Abstract
The current study designed to conduct with the main purpose to determine bioactive components of methanolic extract of edible oyster mushroom viz. Pleurotus eryngii using GC-MS technique. P. eryngii samples was purchased from local market, and subjected to methanolic extraction using Soxhlet extraction method. The results of GC-MS analysis delineated that the following prevailing bioactive compounds identified in the methanolic extract of P. eryngii i.e., conhydrin, diethyl phthalate, phthalic acid-butyl hex-3-yl ester (alkaloids), ar-turmerone (sesquiterpenoid), palmitic acid, myristic acid, phenol, and benzoic acid. In conclusion, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids and Vitamin B class of secondary metabolites are the majorly identified in GC-MS analysis of methanolic extracts of P. eryngii. Therefore, methanolic extract of P. eryngii could be exploited for biopharmaceutical and therapeutic applications.
