non volatile taste components of Agaricus blazei agrocybe cylindracea and boletus edulis
Food Chemistry, 2008Co-Authors: Shu-yao Tsai, Huili TsaiAbstract:Abstract Three species of dried mushrooms are commercially available in Taiwan, namely Agaricus blazei (Brazilian mushroom), Agrocybe cylindracea (black popular mushroom) and Boletus edulis (king bolete), and their non-volatile taste components were studied. All mushrooms were high in contents of carbohydrate, crude fiber and protein but low in contents of crude ash and fat. Arabitol, myo-inositol, mannitol and trehalose were detected in these three mushrooms, whereas glucose was not found in B. edulis . Contents of total soluble sugars and polyols ranged from 150.33 to 225.08 mg/g. Total free amino acid contents were low in these three mushrooms and ranged from 8.97 to 14.91 mg/g. The contents of MSG-like components ranged from 1.24 to 4.40 mg/g were in the descending order of the A. blazei , A. cylindracea and B. edulis . Total 5′-nucleotides contents of A. blazei and A. cylindracea were higher than that of B. edulis whereas flavor 5′-nucleotides content of A. blazei was higher than those of A. cylindracea and B. edulis . Equivalent umami concentrations values in three mushrooms ranged from 10.46 to 135.90 g per 100 g. Overall, these three mushrooms possessed highly umami taste.

antioxidant properties of Agaricus blazei agrocybe cylindracea and boletus edulis
Lwt - Food Science and Technology, 2007Co-Authors: Shu-yao Tsai, Huili TsaiAbstract:Abstract Three mushrooms are currently available in Taiwan, including Agaricus blazei, Agrocybe cylindracea, and Boletus edulis. Their ethanolic and hot water extracts were prepared and antioxidant properties studied. Ethanolic extracts from three mushrooms were more effective than hot water extracts in antioxidant activity using the conjugated diene method and scavenging ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals whereas hot water extracts were more effective in reducing power, scavenging ability on hydroxyl radials and chelating ability on ferrous ions as evidenced by their lower EC50 values. Overall, for both extracts, B. edulis was more effective among antioxidant properties assayed. Naturally occurring antioxidant components including total tocopherols (3.18–6.18 mg/g) and total phenols (5.67–5.81 mg/g) were found in the extracts and their contents were associated (r=0.636–0.907) with EC50 value of antioxidant properties. Based on the results obtained, both extracts from these three mushrooms were effective in antioxidant properties.

Antiviral activity of Agaricus blazei Murrill ss. Heinem extract against human and bovine herpesviruses in cell culture Inibição da replicação de herpes vírus humano e bovino pelo extrato de Agaricus blazei Murrill ss. Heinem em cultura de células
Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2006Co-Authors: Rafaela Bruggemann, Mário Sérgio Mantovani, Lígia Carla Faccin, Carlos Nozawa, Janaina Matsuo Orlandi, Fabrício José Benati, Rosa Elisa Carvalho LinharesAbstract:The aqueous extract of Agaricus blazei Murill ss. Heinem, a basidiomycete native from Brazil, frequently used by popular medicine, mainly in the form of tea, was assessed to its antiviral action against herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) and bovine herpes type 1 (BoHV-1) in HEp-2 cell culture. Viral replication inhibition was evaluated by plaque assay and immunofluorescence test. The extract demonstrated virucide action for both viruses, being more effective against HSV-1, inhibiting its infectivity in 78.4 and 73.9% at the concentrations of 50 and 100 µg/mL, respectively moreover, reduction in 47% the number of fluorescent cells was observed for both concentrations. The extract also showed discrete therapeutic activity. These results suggest that A. blazei extract acts mainly in the viral particle, however, the effect during virus replication can not be ruled out.O extrato aquoso de Agaricus blazei Murill ss. Heinem, um basidiomiceto nativo do Brasil, usado na medicina popular, na forma de chá, foi avaliado quanto suas propriedades antivirais contra herpes simplex tipo 1 (HSV-1) e herpes bovino tipo 1 (BoHV-1) em cultura de células HEp-2. A inibição da replicação viral foi monitorada pelos ensaio de placa e reação de imunofluorescência. O extrato apresentou atividade virucida mais efetiva do que terapêutica para ambos os vírus, sendo mais efetivo portanto para HSV-1, inibindo em mais de 70% o número de plaques e em cerca de 47% o número de células apresentando fluorescência específica, nas concentrações de 50 e 100 µg/mL, nas duas técnicas utilizadas. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que o extrato aquoso de A. blazei deve agir principalmente sobre a partícula viral, embora a inibição durante o ciclo replicativo do vírus não deva ser excluída

mechanism of anticlastogenicity of Agaricus blazei murill mushroom organic extracts in wild type cho k1 and repair deficient xrs5 cells by chromosome aberration and sister chromatid exchange assays
Mutation Research, 2003Co-Authors: Rodrigo Cabral Luiz, Berenice Quinzani Jordao, Augusto Ferreira Da Eira, Lúcia Regina Ribeiro, Mário Sérgio MantovaniAbstract:Abstract Agaricus blazei Murill is a medicinal mushroom native to Brazil. The present work assessed the clastogenic and anticlastogenic potential of organic extracts (ethanol and chloroform/methanol) from the lineage AB97/11 in chinese hamster CHO-K 1 (wild type) and CHO-xrs5 (repair deficient) cells using the chromosome aberration (CA) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) assays. In these experimental conditions were observed: (a) anticlastogenic effect at concentrations of 0.06 and 0.09% of the EtOH extract and at the 0.03 and 0.06% concentrations of the C/MetOH extract in CHO-K 1 ; (b) absence of protector effect on CHO-xrs5 cells; and (c) absence of protector effect in the SCE assay. These results indicate that organic extracts of A. blazei lineage AB97/11 present bio-antimutagenic type protective activity.

