Abstract
ABSTRACTThe antioxidant properties, mycochemical, and phenolic profiling of Termitomyces clypeatus, an edible mushroom from the lateritic region of West Bengal, India, was done. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, chelating ability, reducing power, and total antioxidant capacity assays. Their EC50 values ranged from 8.25 µg.mL–1 to 1.008 mg.mL–1. Among the mycochemical constituents, phenols, ascorbic acid, and flavonoids were higher than β-carotene and lycopene. The analysis of the phenolic compounds performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed the presence of pyrogallol (50.34 µg.mg–1).
