“…levels. The potential lactogenic effect of polysaccharide extracts from P. eryngii has been reported in a few studies [44,46,47]. Our results demonstrated that P. eryngii mushrooms from both substrates induced a significant increase of lactobacilli compared to NC and baseline after 24-h fermentation, showing an analogous effect to the prebiotic inulin.…”

Alterations of gut microbiota are evident during the aging process. Prebiotics may restore the gut microbial balance, with β-glucans emerging as prebiotic candidates. This study aimed to investigate the impact of edible mushrooms rich in β-glucans on the gut microbiota composition and metabolites by using in vitro static batch culture fermentations and fecal inocula from elderly donors (n = 8). Pleurotus ostreatus, P. eryngii, Hericium erinaceus and Cyclocybe cylindracea mushrooms derived from various substrates were examined. Gut microbiota composition (quantitative PCR (qPCR)) and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs; gas chromatography (GC)) were determined during the 24-h fermentation. P. eryngii induced a strong lactogenic effect, while P. ostreatus and C. cylindracea induced a significant bifidogenic effect (p for all <0.05). Furthermore, P. eryngii produced on wheat straw and the prebiotic inulin had comparable Prebiotic Indexes, while P. eryngii produced on wheat straw/grape marc significantly increased the levels of tested butyrate producers. P. ostreatus, P. eryngii and C. cylindracea had similar trends in SCFA profile; H. erinaceus mushrooms were more diverse, especially in the production of propionate, butyrate and branched SCFAs. In conclusion, mushrooms rich in β-glucans may exert beneficial in vitro effects in gut microbiota and/or SCFAs production in elderly subjects.

“…Three cerebrosides with different lengths of the fatty acid portion have been isolated and identified from Pleurotus cornucopiae (Paulet) Rolland (Lee et al 2017). Furthermore, purified acidic glycosphingolipids (AGLs) from P. eryngii were reported to induce interleukin-2 (IL-2) release from invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells inducing prolonged retention of IL-4 in serum in vitro and in vivo (Fu et al 2016). So through iNKT cell activation AGLs isolated from P. eryngii might be involved in the maintenance of immunohomeostasis.…”

“…A dimeric lectin, composed of subunits with a molecular weight of 40 and 41 KDa, isolated from fresh fruiting bodies of P. ostreatus exerted antitumor activity in mice bearing sarcoma S-180 and hepatoma H-22 (Table 5). Fu et al (2016) reported the isolation of a laccase from P. eryngii with antiviral activity against HIV. The laccase was active against HIV-1 growth with an IC 50 of 2.2 lM by inhibiting HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.…”

Mycochemicals in wild and cultivated mushrooms: nutrition and health

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The mushrooms have contributed to the development of active ingredients of fundamental importance in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry as well as of important tools in human and animal health, nutrition, and functional food. This review considers studies on the beneficial effects of medicinal mushrooms on the nutrition and health of humans and farm animals. An overview of the chemical structure and composition of mycochemicals is presented in this review with particular reference to phenolic compounds, triterpenoids and sterols, fatty acids and lipids, polysaccharides, proteins, peptides, and lectins. The nutritional value and chemical composition of wild and cultivated mushrooms in Italy is also the subject of this review which also deals with mushrooms as nutraceuticals and the use of mushrooms in functional foods. The nutraceutical benefits of UV irradiation of cultivated species of basidiomycetes to generate high amounts of vitamin D2 is also highlighted and the ability of the muhsrooms to inhibit glycation is analyzed. Finally, attention is paid to studies on bioactivities of some Italian wild and cultivated mushrooms with particular reference to species belonging to the genus Pleurotus. The review highlights the potential of medicinal mushrooms in the production of mycochemicals that represent a source of drugs, nutraceutical, and functional food. Graphic abstract

Six aromatic compounds including a new (Z)-ferulic acid ester (1) and a new syringic acid ester (2), as well as four known ferulic acid esters (3–6), were isolated from a well-known edible mushroom, Pleurotus eryngii. Structures of these aromatics were unambiguously characterized via spectroscopic methods especially MS and NMR techniques. All the isolates were assessed for their antiradical effect and NO production inhibitory activity in RAW264.7 macrophages, and compounds 1 and 3 displayed mild DPPH radical removing activity, with IC50 values of 25.0 and 21.6 mM, respectively.
