Evaluation of the Bioactive Composition of Some Wild Mushrooms Found in Abia State of Nigeria
- Okwulehie I. C.; Enwere C. E.
- The study was designed to evaluate the phytochemical composition, vitamins, minerals and heavy metal compositions of four wild species of mushrooms (Steriumcomplicatum, Laetiporussulphhureas, Pleurotus species and Lentinussquarrosulus). Results of the investigation revealed that the bioactive constituents of the mushrooms were as follows; Cyanide (2.78±0.00-4.39±0.01), Flavonoids (5.76±0.01-6.21+0.01%), Tannins (4.21±0.00-6.71±0.01%), Saponin (0.11±0.01-0.15±0.00%). The results of vitamins composition indicated that the mushrooms contained; vitamin A (1.06±0.00-2.11±0.01mg/100g), Vitamin B1 (1.18±0.01-2.11±0.01mg/100g), Vitamin C (30.8±0.00-68±0.00mg/100g). The mineral compositions of the mushrooms were as follows; Magnesium (6.13±0.00-8.38±0.05mg/100g), Calcium (1.79±0.05-3.73±0.05mg/100g), Sodium (17.45±0.05-26.85±0.05mg/100g), and Phosphorus (26.25±0.05-41.1±0.1mg/100g). Heavy metals concentration indicated Lead (5.73±0.01-49±0.00ppm), Iron (49.7±0.10-73.55±0.05ppm), Manganese (14.7±0.00-28.8±0.10ppm) and Zinc (15.75±0.05-20.25±0.05ppm). The results obtained indicate that mushrooms are good sources of phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals needed for maintenance of good health and can also be incorporated in the production of drugs. Similarly, the heavy metals obtained from the mushrooms indicate that when consumed in high quantity may cause damage to the liver or kidney; death may result.
