Influences of Some Aromatic Plants on Volatile Compounds and Bioactivity of Cultivated Pleurotus citrinopileatus and Pleurotus  djamor

Chem Biodivers. 2022 Nov 2. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202200462. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo edible Pleurotus species, namely, Pleurotus citrinopileatus and Pleurotus djamor grown in the media of mulberry shavings which were substituted with myrtle, bay laurel, and rosemary leaves were studied. According to volatile profiles, 13 aldehydes, 8 ketones, 7 alcohols, 5 aromatic compounds and 4 terpenes were totally identified. Rosemary leaves were very effective for decreasing the concentrations of some oxidation products in Pleurotus citrinopileatus, but the same impact was not seen in Pleurotus djamor. The high amount of benzaldehyde (41.80%) detected in bay laurel medium might have played a role in preventing bioactivity. Control Pleurotus citrinopileatus and Pleurotus djamor had a total phenolic content of 4284.89 and 3080.04 mg GAE per kg DM respectively, and the enrichment of composts with aromatic plant leaves caused significant differences in Pleurotus djamor (p<0.05). Myrtle addition increased total phenolic content and antioxidant activities (by DPPH and FRAP assays) of Pleurotus djamor mushroom as 342.29 mg GAE/kg DM, 0.43 μmol TE/g DM and 2.07 μmol TE/g DM respectively, when compared to intact one.PMID:36322054 | DOI:10.1002/cbdv.202200462
