AMINO ACID PROFILE OF EIGHTEEN ISOLATES OF DIFFERENT EDIBLE MACROFUNGAL SPECIES

Аннотация

Edible macrofungi, also known as mushrooms, are valued for their nutritional and medicinal properties. The amino acid profile of these macrofungal species is an essential aspect of their nutritional quality. This study aimed to investigate the amino acid composition of eighteen isolates from different edible macrofungal species. The analysis involved the identification and quantification of various amino acids using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results revealed variations in the amino acid profiles among the different macrofungal species, indicating their unique nutritional compositions. The essential amino acids, which are crucial for human health, were also determined. The findings provide valuable insights into the amino acid composition of these edible macrofungal species, contributing to a better understanding of their nutritional value and potential applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. KEYWORDS Edible macrofungi, mushrooms, amino acid profile, nutritional quality, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), essential amino acids, nutritional composition, food industry, pharmaceutical industry.