Agaricus blazei murrill from brazil an ingredient for nutraceutical and cosmeceutical applications
Food & Function, 2019Co-Authors: Oludemi Taofiq, Maria Filomena Barreiro, Lillian Barros, Isabel C.f.r. Ferreira, Francisca Rodrigues, Rosane Marina Peralta, Beatriz M P P OliveiraAbstract:Operations for sorting mushrooms at the industrial level usually generate large amounts of bio-residues not conforming to strict morphological criteria for commercial purposes, even though their biological content is not compromised. In this context, the present work aimed at evaluating the potential for reutilizing industrially discarded Agaricus blazei Murill (ABM). Thus, the content of essential nutrients and the chemical composition were determined, and MTT and LDH assays were used to evaluate the viability and cell death of Caco-2 and HT29 cell lines of an ethanolic extract prepared from ABM (preliminary safety tests for nutraceutical applications). The extract was incorporated into a semi-solid base cosmetic cream and cell viability effects of the extract, and of the final cream formulation, on a keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) were studied (preliminary safety tests for cosmeceutical applications). Essential nutrients, such as proteins and carbohydrates, and a low fat content were determined for ABM. Twenty-two fatty acids were detected, with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (∼53%) being the most abundant fraction. The cell viabilities of Caco-2 and HT29 cells were maintained up to 100 μg mL−1. After incorporation into the base cream, a formulation with a pale yellow colour and favourable pH was obtained. The cell viability of HaCaT cells in the presence of the extract and the final cream formulation was maintained in a concentration dependent manner, which indicates the safety of this extract for cosmeceutical applications. The results suggest that ABM residues can be used as an inexpensive and sustainable source of nutraceutical and cosmeceutical ingredients.

a natural food ingredient based on ergosterol optimization of the extraction from Agaricus blazei evaluation of bioactive properties and incorporation in yogurts
Food & Function, 2018Co-Authors: Rubia Carvalho Gomes Correa, Lillian Barros, Marina Sokovic, Rosane Marina Peralta, Adelar Bracht, ângela Fernandes, Isabel C.f.r. FerreiraAbstract:In recent years, mycosterols have emerged as potential functional ingredients for the development of sterol-enriched food products and dietary supplements. Agaricus blazei is a mushroom rich in bioactive compounds. For commercial purposes, their fruiting bodies must obey rigid morphological criteria. Those not conforming to these criteria are usually discarded, although this does not mean impairment of their content in bioactives. The aim of the present work was to propose the use of commercially discarded A. blazei fruiting bodies for obtaining an extract rich in ergosterol as a fortifier ingredient for yogurts. For extraction, the Soxhlet technology was used and the highest ergosterol yield (around 12%) was achieved in the 5th cycle, yielding 58.53 ± 1.72 µg of ergosterol per 100 g of mushroom (dry weight). The ergosterol rich extract presented notable antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, besides showing no hepatotoxicity. When added to the yogurts it significantly enhanced their antioxidant properties. Furthermore, it did not significantly alter the nutritional or the individual fatty acid profiles of the final dairy products. Thus, A. blazei fruiting bodies that do not conform to the commercial requirements of the market and are normally discarded could be exploited for obtaining a natural high added-value food additive, following the circular bioeconomy concept.

effects of the continuous administration of an Agaricus blazei extract to rats on oxidative parameters of the brain and liver during aging
Molecules, 2014Co-Authors: Anacharis Babeto De Sanakanishi, Rosane Marina Peralta, Andreia Assuncao Soares, Maria Raquel Marcal Natali, Jurandir Fernando Comar, Adelar BrachtAbstract:An investigation of the effects of an aqueous extract of Agaricus blazei, a medicinal mushroom, on the oxidative state of the brain and liver of rats during aging (7 to 23 months) was conducted. The treatment consisted in the daily intragastric administration of 50 mg/kg of the extract. The A. blazei treatment tended to maintain the ROS contents of the brain and liver at lower levels, but a significant difference was found only at the age of 23 months and in the brain. The TBARS levels in the brain were maintained at lower levels by the A. blazei treatment during the whole aging process with a specially pronounced difference at the age of 12 months. The total antioxidant capacity in the brain was higher in treated rats only at the age of 12 months. Compared with previous studies in which old rats (21 months) were treated during a short period of 21 days with 200 mg/kg, the effects of the A. blazei extract in the present study tended to be less pronounced. The results also indicate that the long and constant treatment presented a tendency of becoming less effective at ages above 12 months.
