Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the content of some minerals and fatty acids in Tricholomopsis rutilans (Schaeff.) Singer samples. Tricholomopsis rutilans is a saprophytic mushroom growing on or around conifer stumps and characterized by white spore print, yellow gills, a large yellow cap and yellow stipe entirely covered with red to purplish red scale and fibrils. It is an edible mushroom, although the taste is not nice. The analysed mushroom samples, were collected from different localities of Yozgat province during field trips between 2012-2016 years. Mineral analysis were performed by ICP-MS, and fatty acids were tested by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry system (GC-MS). Seven different fatty acids (miristic, pentadecanoic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acid) and six different minerals (Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe, Mg, Na) have been determined in mushroom samples. Oleic and linoleic acid were the major fatty acids with proportions 39.04% and 37.09%, respectively. Na and Mg were found to be the most abundant minerals with 126.895 mg/kg-1 and 754.605 mg/kg-1, respectively among the determined minerals.
Highlights
The role of mushrooms in nutrition and complementary treatment methods is rapidly increasing
This present study aims to reveal the chemical composition of Tricholomopsis rutilans in terms of some minerals and fatty acids
The fatty acids in the structure of the mushroom samples were tested by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry system (GC-MS) and different proportions of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and PUFAs were determined
Summary
The role of mushrooms in nutrition and complementary treatment methods is rapidly increasing. Sodium (Na) as major element of extracellular fluid is involved at the formation of osmotic pressure of blood and other body fluids, transport of certain nutrients through the plasma membrane such as amino acids, glucose, galactose, and excitability of nerve and muscle cells (Seo and Park, 2008; Angelova et al, 2011; Zabłocka-Słowińska and Grajeta, 2012; Mallikarjuna et al, 2013; Gupta, 2014; Strazzullo and Leclercq, 2014; Pietrzak-Fiećko et al, 2016; Al-Fartusie and Mohssan, 2017) This present study aims to reveal the chemical composition of Tricholomopsis rutilans in terms of some minerals and fatty acids
