Proximate analysis, phtochemical screening and antioxidant activity of different strains of ganoderma lucidum (Reishi Mushroom) Mohammad Azizur Rahman Abdullah Al Masud Nilufar Yasmin Lira Salman Shakil<p>In this study, proximate analysis, phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity of two strains of medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum (arbitrarily named strain 5 and 7) and their mix, cultivated in Bangladesh National Mushroom Development Institute, have been determined. The mix was used to determine whether it contains higher nutritive value than strain 5 and 7 alone. Protein content per 100 gm of strain 5, 7 and mix had been found to be 278.85mg, 298.69mg&nbsp; and 286.19mg, respectively. Lipid content estimated were 2.43gm, 1.96 gm and 2.4gm, respectively, while that of ash were 4.42 gm, 6.11gm and 3.93gm, respectively.&nbsp; Ganoderma lucidum strain 7 contained highest amounts of total phenol, total flavonoid, ascorbic acid and reducing sugar than the others. Among the three strains evaluated in the present study, G. lucidum 7 contained highest nutritional and medicinal components. Thus, G. lucidum 7 might be an ideal food supplement to the consumers.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> Open Journal of Biological Sciences - Peertechz Publications 2020-06-11 Research Article https://doi.org/10.17352/ojbs.000020 en Copyright © Mohammad Azizur Rahman et al.
