueous extracts from two mushrooms species, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus eryngii, and evaluate t...
