| studies on some edible wild mushrooms from nigeria: 1. nutritional, teratogenic and toxic considerations. | the biological value of 5 mushrooms chlorophyllum molybditis, psathyrella atroumbonata, termitomyces robustus, termitomyces striatus and volvariella esculenta from our collection of wild edible mushrooms were determined using weanling rats. c. molybditis supported rapid growth with per (2.63) higher than the casein control (2.50). p. atroumbonata was average in biological performance (per 1.50) while t. robustus and v. esculenta did not support growth at all. rats on t. striatus dried at 60 degr ... | 1993 | 8474999 |
| three edible wild mushrooms from nigeria: their proximate and mineral composition. | the pilei (caps) and the stipes (stalks) of the button and early open-cap (cup) stages of lentinus subnudus, psathyrella atroumbonata and termitomyces striatus were assayed separately for their proximate and mineral composition. the differences observed in the contents of some of the proximate components seem to be related to species and mushroom parts. p. atroumbonata was richest in crude and true protein, l. subnudus was richer in crude fiber, ash and carbohydrates. mineral contents appeared t ... | 1996 | 9139305 |
| isolation and structural elucidation of a water-soluble polysaccharide (ps-i) of a wild edible mushroom, termitomyces striatus. | a heteropolysaccharide (ps-i), isolated from the hot aqueous extract of an edible mushroom, termitomyces striatus, is composed of d-glucose, d-galactose, d-mannose and l-fucose in a molar ratio 2:1:1:1. structural investigation of the native as well as the smith-degraded polysaccharide was carried out using methylation analysis, periodate oxidation studies and 1d and 2d nmr spectroscopy, and the repeating unit of the polysaccharide is established as follows: [carbohydrate structure: see text] | 2006 | 16516873 |
