Abstract

A total of 20 amino acids were recorded in Lentinus tuberregium and detected by HPLC analysis. However, the maximum amounts of aspartic acid (2.08 g), glutamic acid (1.87 g), isoleucine (1.12 g) were recorded.  From these studies, it was concluded that the supplementation of this mushroom with cereal diet would help to overcome lysine deficiency. Fatty acids were recorded in Lentinus tuberregium and detected by gas chromatography. However, the maximum amounts of Palmitic acid (4.55%), Moroctic acid (0.43%), stearic acid (6.75%) were recorded.  From these studies, it was concluded that the supplementation of this mushroom with cereal diet would help to overcome lysine deficiency. The present study proved the potential of mushrooms which can enhance the health status of an individual.
