Abstract

Within
this study 40 samples including sequential extracts, water extracts and drug
samples obtained from five mushroom samples wild grown from Turkey were
evaluated for their mineral composition analysis. All samples were found as
rich sources of minerals notably Ca, K, Si, Mg, Se and Si which might
contribute health enhancing properties. The levels of heavy metals were
detected in low amounts in the extracts of mushroom species (except T. populinum). Acetone and ethyl acetate
were detected as the most efficient solvents in the isolation of minerals from
mushroom samples. Our findings showed that extracting of mineral compounds were
varied due to the type of solvents applied and mycochemical diversity and the reported
mineral compounds profiles suggest that these wild-edible mushrooms might be
potential sources of therapeutic nutraceuticals.
