A detailed comparative study on chemical and bioactive properties of wild and cultivated Ganoderma lucidum from Serbia (GS) and China (GCN) was performed. This species was chosen because of their worldwide use as medicinal mushroom. Higher amounts of sugars were found in GS, while higher amounts of organic acids were recorded in GCN. Unsaturated fatty acids predominated over saturated fatty acids. GCN revealed ...
This study was designed to characterize the phenolic profile and evaluate the antibacterial, antimutagenic and antitumor activities of Veronica urticifolia Jacq. methanolic extract. HPLC-DAD/ESI-MS analysis revealed the presence of phenolic acids, flavonoids and phenylethanoids, with acteoside as the main component (14.9 mg/g of extract). Antibacterial effect was determined using the microbroth dilution assay a...
Veronica (Plantaginaceae) genus is widely distributed in different habitats. Phytochemistry studies are increasing because most metabolites with pharmacological interest are obtained from plants. The phenolic compounds of V. montana, V. polita and V. spuria were tentatively identified by HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS. The phenolic profiles showed that flavones were the major compounds (V. montana: 7 phenolic acids, 5 flavone...
Agaricus bisporus (J. E. Lange) Emil J. Imbach and Agaricus brasiliensis Wasser, M. Didukh, Amazonas & Stamets are edible mushrooms. We chemically characterized these mushrooms for nutritional value, hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of methanolic and ethanolic extracts were assessed. Hepatotoxicity was also evaluated. The ethanolic extract of both species was te...
A comparative study on chemical composition (nutritional value, primary and secondary metabolites), antioxidant properties (scavenging activity, reducing power and inhibition of lipid peroxidation), and antimicrobial activity (antibacterial and demelanizing properties) of two samples of Morchella esculenta (morel) from different countries (Portugal and Serbia) was performed. This species was chosen for being on...
This study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the Veronica montana L. water extract and its main phenolic compound, protocatechuic acid. The antibacterial activity was determined by microdilution assay against six strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Listeria monocytogenes was the most sensitive of the tested bacterial species. Antibacterial preserving properties of protocate...
Desert truffle, Tirmania pinoyi (Maire) Malençon from Libya was chemically characterized in nutritional value, primary and secondary metabolites. Antioxidant (scavenging activity, reducing power and inhibition of lipid peroxidation) and antibacterial activity of its methanolic extract alone and in combination with potassium metabisulfite (E224) were evaluated under in vitro conditions. Furthermore, the effect o...
Mushrooms have been reported as sources of biomolecules with various potential. Coprinus comatus was studied to obtain information about this species, comparing cultivated and wild samples. Free sugars, fatty acids, tocopherols, organic acids and phenolic acids were analysed by chromatographic techniques coupled to different detectors. C. comatus methanolic extractwas tested for its antioxidant potential (reduc...
Mushrooms are widely appreciated all over the world for their nutritional properties, and also for their pharmacological value. They have been considered valuable health foods, being a source of many different bioactive compounds such as unsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols, organic acids and phenolic compounds. The present work reports and compares the nutritional value, bioactive compounds and antioxidant pro...
Boletus aereus Bull. is a bolete, an edible mushroom frequently consumed all over the globe as a delicate mushroom, especially in Serbia, Portugal, Basque Country, Navarre, France and Italy. As a member of the Boletaceae family, this mushroom has tubes and pores, instead of gills beneath its cap. B. aereus growing wild in Serbia was chemically characterized in nutritional value and individual compounds (sugars,...
