Abstract

Edible mushrooms have been known to possess various phytochemical and micro nutrient levels. Edible mushrooms can be eaten and they supply nutritional benefits to the human body system. It is not widely consumed mainly due to paucity of information about it. Therefore, this research was conducted to compare the phytochemicals and micronutrients levels in two selected edible mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus and Agrocybe aegerita). Fully matured mushroom species of Oyster and Tea tree mushroom were collected, air dried and then stored in transparent polythene bags. Quantitative determination of phytochemicals and micronutrients (minerals and vitamins) present was carried out. Tea tree mushroom used in this research can be said to have the higher concentration of phytochemicals (phenols and poly-phenols), as there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in Oyster mushroom in comparison to Tea tree mushroom for phenols and poly-phenols. The results obtained from this research indicated that there was no significant decrease(p>0.05) in Oyster mushroom in comparison to Tea tree mushroom for Sodium, Iron, Magnesium, Selenium, Manganese. While there was a non-significant increase (p>0.05) in Oyster mushroom in comparison to Tea tree mushroom for Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Copper. Tea tree mushroom had higher composition of vitamins A and C than oyster mushroom which were not significantly different (p>0.05). The findings in this study revealed that Tea tree mushroom (Agrocybe aegerita) is slightly better than Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) based on their phytochemicals and micronutrients (minerals and vitamins).

Abstract

Mushrooms represent an ancient group of heterotrophic organisms classified under Thallophytae, and based on their chemical composition and utility, they are broadly categorized as edible or poisonous. Edible mushrooms can further be divided into wild and cultivated types. This study compares the amino acid profiles and proximate compositions of two edible mushrooms, tea tree mushroom (Agrocybe aegerita) and oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), collected from Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State, Nigeria. Freshly harvested samples were air-dried for three days, pulverized, and subjected to amino acid analysis using isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and proximate analysis following standard protocols from the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Results showed that Agrocybe aegerita exhibited higher concentrations of amino acids compared to Pleurotus ostreatus, with a non-significant decrease (p > 0.05) observed in Pleurotus ostreatus for essential and non-essential amino acids including lysine, methionine, threonine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, valine, tryptophan, histidine, arginine, serine, cysteine, tyrosine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, and proline. Conversely, Pleurotus ostreatus demonstrated slightly higher values in proximate components such as carbohydrate, fiber, ash, and moisture, whereas Agrocybe aegerita showed higher but non-significant values in protein, fat, and energy content. The study concludes that Agrocybe aegerita is nutritionally superior in terms of amino acid composition, while Pleurotus ostreatus is marginally better in proximate nutritional content, supporting their complementary roles in dietary applications.

Abstract

Since the beginning of human civilisation, plants have been one of the main sources of medicines. The demand for pharmaceuticals, health products, food supplements, cosmetics, and medications made from plants is expanding. Since ancient times, traditional medicine has made use of the medicinal plant Annona squamosa. The aim of this research is to evaluate the total phenolic, flavonoid, antioxidant contents and the amino acid, and vitamin profiles of ethanol leaf extract of Annona squamosa L. By using the DPPH free radical scavenging experiment, the antioxidant potential of the ethanol leaf extracts was calculated, and the absorbance was determined at 517 nm. The IC50 value of the leaf was estimated to be 4.24 μg/mL. The Folin Ciocalteu method was used to measure the total phenolic content (TPC) spectrophotometrically. Total flavonoid content (TFC) was measured by aluminium chloride colorimetric assay and Quercetin was used as standard, the absorbance was measured at 520nm. The results showed that A. squamosa leaf is a rich source of phenolics and flavonoid (total Phenolic content: 26.01±1.45mg GAE/g and total flavonoid content: 71.20±35.74 mg QE/g). The high contents of phenolic compounds and flavonoid contents indicated that these compounds contribute to the antioxidant activity. A. squamosa can be regarded as promising plant species for natural plant sources of antioxidants with high potential value for drug preparation. The total amount of amino acids was found to be 331.887 uL Several detection and peak resolution were obtained from the HPLC analysis. The result showed the presence of eight amino acids including Asparagine (2.419uL), Threonine (50.828uL), Phenylalanine (37.533uL), Aspartic Acid (144.558uL), Leucine (8.650uL), Iso-Leucine (9.728uL), Glycine (54.060uL) and four vitamins Vitamin K (2.289mg), Vitamin B1 (958.597mg), Vitamin A (13.568mg) and Vitamin E (62.103mg).
