“…However, A. bisporus is usually considered to be of lesser value nutritionally and medicinally compared with other cultivated mushrooms that are predominantly grown in Asia. 1 Recent evidence suggests that A. bisporus also contains high levels of substances of possible medicinal importance, such as tyrosinase, aromatase inhibitors and immunomodulating and antitumour polysaccharides. 1 Cold water extracts of A. bisporus have the ability to neutralise genotoxic effects of reactive oxygen species.…”

BACKGROUND: Agaricus bisporus is the premier cultivated edible mushroom but is usually considered to be of lesser value nutritionally and medicinally compared with other cultivated mushrooms. The objective of this study was to investigate the radical-scavenging properties of methanolic extracts and the free radical-processing enzyme activities of water extracts from A. bisporus fruit bodies. Analyses were performed on total fruit bodies from three strains and on separated stipe, cap and gills from one strain, all cultivated experimentally under the same conditions.

“…Edible mushrooms tend to be high in moisture and especially Agaricus bisporus (Beelman et al, 2003). The dry matter (percent solids) content of A. bisporus is 7.84% (with a standard error of 0.70) (Burton and Noble, 1993), with small or no differences between flushes and crops (Frankhuizen and Boekestein, Mushrooms have a short postharvest shelf-life of 3-4 days compared to other supermarket produce (i.e., fresh vegetables), mainly because they have no cuticle to protect them from physical damage or microbial attack and water loss (Burton and Noble, 1993).…”

Assessing the effect of product variability on the management of the quality of mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus).Postharvest Biology and Technology 49 (2008) To study the shelf-life of mushrooms, over 25 batches were subjected to three storage temperatures (T) (5, 15 and 25 • C) and three storage relative humidity (RH) levels (70, 80 and 90%). The effect of T and the RH on the kinetics of quality attributes of the batches was studied by measuring water activity, turgor, colour (L, a* and b* in the Hunter Scale) and weight loss of three different tissues (cap, gills and stipe) of the mushroom. Linear mixed effect models, comprising polynomial models to describe quality kinetics and allowing for batch-to-batch and inside-batch nested variability structure, were built. The resulting models described changes in the six quality factors with time, their kinetic dependence on temperature and relative humidity and estimated the variability components in a typical retailer situation. Significant quadratic effects, pointing to optimal storage conditions were found for the temperature (L and a values, b value, water activity, turgor and weight) and for the relative humidity (L and a values, b value, water activity and total weight). Optimal storage conditions point to a practice of low temperature and high relative humidity to preserve product weight, although other properties can be optimally preserved using higher storage temperatures and therefore pointing to possible cost savings in storage. Significant batch-to-batch and inside-batch variability components were identified, giving an estimate of the variability expected on the management of different quality attributes of such a biological product in an agricultural retail scenario.

“…Agaricus bisporus is one of the most commonly and widely consumed culinary mushrooms in European and America [1]. It has been revealed that Agaricus bisporus contains various abundant nutritional substances, such as proteins [2], polysaccharides [3], fatty acids [4], vitamins [5], and phenols [6].…”

Agaricus bisporus is one of the most consumed culinary mushrooms in the world. The white type of Agaricus bisporus has been demonstrated with various bioactivities beneficial to human health. However, little was known about its brown type. In this study, the anti-cancer and immunoregulatory potential of Agaricus bisporus (brown) polysaccharide were investigated in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the polysaccharide had a significant antiproliferative effect on Hela cells (cervical cancer cells), especially at the high concentration of 200 μg/ml. The spleen index, thymus index and carbon clearance ability of mice were remarkably increased by the polysaccharide treatment, indicating the polysaccharide had a promising benefit for immunodulation in vivo. Furthermore, the polysaccharide increased the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells with 19.1% at 50µg /ml and 34.5% at 100µg /ml, which demonstrated the immunodulation mechanism was in close conjunction with macrophages. In conclusion, these results indicated that Agaricus bisporus (brown) polysaccharide possessed strong immunostimulatory and antitumor bioactivity in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, it could be explored as a novel natural antitumor agent with immunomodulatory activity.
