Abstract

In this study, Suillus spp. after determining the dry matter and protein amounts of the mushroom, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the ethanolic extracts were investigated. Free radical scavenging activity was determined by DPPH method and phenolic content was determined by HPLC. Antimicrobial activity of Suillus spp. was determined against microorganisms that Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes and Pseudomonas florescens microorganisms. Suillus mushroom had a antioxidant activity and It was determined that the phenolic components with the highest amount of phenolic acid were ellagic acid, caffeic acid and gentisic acid, respectively. It was stated that Suillus extract inhibited the growth of S. aureus and E. coli, while suppressing the growth of S. Typhimurium, L. monocytogenes and P. florescens.
